My staff are mostly Republicans so I have to be careful. I let my apolitical mask drop the day after the 2016 election when i was practically hyperventilating in panic and I'm still working to recover trust. I just snapped about what it would mean for my family - it was a bad day. 😕

I think I'm your mirror image. I just went home early.

._.

How is your family?

We have some Dems who go on about gun control and I've stopped them a few times. It's just best not to talk about it at work.

Agreed.

If only it could be enforced.

Im curios now, have your co-workers expressed their attitudes towards milo?

My family is doing fine. Oregon is pretty good with GLBT acceptance, hence why I live here and won't leave.

But I do worry where things will go now that the judiciary is changing.

That's good.

I don't think it's going to change.

Glad you are doing good

I will be quite curious to see where things land

What I can see, there is no plans to attack Rainbow rights. Rather the plan is to keep them on par with everyone else.

There's actually a rising "we don't care if they'd leave us alone" movement in the churches as I can tell.

So far, to the best of my knowledge, both new supreme court justices have a track record of maintaining to the rule of law as written and intended to the best of their understanding.

By any means, Obergefell would need to be directly challenged to be overturned.

I think it'll become permissible to discriminate and I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing (yes, I'm a traitor to my class for saying this)

It's much harder to challenge a law than to create one.

Compare and contrast that "Special Rights" demand from the CRTL-Left

Yeah, I agree, discrimination is becoming a serious problem in several facets of American life.

Like higher education. Or job hiring.

I'm fascinated to see someone who's sincerely distraught at Trump's election

It sounds like you really think they're out to get you

Actually, I'm talking about it from the right perspective.

What do you mean?

The right to not bake a cake for a GLBT or black person

The right to not hire someone on religious grounds

I see the potential for a lot more individual liberty to discriminate on religious grounds

I'm actually not against it on principle, but the execution may be scary

Those asshats that sued the baker in CO were asshats

Go somewhere else for your cake, nitwits

How's that going to be attacked? Do you really think the supreme court is going to overturn the civil rights act? I haven't heard any serious proposals to even consider something like that.

BUT, what happens if you are the only grocer in town? The owner of the only apartment complex?

The Religious grounds wouldn't fly in court nor would sexual orientation, despite what the CTRL-Left claims, but would they have sued a Muslim Bakery for not wanting to make a custom wedding cake for a same sex couple?

What happens when those people can deny service?

Well, the cake bakers showed there is a right to deny service to GLBT

"I don't serve Jews, get out of my hospital"? Yeah, that wouldn't be great.

So this is law that will be examined over the next 5ish year or longer

@DrYuriMom Yeah, we agree there. When there's only one option and the business won't provide a standard service, there's a potential for trouble.

The Masterpiece decision is extremely narrow, it only really applies to this specific instance.
