Actor Michael Imperioli has something to say about the Supreme Court’s Friday ruling in favor of a Christian web designer who refuses to create websites to celebrate same-sex weddings.

That distinction is horsecrap. A hotel manager can be forced to offer their wedding package for a gay wedding and a chef can be forced to cook for a gay wedding because they run venues that have been declared “nonexpressive” by 6 people who don’t know the first thing about those professions. But a website designer cannot be forced to sell websites while running a website shop.

They don’t believe in that distinction. They’re just taking a step towards outright illegalizing queerness. They’ll tear down that separation as soon as doing so can result in more discrimination.

Nonsense. They legalized gay weddings a handful of years ago. Be queer all you want.

Apparently you can be too queer for this lady to make your website, bit the cake decorator, DJ, caterer, wedding planner, dress designer and everyone else involved aren’t real artists.

The conservative justices declaring which jobs do and don’t show human creativity and expression was not on my Christofascist dystopia bingo card, but probably should’ve been.

You sweet summer child, how can you possibly think Obergefell isn’t going to get challenged and killed by these same anti-queer justices?

Roberts, Scalia, Alito, and Thomas wrote the dissent to it. Gay marriage would still be federally unprotected if they had their way, and they have since netted 2 more allies to their cause to make it happen.
