LGBT isn’t a religion
Being gay isn't a religion, but for the super activist types, the movement totally is taking the place of religion in their lives and imo has become their religion.

LGBT+ isn't a religion, it's a lifestyle choice, and the main reason so many people have a problem with it is because of their own religious beliefs.Why can't we just have kids learning math and language arts?
And I'd argue that by definition, LGBTetc. is a religion. Its just not one based in "gawd".
I hear even post birth abortions.These are same folks that consider the right to kill unborn kids as one of biggest political issues.
Setting the specific LGBT topic aside, it's important to remember that the SC is under no actual obligation to respect any past judgements and can rule however they want on anythingThe day activism should've died.
Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003), is a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court which ruled that sanctions, including any form of criminal punishment to all forms of private, consensual adult sexual activities are Unconstitutional. The Court reaffirmed the concept of a right to privacy that earlier cases had found the U.S. Constitution provides. The 6-3 ruling invalidated the laws of 14 states, and the court based its ruling on the notions of personal autonomy to define one's own relationships and of American traditions of non-interference with any or all forms of private sexual activities between consenting adults.
If not then, when.
Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644 (2015), is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States which ruled that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution. The 5–4 ruling requires all 50 states to perform and recognize the marriages of same-sex couples on the same terms and conditions as the marriages of opposite-sex couples, with all the accompanying rights and responsibilities.
who cares? If Christians are the majority, let them do as they please.They just won’t quit with this bullshit. Bunch of fucking zealots.
Stop endorsing one religion over another, in school or government. It’s not hard.

so you want to screw the majority to accommodate a minority?True, minorities never really mattered anyway.
The minority cares, that’s the obvious answer. And the Constitution cares about protecting their rights.who cares? If Christians are the majority, let them do as they please.
So, the majority is not getting “screwed” here. They can still practice their Judeo-Christian faith, both privately at home, or on school property in clubs and groups after hours—just like everyone else. As far as displays go they could, for example, to do a school display about the history of law in which they display the Ten Commandments along with the Code of Hammurabi, Laws of the Twelve Tables, or whatever. They could even do it in a religious display with the Ten Commandments along with other important texts from other religions.so you want to screw the majority to accommodate a minority?
so the term American taliban is accurate.In which Muslim majority country would you NOT find that?
Well it definitely bothers me.In my grade school days, there was a woman who would come once a month and all us kids would gather in the cafeteria where she told us Bible stories, and we'd have a sing-along of "How Great Thou Art" at the end. I'm sure that sweet old lady would be crucified (heh) in today's world, and that school—which was public—sued into oblivion. I don't remember specifically, but I'm sure there were a few classrooms that had the Ten Commandments as part of the décor. There was one teacher—Mrs. Hensley, RIP—who at the end of the school day every Friday would tell us not to forget to go to church on Sunday. Christmas was always an unabashed celebration of Mary's miraculous womb, with nativity scenes and religious-themed Christmas plays organized by the school. I'm sure there are a bunch of other things I'm not remembering at the moment that would have today's hardcore "separation of church and state" types up seething and running for the nearest lawyer.
Despite the above, I grew up to be a good little atheist, and have fond memories of it all. That kind of thing wasn't unique to our local schools—it was very much a part of our national identity, and it certainly wouldn't bother me if it still was.
You know the nazis had pieces of flair that they made the jews wear.so the term American taliban is accurate.
They’re being honest here- the main purpose is about Pandering to their base so they can keep their cushy jobs and back door money

100%. I am 100% pro gay marriage rights because that's the actual conservative position. People should have the right to marry whoever they want so long as they're both consenting adults. That's the actual conservative position.
Now you have your rights, so be quiet.
If that's what you believe the that's what you believe. I could really care less about this issue if that's what the majority of the people in the state want and I'm not religious but if everyone followed the Ten Commandments this country would be in a better place.True, minorities never really mattered anyway.
