Funny that we may not be the nation that the evangelical left, and particularly the corporate medi, wants to say we are. The world is complicated.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Sorry for the barb, but this is unambiguously good news.  Now if I can only stop the EEOC from suing my Mexican-owned business client on behalf of a white guy who claims he was discriminated against because he didn't speak Spanish at a business where virtually every employee, including management, and every customer is a primary Spanish speaker, I will be happy.  Because we certainly have a problem with white, monolingual English speakers facing horrific discrimination in this country.

Well a majority of conservatives on court were against this, but I’ll take my good news anyway I can get it.

It’s absolutely horrible out here. Someone needed to speak up about the atrocities . /s

Also... “the evangelical left”...the what? I can’t say I’ve heard that one before

The ruling was 6-3. Apparently three supreme court justices don’t give a fuck about laws that congress made many years ago.

I guess what’s most important about this news is that you found a way to post about it , shit on liberals, and still make it all about you somehow.

I’d be okay living in the world the “persecuted conservatives” claim they are living in. Socialism keeping the worst aspects of predatory capitalism in check? Social justice and equality for almost everyone (because humans are imperfect, this will always be an impossible, but never unworthy goal to achieve)?

If all this were only to cost telling people we don’t care to hear their shithead opinions, I’m fully on board with it.

Butt...butt...mAh fReEze PeAcHes.

Sigh.

Anyway, not that it means all that much, but as a hetero male I am ecstatic for you that our highest court has finally saw fit to conclude that you are indeed an actual person and have the same rights as me. Took them fucking long enough.

I hope you can find some to celebrate this win.

And I hope my snark at the court doesn’t detract my sincerity at this being wonderful news for you, personally and for the wider community.

This is amazing news!

To be a fair counterpoint to your argument though the Trump administration rolled back protections for Trans people last week...

The Republicans in charge are still mostly the uncaring bigoted folks we all think they are.

Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it.

This, seriously, is one of the most impactful days of my life. I’ve been struggling to hold back tears for the last couple of hours. I came here because I wanted to share how much this means to me. And this is how someone chooses to post about it, pretending that conservatives should get the  credit for it ? CHANGING THE SUBJECT HALFWAY THROUGH THE POST? AYFKM?

I just don’t even feel like talking about it now. I should be used to this by now, but whatever.

Awfully weasely term even for the source who claims to be independent but won’t admit the true sympathies. Now just to find out the reason, either someone’s old gf left them for a liberal activist, someone is trying to protect an unearned inheritance,someone read way too much Ayn Rand during thei r formative years, etc.

Also funny that a conservative court represents “we the nation” when the last election was determined via obsolete 18th century technicality.

Now let’s see them address trans rights and conversion “therapy”, and have the court equality as prescribed by more advanced nations years ago.

Maybe a certain someone is as narcissistic as the man he claims to not support but plays devils advocate for at every opportunity.

how do you define “caring”, and how does that get codified into specificity that the law can handle?

I hesitate to even believe that the media is characterizing things correctly. Just because specific language may change, it doesn’t mean that general application of a reasonable law would be harmful to a minority of people just because they aren’t specifically listed for the sake of emotionalism, aka, “caring.”

People call fractionally reduced rates of budgetary * increase* to be budget CUTS, too... somehow ‘ some’ more money instead of ‘ a bit more’ more money, is somehow considered unacceptable as ‘ less’ money.

Caring is for PEOPLE to do.

The Law needs to be objectively, consistently, and equally applicable to all that is germane.

Identifying subsets and creating exceptions all over the place makes law difficult to interpret, and cumbersome to apply... and usually leads to unintended consequences, rather than the desired outcome.

I’m not an American, so the fact that this is big news is surprising to me. I honestly thought there were anti-discrimination laws in place already, but I guess it was a mish-mash of state-by-state laws as opposed to a grand federal law.

Holy shit, it took your government long enough.

To be honest your response is full of so much jargon I have absolutely no idea what you’re trying to say.

It’s amazing how the one strongly politicized post among a stream of posts about cars draws a lot of attention to itself.

It’s almost like when you post things in a manner that grabs attention you get attention. Shocking!

Great news (I haven’t dug into it) but anything like this is progress for our country. As far as the white ppl suing your clients, sadly seems business as usual. I have been catching myself saying “fucking white people” a lot for someone who is in fact, white. Living in a very whitewashed area certainly does not  help haha

Same. It doesn’t even matter how much I agree or disagree with any given post . It’s always entertaining and sometimes even educational when sources start getting pulled.

Were you expecting the US government to make any sort of decision in anywhere close to a timely manner? Because we don’t do that here

Oh, you meant the other political posts that you didn't agree with (or apparently missed the wording on), but the ones that reflect your beliefs are ok. Got it!

What other posts? Like seriously, this was posted at like 11:30 AM my time. Prior to that I guess you had someone share some videos with no context at around 11, and another repost of John Oliver around 8:30. That’s why I’m saying it’s a political post in a sea of car content. And again, relatively speaking this was a much more “charged” post than simply sharing a video.

I haven’t even expressed my beliefs (except in much later comments) so I don’t see how they’re relevant. Also I’m not mad that the post exists, though I do take issue with the motivations within it (conservative court not bad because ruling, rather than simply talking about the ruling itself). Even then he has every right to make the post, just don’t expect it to be well received on this forum. That’s all.
