You DO realie that even in your twisted world your are being persecuted for being INTOLERANT of anything unlike you, got that right? Also to quote a classic, you fucks chose a really poor hill to die on.
What is the point of a “news channel” that simply cuts and pastes Fox News stories?
If you say “to discuss them”, then you don’t know Lady Checkmate very well. If you disagree with her, she makes you disappear. So she has a lot of nerve complaining about “persecution”.
I think what she really wants is a little cluster of yes-men to kvetch over Fox News stories with so they can all be outraged together.
He is not being punished for his BELIEFS. He is being punished for his refusal to acknowledge the legal same sex marriage of another, in other words, he is saying that HIS beliefs trump the OTHER person's beliefs. He isn't being discriminated against. He is being punished because HE was the one doing the discriminating.
Except, Lady Connect Four, let's take a look at what it is you're disagreeing with in the first place, shall we?
Sexually non-normative person: "I should be able to work where I'm best qualified, live where I want, marry the person I love, start a family with or without said person, and generally live my life unobstructed by those who take spiritual or religious umbrage with one or any of those facets of my life."
Lady Spanish Inquisition: "Nooooo! You shall have none of those, and shall enjoy the meager rights, if any, I have declared your worthy of! You may have a small sponge with which to collect drinking water, and every second Tuesday we shall endeavor not to hit your face when we throw stones at you, but anything more than that is forcing your lifestyle on us! Now hurry up and stop existing, because your continuation is making my imaginary friend a bit grumbly!"
So you lot think you're 'Persecuted'? Now you know how it feels to be the targets of bigotry: by the likes of you lot: and with impunity , because that's what the targets of your bigotry have had to suffer for centuries by Christains such as you.
Well, glove's on the other fucking foot now. Can't take it, what made you lot think you had the right to dish it out in the first place?
So the law is 'Persecuting' you by denying you of your 'right' to persecute anyone not exactly like you? Over here in Britain, Race Relations/Sex Discrimination Acts. Section 5 of the Public Order Act. Fundie bakers in Northern Ireland losing their appeal, thus they legally forced to make cakes for those couples who just happen to be of the same gender; their hyper-fundie & ultra-homophobic DUP friends abandoning them for Mammon, in the shape of £1 billion from Theresa May Not. Also, the 2013 Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Act. The DUP = Unionists , and all that jazz. Romans 13:1-5, for good measure.
Political Correctness is good. Political Correctness works . [/Gordon Gekko]
Kim Il-Davis. What's happening to Roy Moore; the Repubicans tearing themselves apart. Your God-Emperor curiously silent on the issue: certainly about him. I refer you to the DUP & those fundie bakers in their neck of the woods. One word: Priorities.
Checkmate, Lady.
How hard is it to sign a piece of paper? Of course anyone knew very well why he didn't, just like Kim Davis, so both deserve to be called on it.
Aren't we just so "persecuted", Gingham. You're no more persecuted than the No voters, who whined vociferously when I called them bigots. That's now a swear word, apparently, but clearly you're a bigot too, Gingham. It originally meant a religious fanatic, from the French, as in "by God".

The way you run your channel, you're a persecutor, never the persecuted.
"I absolutely refuse to recognize your rights, render services, or fulfill my end of a contract because you disgust me" isn't exactly equivalent to "I disagree" Lady. Marriage is not the sole province of Christianity as has been said continuously. And "People have rights which yours do not trump, respect them" is not persecution. Try checkers instead.
"I disagree" is not the same as "I hate you": True
"I treat you as less of a person and deny you rights that others have" however, is rocketing towards "I hate you" like some kind of rocket powered vehicle, maybe a rocket
A little off topic, but it's kind of annoying whenever that "Christians are majority, say they're being oppressed" pie chart shows up. Yes, it's describing something which is true, but also implying something which is false: That majorities can never be oppressed. Think of apartheid, for example. There have also been monarchs or dictators whose rule strongly favored their own ethnic group; occasionally, they were part of a minority.
NEAT! LC's topmost picture actually managed to offend me.
I'm easy to irritate, sure, but fucking near impossible to seriously offend. (I don't stay angry about much; too much effort I could instead spend stuffing my face or getting high.)
If LC allowed opposition on her board, I could post pictures of actual persecution 'til she vomits. I'd do it, too. No doubt. I'd spend days just fucking with her tiny little brain.
Here's just a mild taste [I hate giving warnings, since it's just a chickenshit thing to do, but pNSFW]: Persecution looks like this - like a bleeding, oozing wound in the earth filled with the smell of blood and bowel...filled with small pits of effluvia that could reach most of the way up a man's boots.
The man back and to the right of that trooper was a medical doctor.
Even when pits like that were covered up, it wasn't even close to enough dirt to stop...god knows what...from bubbling to the surface and reeking so bad no other smell could even effect the guards after that (except maybe the prisoners' latrine).
...
Just bake the fucking cake, you stupid assholes.
Yeah
It's pretty obvious now
Lady Checkmate not so much a fundie or even a Christian as much as a political operative.
Question is now: Right wing or Russian totalitarianism?
Other question is: Is there really a difference?
I mean fuck , it's well blurred and kinda blatant at the same time.
"Fulfill your half of the business contract you agreed to, when you signed the legal paperwork affirming that you would follow your region's laws regarding non-discrimination when providing public services" now equals persecution of Christians.
But refuse to serve them, and I guarantee they'd be running for their attorneys in a heartbeat.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
