No harm for homophobe says Supremes

Supreme Court declines anti-gay student case

(Washington) The Supreme Court said Monday that it would not take the case of a Kentucky high school student who wants to sue his school district over a policy that allegedly barred him from expressing opposition to homosexuality.

The justices did not comment in denying the appeal of Timothy Morrison, who alleges he was harmed by the policy of the Boyd County Board of Education.

The federal appeals court in Cincinnati ruled last year that Morrison failed to show how he was harmed by the policy and tossed out the lawsuit.

Morrison, a senior at Boyd County High School, sued the Boyd County school district over a policy that required students to undergo anti-harassment training. He claimed the policy threatened him with punishment for expressing religious beliefs in opposition to homosexuality. Morrison is a professed Christian who believes his religion requires him to speak out against what he sees as behavior that doesn’t comport with his understanding of Christian morality.</em>

Key phrases….”who believes his religion…”. Well, nobody really cares what you “believe”- any more so than we care what anyone else believes. Just as long as it doesn’t cause harm to others, everyone in the world is allowed to believe whatever gibberish they want. That’s what our country was founded upon. And “doesn’t comport with his understanding of Christan morality”? Show me where hating gays is in the Bible, or in the Constitution where it states that any morality- Christian, Islamic or FSM- is the law of the land, and perhaps we’ll care about your so called “morality”.
