Conservatives warn that today’s ruling will not merely protect homosexual or gender-confused Americans from tangible harm. Rather, it will require churches to recognize same-sex “marriages”; force photographers, florists, and bakers to participate in same-sex “weddings”; compel employers to fund drugs and surgeries to help people imitate members of the opposite sex; and make women and girls to share sleeping quarters, showers, changing areas, and restrooms with gender-confused males (or men simply claiming trans status to get close to vulnerable women).

This is a lie – it’s as ignorant as it is ridiculous and wrong.

That the reprehensible right resorts to demagoguery and fearmongering comes as no surprise.

Of course included in that is these trans men/women getting to compete in women's sports.

And that has what EXACTLY to do with this topic?

Everything. If you think it doesn't then you don't know about the slippery slope.

Supreme Court Says LGBTQ Employees Are Protected By Civil Rights Employment Statutes

While Title VII bars discrimination on the basis of “race, color, national origin, sex, and religion,” the original bill didn’t define “sex” as a term.

Supreme Court Says LGBTQ Employees Are Protected By Civil Rights Employment Statutes

The Supreme Court ruled that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects LGBTQ employees from being discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

It warms my heart ton know that Trump is having apoplexy right now. Not only did his administration fight against this, but also, his own appointee wrote the opinion for the majority

It was a 6-3 ruling, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Neil Gorsuch joining the four liberal justices in the majority.

Writing for the majority, Gorsuch argued that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity is fundamentally no different than discrimination based on sex.
“An individual’s homosexuality or transgender status is not relevant to employment decisions,” Gorsuch wrote. “That’s because it is impossible to discriminate against a person for being homosexual or transgender without discriminating against that individual based on sex.”

Again, should a Catholic school be forced to hire a gay person to teach?

Yes, but they won't be forced. Catholic schools that brain wash kids should not exist

What a anti-Catholic bigot you are.

Update:
The religious right is seriously flipping out over the Supreme Court ruling in favor of LGBTQ rights

E.W. Jackson
Far-right extremist E.W. Jackson was the GOP candidate for Lt. Governor in Virginia and his Facebook post about the ruling is completely unhinged. Describing the judges as “degenerate leftists,” he said they “are engineering sweeping social depravity and confusion through judicial tyranny.”

Tony Perkins
Tony Perkins, head of the anti-LGBTQ hate group Family Research Council is well acquainted with mixing religion and discrimination. A former Louisianna state legislator, Perkins purchased his campaign mailing list from former KKK leader David Duke and gave a speech at least one white nationalist meeting.

James Dobson
James Dobson, founder of the anti-LGBTQ hate group Focus on the Family, breathlessly declared the decision ” an affront against God” and “a historical attack against the founding framework that governs our nation.”

Franklin Graham
The evangelical leader Franklin Graham claimed the right to fire LGBTQ people is a “freedom our nation was founded on.”

“As a Bible-believing follower of Jesus Christ, my rights should be protected,” the far-right Trump supporter posted on Facebook, adding that if his actions were motivated by his religious beliefs, “I still have a right to hold them.”

Good fucking God! What is wrong with these people
