If a baker who belongs to a church that promotes homophobic teachings refuses to make a wedding cake for a same sex couple, they are exercising their protected first amendment right to freedom of religion.

BUT

That same first amendment protection does NOT apply to a church that wants to host an event that expresses their belief in the acceptance of all genders and sexual orientations?

Soooo

In other words, the right to freedom of religion only exists for religious groups that promote antiLGBTQ+ beliefs, according to the assclowns who are raising hell about this event.

I can't even express how angry and disgusted this makes me, or how much I hate, loathe, and despise the people who are giving this church so much needless grief over this.

If I didn't live 1400 miles from Naples, FL, I'd show up with a great big rainbow flag to wave in the faces of the protesters, just to piss them off.
