Despite the fact that today’s Supreme Court Hobby Lobby ruling was narrow and suggested discrimination is not a religious right, anti-gay activists are licking their chops in anticipation of a “slippery slope.”
The religious right never saw a law they didn’t want to use to bludgeon LGBT people. Just think of some of the first laws — the Bible.Â

What Every LGBT Person Needs To Know About The Hobby Lobby Supreme Court Decision
Today, anti-gay religious right activists were cheering the Hobby Lobby ruling — clearly, having not read it —  and wondering how they can use what Justice Ginsburg called an “extreme” and “extraordinary” ruling that might give the anti-gay right the tool it needs to cement second-class status for LGBT people.
Here’s a sampling:Â
LGBT Left has been winning in the courts, but now we have hope that SCOTUS will honor small biz conscience exemptions on homosexuality #tcot

If I had #atheist or #gay employees #SCOTUS #HobbyLobby ruling allows me to fire them ALL & I would,because it violates my religious rights.

The very anti-gay head of the Heritage Foundation sees possibilities:
Obama administration must recognize that every American has a right to live and work abiding by the convictions of their faith. #HobbyLobby

Meanwhile, Matt Barber embarrasses himself about how little he know about women:
“Countless lesbian…women as well as some transgender men rely on contraception” ~ @HRC <– Leftist “logic” on parade #life #lgbt #tcot
— Matt Barber (@jmattbarber) June 30, 2014
And LaBarbera continues his trolling:
Cowardly #Republicans are caving on resisting the homosexual activist agenda faster than Obama can write unconstitutional Exec. Orders #tcot
