    We are thinking of doing the same thing, and we live by the river (LC reference, but true).

    But everywhere I have been in Florida, there is a lot of "look at me"

    My wife and I are so low key no one hardly except family and close friends know we exist.

    Prefer it that way.

    Shirley you cannot be serious.



    In b4 Tilly let’s us know this guy isn’t a “real” Christian, because a real Christian would never behave like this.

    Man, that is inaccurate in perhaps half the cases! Many CINO'S trumpet their "beliefs" ...... and hypocrisy.

    SCOTUS: Protected class status can only be used to harm class members not to benefit them.

    I’m 70 years old and I’ve never seen anything like that in person.

    Have you? And where?

    Remember back when homosexuals assured us all they wanted was to be left alone and the right to be regarded as married ?

    Liars.

    Actually if the message or event that the Christian is seeking violates the beliefs of the Jewish or Middle Easter person I would hope the constitution would give them the same protection.

    Your speaking into a black hole. Its not gonna be heard

    Thats been the point all along.

    CONTENT should be something a designer can deny, persons should not be. ANY person demanding CONTENT that violates a persons religious faith (Muslim, Jew, Christian etc) is forcing speech and preventing free exercise of religion.

    This is applicable as it deals w/ free speech: Michigan House passes bill making wrong pronouns a felony, fineable up to $10,000

    No one should be ridiculed, intimidated nor threatened…really for any reason. This law doesn’t say “you MUST use someone’s preferred pronouns” (as the law in Canada that made Jordan Peterson famous). It does say you cannot mess with the pronouns to intimidate, cause harm and try to hurt someone else.

    The law that needs to be passed: “Don’t be an asshole.” (I think that’s the 6th commandment, but I’m a bit rusty on my scripture).
    Judge it by a jury of your peers - asshole or no asshole? Hmmm… I think i just created a great reality show!!

    This was a genuinely tough case. What concerns me is people are saying there is no limiting principle in the decision. That's a huge problem, if true. I am of the opinion that they're right in ruling in favor of this woman, but they should have done so narrowly.
