I see the ACLU calling this a victory, of sorts.  Back in March I attended a workshop put on by the ACLU looking at all these issues.  They did not expect the SCOTUS to issue a definitive ruling -- and that is sure the way things worked out.  I get updates from Equality PA about LGBTQ civil rights issues and they feel this was not as bad as it could have been BUT there is really a lot of work that needs to be done to actually secure our rights.

At least the Court did not set aside the underlying Colorado law.

Yesterday was still a lousy day for me.

No, it is a far cry from definitive, I actually get the impression that had the State of Colorado applied the law fairly and equally to every case before them the ruling would have been very different in a positive way.

The problem I see already, the far right see this as a victory and a license to discriminate as long as they claim religious beliefs despite every statement to the contrary; not that biggotry ever needs a real excuse.

Answers are easy. It's asking the right questions which is hard.

Be positive in the fact that there is always one person in a worse situation then you.
