Jim Obergefell, the man whose name will be forever associated with the institution of genderless marriage in the United States, said he “was heartbroken and devastated,” by the Supreme Court’s Masterpiece Cakeshop decision. 

But more than that, Obergefell is frightened.  Very frightened.

It’s not the actuality of the ruling that scares him; it’s the boogeymen he has concocted in order to shoo away any second guessing about the high court’s judgement in his favor three years ago. 

“After deciding in favor of marriage equality in Obergefell v. Hodges,” asked Obergefell in a commentary written for The Advocate, “how could Justices Kennedy, Kagan, and Breyer rule in favor of legalized discrimination under the guise of religious freedom?”

Obergefell’s reaction to the ruling then launches into ever-increasing hyperbole. 

He says this signals the beginning of the legalization of discrimination.  More specifically, this discrimination will be Christian fundamentalists lording it over gays:   

We have a movement to make public discrimination based on one’s personal beliefs legal. These laws attempt to make one person’s beliefs more valuable, more worthy of protection, than another’s.

It gets worse.  Obergefell sees Jack Phillips Masterpiece Cakeshop as the underground headquarters for a movement to do away with the principle of separation of church and state, and the establishment of a new state religion

Religion is being weaponized against gays

It's fascinating that these perverted Leftists are not brave enough to go up and make these claims against Islam.

It's not that Homosexuals are yellow, it's that they are pink on the outside and red on the inside.

The only horrifying thing to American Leftists in that picture is the cigarette advertisement on the billboard in the background.

That's fine with me.
Hopefully, the "weaponization" will intensify.

Seems like the last time "religion" got "weaponized", it actually did some good:


Let's try that again, only this time, against the LGBT (or whatever).

Strange, picking a Christian cake decorator and making a row when he won't bake a cake for what he regards not as a wedding, but a celebration of immorality, then suing, rather than just going down the street to a secular baker, looks to me a lot like the weaponization of same-sex 'marriage' against religion (or rather against Christianity -- they don't pull this stunt with Muslim or Jewish bakers, photographers, B-and-B owners or wedding planners -- just Christians).
