(commenting on story "Farmer Files Suit After Being Banned from Selling at Market for Disallowing 'Gay Weddings' (sic) on Property"):

Oboehner:
Sexual perversion is not a constitutionally protected right, if that perversion affects others practicing their constitutionally protected right to practice their religion it not the religious person's duty to accommodate them. Remember, the lesbo's approached the farmer, not the other way around.

Colin Rafferty:
Wrong. See Lawrence v. Texas. That's the deciding law about "sexual perversion". Anyway, a wedding is not about sex. You must be thinking of the honeymoon. The discrimination is about the gender of the participants. Which in East Lansing is protected.

Oboehner:
"See Lawrence v. Texas"
See Article 1, Section 1 of the Constitution which states ALL legislative powers rest in Congress.
The refusal was about a lifestyle CHOICE that contradicts the religious belief of the farmer.

Colin Rafferty:
Are you seriously using that canard about the Supreme Court doesn't actually have the power it has always had, and always been recognized to have had? Get a grip.
Just as the rationale behind the business's actions are unimportant, so is the reason why they wanted to get married. They were discriminated against because of their gender. That is against the law in East Lansing.

Oboehner:
Are you seriously using that canard about the Supreme Court having the ability to legislate despite NO ONE actually able to back that up other than some asinine tradition? Get a grip.
"They were discriminated against because of their gender." That's a big old steamy pile of BS, that should be against the law in East Lancing.

Colin Rafferty:
That's exactly why they were discriminated against. If one of them was male, they would have had their wedding there. They didn't because they were both women.
Why do you find this so hard to understand?

Oboehner:
There's another big old steamy pile. If they had gone there for any other purpose than an activity the hosts did not believe in, they would have been gladly served - both females.

Colin Rafferty:
That doesn't change the fact that they were discriminated against because of their gender.

Oboehner:
Still steamy, still a big pile. A "wedding" is an activity, the farmer stated her served deviants - he did not want to host the ACTIVITY.

Colin Rafferty:
But he already hosts weddings. If he didn't want to host weddings, he shouldn't advertise for them.

Oboehner:
Just practicing his constitutionally protected right.
