So much ado about the recent Supreme Court’s ruling — they’re calling it a blow to “LGBTQ rights” and say it will have far-reaching impact on minority groups that will chip away at civil rights protections in the US.
I say it’s basic common sense. 🙄
A Christian web designer refused to create websites to celebrate same-sex weddings. The justices ruled in her favor. First, there’s plenty of web designers out there… can’t you just go pick another?
There was a time (pre working with my favorite brother) that I developed corporate websites. I had some decent clients… MTV, Calvin Klein, etc. That drew other potential clients… like this big company that produced and distributed pornography and sex toys. Even though it was a corporate business — and I was in the business of creating corporate websites — I refused to do it. Wasn’t that my right??
When you provide “expressive” services that are customized, you should get to choose who you work for.
If I’m selling cars, or onions, or pickles in a jar, of course, anyone should be allowed to buy those commodities I offer for sale. No way should a business pick and choose their customers based upon anything other than if they can pay.
That’s not the same as being HIRED to provide a customized product or service. It’s my opinion that everyone should get to CHOOSE whom they work for. What does it say about our world when something like this has to be decided by the US Supreme Court??
If people aren’t happy with our constitution, maybe they’d like a constitutional monarchy.
Who should rule… a king or a queen? 😉
