"Gay is not the new black and Jason Collins is not the new Jackie Robinson." Judging by the last 48 hours of news, millions of Americans very clearly disagree. I can understand how horribly upsetting that must be.

Eye roll. As I clearly stated about, my site gets thousands of comments daily and many are made by our enemies. You always make the same tired, groundless claims. Shall I repost the open calls for violence against LGBT people that can be found EVERY DAY in the countless thousands on sites like Free Republic, Breitbart, etc etc etc? Every day, as in right this minute, they can be found. And those are not deleted.

Perhaps Ben Shaprio is unaware that the most prominent and powerful Christian activism group, the Family Research Council, has openly called for the recriminalization of homosexuality in America. If that's not "nasty and homophobic," what is?

Since you are so familiar with my site, you doubtlessly know that it gets about half a million comments a year, a (thankfully) few of which are planted by the enemies of equality in order to take triumphant screenshots for use on anti-gay sites. Such was the case as the comment you cited above, which was deleted that same day after the IP was traced back to...wait for it...Colorado Springs, home of several major anti-gay organizations. But you knew that.

Actually a long-existing law was merely amended to include gay people. Already banned was business discrimination on the basis of race, gender, religion, disability, national origin, disability or handicap, immigration status, pregnancy, and military service/veteran status.

You raise a good point and I imagine that's part of why there have only been two or three such suits even though the law exists in 21 states. In the Washington case, however, the business owner herself has made it clear that sexual orientation was the basis of her refusal. Even though it's been almost 50 years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act, many businesses did and continue to find ways to refuse minority customers without explicitly violating that federal law.

This lawsuit is based on Washington's long-existing state statute which outlaws the refusal of services on the basis of sexual orientation. Therefore it is legally unrelated to gay marriage. The word "marriage" does not even appear in the AG's lawsuit. Twenty other states have the same statute. If you want to fire, refuse to hire, or refuse services to gay people, that remains perfectly legal in 29 other states. Matt Barber knows this, but telling the truth doesn't get blog hits.

Same-sex marriage is legal in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, and Uruguay. New Zealand will finalize their same-sex marriage bill tomorrow. France will finalize their same-sex marriage bill on April 23rd. Ireland's Constitutional Convention just yesterday decided to put the issue to a national vote and since the most recent poll shows that 75% of the public backs the issue, it's virtually a done deal there and gay weddings are expected to begin by mid-summer. England, Wales, and Scotland should follow shortly after. The issue is utterly won and furious impotent sputtering, while amusing, is just a waste of energy at this point.

There's that totally not racist Christian Love™ we keep reading about.
