US Supreme Court Defends Dissent and Struck Down Compelled Speech

Below are key points in the reference.

In 2021 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit … recognized that "Colorado's 'very purpose' in seeking to apply its law to Ms. Smith" was to stamp out dissenting ideas about marriage. [ Despite this admission ] the 10th Circuit held that the state government was within its authority to compel her to create such websites against her will.

The majority did decide Smith's case by appealing to free-expression precedents rather than religious-liberty ones. In other words, the justices didn't say that the faith-based nature of Smith's beliefs about marriage entitled her to an exemption. Presumably, a secular person with moral or factual objections to expressing a particular message would receive all the same protections as a Christian or Muslim objecting on religious grounds. As it should be.

First, I celebrate the Supreme Court's crushing Colorado state law that was designed to stamp out dissenting ideas about marriage. Secondly, I want to celebrate the Supreme Court's nuanced ruling stood against government law designed to stamp out expressing views that run counter to a particular message.

Extrapolating further than the scope of the Supreme Court decision, it gives us the phrases to articulate what is wrong, and what to make happen.

Here is the demand: Pride messaging in the form of anything from large city parades to K-12 school events to corporate employee events cannot have one molecule of coercion or compelled participation.

Demanding a uniform message for a city, for a school, for a company or any other social forum on issues of sexual preference or gender identity is a totalitarian demand. The demand of "love and acceptance" is Orwellian 1984 doublespeak with hate and unacceptance for anyone that doesn't comply. Our rights and freedoms come from laws. The LGBTQ community have all those rights in the US. Demanding "love and acceptance" is a hateful brownshirt march through the streets to find anyone who personally considers non-heterosexuals perverts.

People considering those who are gay or cross-dressers to be perverts is something the Pride Flag agenda very much wants to entirely forever sweep away.

So if you are heterosexual, and have the opinion, a great service you could provide to the maintenance of freedom in your society is to occasionally say people who are gay or cross-dressers are perverts.
