How is this NOT in violation if the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment if government and secular organizations are free to apply discrimination but not the public?

Individually they may be their biological children... But there had to be another "donor" who is a biological father, no matter how butch one or the other may be...

It still takes a man and woman...

Can the Catholic Church be sued for refusing to marry a gay couple?

Senate Bill Language:
quote:

SEC. 6. NO IMPACT ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND CONSCIENCE.

(a) In General.—Nothing in this Act, or any amendment made by this Act, shall be construed to diminish or abrogate a religious liberty or conscience protection otherwise available to an individual or organization under the Constitution of the United States or Federal law.

(b) Goods Or Services.—Consistent with the First Amendment to the Constitution, nonprofit religious organizations, including churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, nondenominational ministries, interdenominational and ecumenical organizations, mission organizations, faith-based social agencies, religious educational institutions, and nonprofit entities whose principal purpose is the study, practice, or advancement of religion, and any employee of such an organization, shall not be required to provide services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage. Any refusal under this subsection to provide such services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges shall not create any civil claim or cause of action.

If (a big 'if') this language survives the House, it seems fairly solid with regard to churches.

Moving the goal post. They are still raising their biological children in a gay marriage.

That is obvious in the operative language itself, which I quoted.
Reading is fundamental.

Your quoted segment of the law pertains to Officials acting under color of State law. This is to prevent the state officials from denying another state's acceptance of a marriage.

It does not protect individual religious liberty and conscience as you are saying it does.

Try to tell a hetero step-parent who has raised a child from birth … that (s)he has no “family bond” with the child.

Where do we send the flowers for your funeral?

No, it is not. That is the same thing as saying a step-dad is the biological father of a child he had no part in creating... He may be a great dad to the kid but he will never be the kid's biological father...

Not moving the goalposts at all. It'd be no different than a step parent saying they are raising their biological kid when they didn't actually supply any biology to the equation. The kid is one of theirs biologically but it's not possible for two lesbians to scissor out a baby. Gotta have someone with testicles at some point in this story.

It's not. Redefining language can be done legally, but can also be undone, since as the left keeps demonstrating, language is a social construct and words are meaningless.

I never said there was no bond. I said the kid wasn't biologically theirs which is scientifically true.






ETA: I noticed you added a quote from someone else's post to try to prove your point that I said something I didn't say. For a guy who constantly tries to present himself as some sort of intellectual, you swung and missed on this one.

Your attempt at statutory interpretation is laughably wrong.

What an incredible cultural decline in 26 years. And it’s only accelerating.



Why I will forever loathe GWBush. He ran on the marriage amendment and he failed to get it done. Then we learn that he felt bad for Cheney's lesbo daughter. Now we are seeing the slide down the slippery slope.

It started before all of this but it has certainly accelerated things where many people started to notice...

Agreed. The worst part is he'll try to come in with some word salad that he thinks make his points seem more intellectually sound than they truly are.
