Gay Marriage Baked in the Cake
The Supreme Court is considering whether same sex marriage is a constitutional right. Many court experts think it’s already baked in the cake. American tolerance of homosexuality has improved dramatically in a short time. Does the tolerance go both ways?
LGBT activists recently shunned and boycotted a prominent gay couple for hosting Ted Cruz for a discussion about gay marriage and the Middle East. A Christian couple in Oregon lost their bakery when they refused to bake a cake for a same sex wedding. Then a judge fined them $135000. They were kicked off GoFundMe where they were raising funds to pay the fine.
During oral arguments last week Alito asked if churches could lose their tax exempt status if they refuse to perform gay weddings. The government lawyer said it would be “an issue”.
Mothers Day in Baltimore
Nothing is more embarrassing than having your mom smack you upside the head and drag you home in front of your fellow rioters. Toya Graham didn’t want to see her son become another Freddie Gray . Her solution upstaged President Obama who condemned the violence in Baltimore, blamed Republicans, and called for more spending.
Jenner Comes Out
Bruce Jenner came out as a woman to rave reviews. He also came out as a conservative Christian Republican. That didn’t go over as well with his former admirers on the left.
Jenner told Diane Sawyer that, despite his manly body, he’s always had the soul of a woman. He won a gold medal in the men’s decathlon at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. That was the same Olympics where many of the gold medal winning East German swimmers were women with the bodies of men.
An interesting twist but no cartoon.
GM Bailout Airbag
It looks like GM might avoid liability for some lawsuits over it’s ignition switches. The bankruptcy judge ruled the company can’t be sued for anything that happened before the government bailout.
Clinton Talk not Cheap
Actually, for Hillary Clinton talk is cheap compared to Bill. The Washington Post found he earned over $100 million in speaking fees between 2001 and 2013. $26 million of that came from companies that contribute to the Clinton Foundation.
Could Bill really be vice president? Fact Check calls it a “constitutional conundrum”.
