If you want to know who hates whom, just listen to what they say. Here are some tweets on 303 Creative from some "tolerant and inclusive" law profs:
1. U Michigan Law Prof Barb McQuade: “I have a religious objection to bigots. Can I now deny them services, too?”
2. Prof. Josh Chafetz, Georgetown Law: “6-3 religious bigotry trumps anti-discrimination law.”
3. Also Chafetz: “The law at issue prohibited any business from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. It didn't target religious belief in any way. The Court just said that religiously-motivated bigots get a get-out-of-antidiscrimination-law-free card.”
4. Prof. Eric Segall, Georgia State Law School:“Whatever the constitutional merits of today’s 303 Creative decision, make no mistake, discrimination and hate based on faith is still discrimination and hate. The plaintiff should be ashamed. And there’s nothing “Christian” about this.”
5. Prof. Laurence Tribe of Harvard Law: “This anti-LGBTQ decision will one day be relegated to the dustbin of history, denounced as wrong from the day it was decided (as Lawrence v. Texas said of Bowers v. Hardwick), and recognized as a demeaning slur on the equal dignity of our fellow citizens.
On Twitter, these law profs say the quiet part out loud.
This is not what they say when they are teaching 303 Creative in the classroom.
But it is what they are thinking when they teach 303 Creative in the classroom!
Imagine being a Christian law student taking their classes!
Notice that Lori Smith did not say--or wish to say--anything hateful about same-sex customers. She wished merely to remain silent--to not speak. She wished to celebrate marriage as defined by God, and to remain silent about same-sex marriage.
