Supreme
Court of the United States
1 First Street, NE
Washington, DC 20543

The
Honorable Chief Justice John G. Roberts
On the
brink of a Supreme Court decision on the question of gay rights; permit me to
weigh in on the issue.
Am I no
longer free to act on my beliefs?
My exposition is not about right or wrong. It is not about moral or immoral. It is not about good or bad neither is it to accept or reject. It is not about who you love or hate.
My exposition is not about right or wrong. It is not about moral or immoral. It is not about good or bad neither is it to accept or reject. It is not about who you love or hate.
What I am
concerned with is ‘Freedom.’
Am I no
longer free to act on my beliefs?
The
homosexual community has been free and has always been free to act on their
beliefs. What they are asking is that I must accept their beliefs by law and at
the same time suppress my beliefs by law. When personal religious values and
beliefs are in play, where does the freedom to practice one’s religion end and
equal treatment under the law begin?
Am I no
longer free to act on my beliefs?
What the
Homosexual community does behind closed doors does not impact society.
Therefore society neither has to accept or reject what they do. They are free
to act on their beliefs.
However,
what heterosexual couples do behind closed doors impacts society on all levels.
Whole industries are built around what heterosexuals do behind closed doors.
From the morning after and for eighteen years per event society and the
economy is impacted by what heterosexuals do behind their closed doors.
Hospitals
and medical centers public and private are built taking into account what
heterosexuals do behind their doors.
The
pharmaceutical industry takes into account what heterosexuals do behind their
doors and act as it impact their industries.
The
transportation industry plans accommodations for what heterosexuals do behind
their doors.
The
garment industries have created whole industries that react to the impact of
what heterosexuals do behind their doors.
Daycare
centers public and private are built to absorb the shock of what heterosexuals
do behind their doors.
Preschools
and schools public and private are built to accommodate what heterosexuals do
behind their doors.
Budget
and the economy are planned taking into account the average rate of what
heterosexuals are doing behind their doors.
These and
many, many more industries are impacted by the activities of what heterosexuals
do behind their doors.
From the
morning after, a heterosexual couple ceases to think of themselves only and
become mindful of the perpetuation and the preservation of this society and human
race.
The same
is not true for a homosexual couple. Their activities do not create or
significantly support industries, it does not perpetuate and preserve this
society or the human race. While they have the right to act on their belief and
to love who they please it should not be imposed by law on society as their
activities do not impact society.
While the
foregoing is true; what is at stake here is freedom. Am I no longer free to act
on my beliefs in order for the homosexual community to act on theirs? Am I free
to say, I am sorry I cannot serve you due to my religious beliefs? Can the
Homosexual community walk into an institution or establishment which they have
no association with and say I want you to do XYZ for me on the penalty of the
law? Am I no longer free to act on my beliefs?
For the court to
act on the homosexual case before it, even as a civil matter, the court will
inadvertently create religious policies. The homosexual community would be able
to target and challenge any religious group who disagrees with their behavior
and force them under the law even as a civil matter to do their biddings.
The issue at
hand is not about right or wrong. It is not about moral or immoral. It is not
about good or bad, neither is it to accept or reject. It is not about who you
love or hate but rather about freedom. Am I no longer free to act on my
beliefs? Would the court be right in setting a precedent in creating religious
policies?
I thank
you for taking your precious time to reading this humble letter and committing
the idea to thought. Again thanks for your time.
Sincerely
