Michigan Supreme Court Strikes Major Blow to Those Opposed to LGBTQ Agenda Based on Religious Beliefs – Opinion

The essence of far-left is akin to spoiled children. They want more than they can get. They never get what they want. Like spoiled brats, leftists whine their asses off until “mommy” — rational America — caves in and gives them “a little bit more,” hoping against hope to finally give them enough to shut them up. They won’t shut down; there will be no more.

One of the left’s most potent tools through the years has been “legislating from the bench,” by which leftist judges force leftist policies and ideology on America because of the left’s inability to garner sufficient support to pass their radical agendas through state or federal government legislatures.

Here’s an example.

As reported by The Blaze on Friday, the Michigan Supreme Court has declared that a state law prohibiting sex-based discrimination also bans discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The 5-2 decision struck a significant blow to Michiganders opposed to the LGBTQ agenda — and here’s the critical part — including based on religious beliefs.

The case involved Rouch World, LLC, which had declined to host a same-sex wedding, and Uprooted Electrolysis, LLC, which — wait for it — refused to provide hair-removal services to a transgender woman.

Both owners claimed that providing requested services would be against their religious beliefs.

Five out of seven Michigan Supreme Court justices were against it. This is what I want to fix: didn’t give a damn. The majority decision is transcribed in part by The Blaze

At issue for our consideration is whether the prohibition of discrimination ‘because of … sex’ in the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (the ELCRA) … encompasses discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. It does, we believe. Discrimination due to sexual orientation must be considered discrimination because it is sex.

The decision noted that the owners of Rouch World “explained that hosting and participating in a same-sex wedding ceremony would violate their sincerely held religious belief that marriage is a sacred act of worship between one man and one woman.”

In the case of Uprooted Electrolysis, the owner viewed the requested services as centrally connected to Wolfe’s transgender identity and asserted that delivering these services would violate her sincerely held religious belief that sex is an immutable gift from God.”

Again five of the seven justices either disagreed or didn’t give a damn about the religious beliefs of these two faith-based people.

Incidentally, you might recall the never-ending saga of Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Colorado, who — due to his religious beliefs — refused to bake and design a wedding cake to celebrate a gay marriage. Maybe it’s the Indiana case where pizza restaurant owners decided not to cater gay wedding receptions, even though they were in support of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act which was signed by Mike Pence in 2015.

This was back then.

Bottom line:

This is the epitome of radical leftism. Action. When the Supreme Court in 2015 made same-sex marriage the law of the land, it wasn’t “good enough” for the left. The next thing on their agenda was? Rush to Christian churches and demand to be married — faith-based opposition be damned — simply because gays could finally be Legal married.

Then came pizza and cake shops that were faith-based. Did the shop I mentioned above get chosen because of the high quality of the products they sell? No, they were designed to make Christians violate their religious beliefs.

Incidentally, did you ever wonder why, after the SCOTUS ruling, gay couples didn’t rush to Muslim mosques and demand to be married, and attempt to force Muslim bakers to cater their wedding receptions? Me, neither.

Anyway, today we live in Biden’s America, where third-graders are taught that “boys can have periods, too,” men menstruate and nobody on the left who isn’t a biologist seems to be able to define “woman” — until the nanosecond after the U.S. Supreme Court rightfully returned to the states the right to make respective decisions on abortion.

It’s not likely that this will end in your favor.
