The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that a web designer can refuse to create websites for same-sex weddings on religious grounds. The case involved a Colorado web designer named Lorie Smith, who refused to create a website for a same-sex couple’s wedding. The couple filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, alleging that Smith’s refusal violated their civil rights.

    Affirmative action would have qualified as a step forward, but that’s gone now. Abortion, but that’s permanently on the ropes and I’ll die of shock if it doesn’t disappear, especially with the working class refusing to have children when they can barely feed themselves.

    I do still retain the legal option to own and withdraw from my own bank account without a man’s written or spoken permission, the lack of which trapped my grandmother in a horrifically abusive relationship, so that’s pretty sweet. We came damn close to having healthcare for a minute there, before anyone noticed.

    We’re ethically doing a tango.
