@Michaelb451 @bidensbabe @WalshFreedom I did and I didn’t see the relevance. Thanks for the response tho.

Initial thoughts on the CO wedding website designer ruling just now:
1) Respectfully, I believe it’s the correct ruling. The state should never ever be able to compel someone to create artwork, to express ideas, that go against their beliefs.
2) But this is a tricky balance here. This is an emotional clashing of rights. My right to free speech vs your right to not be discriminated against in public accommodations. This case is about public accommodation laws bumping head on into the First Amendment.
3) The ruling makes clear that designing and creating a website for a wedding is speech, it is creative expression. It is not just “selling a product” like selling beer & wine for a wedding. This is correct.
4) The ruling makes clear there is a difference between selling a product and expressing speech. Refusing to sell a dress to a lesbian for her wedding is not allowed. Refusing to create a website for her wedding is allowed.
5) In fact, the web designer said she’d sell products to gays & lesbians, she just can’t create and design works of artistic expression that go against her beliefs.
6) Just as I don’t believe the government should be able to force a pro choice photographer to take pictures at and create a photo album for a pro life rally, I don’t think the government should be able to force a web designer to create a website for a same sex wedding.
7) This is complicated. The clear lines here are drawn on both sides. This ruling will lead to a boatload of future litigation.

@Michaelb451 @bidensbabe @WalshFreedom Your assumption is incorrect. Should I read the rest of your reply?

@BillyDStarchild @bidensbabe @WalshFreedom I’m assuming you’ve never been a designer, content creator, or any sort of creator. I promise you if a Klan member wanted to purchase a white supremacy design from me, I’d tell him to screw himself, but anything that didn’t offend me I’d consider.

@GEDSeuss Yeah county level. But specifically the Republican Party of the county 😂😂😂😂
FOXNews misreported it as a county award lol
English

@CallItAlready Well it was pointed out already so you’re a little late
I took the info from FOXNews who also left off that it was the GOP award lol
And being the county GOP award makes it funnier and more meaningless :)

@BillyDStarchild But you left off that it was the Oakland County GOP award….speak the truth to something significant and the clicks will come….

@The_Trump_Train “Trump Train” 🤔

@claudiapoindex2 Haha yeah. I remember UWP performing at NFL games

@bucketofloosers It was only given to him by the Republican Party of the county. Don’t get too excited

Boy that’s a 180. Good for them for admitting they made a mistake and are ready to move forward.

Trump proudly accepted Oakland County, Michigan’s “Man Of The Decade” award. Note: Oakland County voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Joe Biden in 2020. 🤷♂️

@BoonHogganbeck @WalshFreedom But if you’re (for arguments sake) atheist, agnostic, or some nonChristian of another faith, try refusing to design a website for a Christian customer based on one of his/her particular views that you disagree with. Good luck not being sued to Hell or Hades.

@BillyDStarchild @WalshFreedom Especially when a ruling from the court may allow web designers to reject car wash customers who "just happen" to be gay. Even though the car wash website makes no mention of it.
It's a slippery slope. Businesses can discriminate and use this rationale even if it isn't valid.

@FoxNews Rich, illiterate, unqualified college applicant and “Dumbest goddamn student ever” cheers court ruling on what he calls a return to “merit-based [can’t come up with the word here].”

@artinfact @KariLakeWarRoom Out of respect for my floor, I think not.
