Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know this isn't the first dumb court ruling in American history. But this is a HORRIBLE precedent with "slippery slope" written all over it.

I actually saw this posted at another forum while browsing the internet, and way too many people were all giddy about it. I'm sure they'd be singing a different tune if some whiny Christian sued the organizers of a gay pride parade for emotional distress and won $11 million.

As someone who actually cares about individual rights (even when I disagree with the individual), this scares the shit out of me.
