Also, this is a big blow to lgbt anti discrimination but it also is a blow to a lot of others as well The way this decision is going to backfire and the fact it will be able to applied against not just lgbt people has not been thought through, at all.
Like I said, it will backfire. When people get refused service for MAGA hats or because of being Christian they will throw a fit but they dug the hole for themselves here.
It’s awful and I agree though. It’s disgusting and the cruelty is the point. But the way this is going to be use against them is going to make things so messy and petty.
You’re presuming that the laws will be applied equitably, which is unlikely to be the case.
No, it won’t. Laws are not applied equally in the U.S. This ruling exists purely for regressive states to use as a tool to exclude and victimize anyone not in the white christian republican demographic.
Then SCOTUS will just decide that the law is so convoluted that you can’t discriminate against a Christian or a right winger, but discrimination against a liberal, non-Christian, LGBTQ person, etc is just fine.
They don’t care about looking like they’re setting double standards. They’ll claim it’s a perfectly straightforward rule that respects everyone’s rights even as it creates second class citizens out of entire groups of people.
