Media decry the First Amendment as a ‘setback’ for LGBT people

As gay and transgender activists continue to strengthen their vice grip on liberals, establishment media outlets are now cementing their view that violating the rights of religious people is an LGBT right.
In 303 Creative v. Elenis, the Supreme Court ruled, “The First Amendment prohibits Colorado from forcing the website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees.” In the case in question, a Christian website designer argued that being forced to design a website for a same-sex wedding in violation of her religious belief would be government-compelled speech. The Supreme Court wisely agreed.

Establishment media is very upset about this, though, because they think religious people should not have the right to stand against the LGBT mafia. Gay and transgender activists have demanded total compliance on any and all demands they make, and establishment media have made it their goal to pursue that compliance. Therefore, they determine that not being able to force religious people to violate their religious beliefs is a “setback” for LGBT rights.
That is how the Associated Press described the ruling, more specifically saying that it is a “setback for LGBTQ+ rights” and “a defeat for gay rights.” People Magazine wrote that the Supreme Court “closes out Pride Month with major blow to LGBTQ+ rights, opening door for broader discrimination.” People having the right to run a business without the government forcing them to violate their beliefs is “discrimination,” according to People.
CNN claimed that the Supreme Court’s ruling “limits LGBTQ protections,” because, apparently, the “+” part of the never-ending acronym isn’t important to CNN as it is to People and the AP. Meanwhile, CBS News falsely claimed that the web designer in question “said her religious beliefs prevent her from taking on same-sex couples as clients.”

That is the claim that all these outlets want viewers to believe, but it is not true. The website designer in question would serve a same-sex couple, just not with the creation of a website for a same-sex wedding. Just as Jack Phillips, the Colorado baker who LGBT activists have tried to ruin the life of, would serve cakes to same-sex couples, just not a custom same-sex wedding cake. Citing their religious beliefs, Phillips and web designer Lorie Smith do not want to partake in a same-sex wedding. That is all they are asking for.
That is too much, though, for gay and transgender activists and their media enforcers. They do not think you should have any religious or free speech rights to refuse to take part in a same-sex wedding or any other demand that activists impose on you. They demand total compliance with the agenda of gay and transgender activists, because anything less is “limiting” the rights of those activists to bend society to their whims.
