Amazon is the most prominent company to use the high court’s June ruling that a Christian web designer was free to refuse to design sites for gay weddings.

Amazon.com’s Whole Foods Market doesn’t want to be forced to let workers wear “Black Lives Matter” masks and is pointing to the recent US Supreme Court ruling permitting a business owner to refuse services to same-sex couples to get federal regulators to back off.

National Labor Relations Board prosecutors have accused the grocer of stifling worker rights by banning staff from wearing BLM masks or pins on the job. The company countered in a filing that its own rights are being violated if it’s forced to allow BLM slogans to be worn with Whole Foods uniforms.

Amazon is the most prominent company to use the high court’s June ruling that a Christian web designer was free to refuse to design sites for gay weddings, saying the case “provides a clear roadmap” to throw out the NLRB’s complaint.

The dispute is one of several in which labor board officials are considering what counts as legally-protected, work-related communication and activism on the job.

      there are US politicians who have literally called for genocide against LGBTQ+ people

      Is made… you reference a person who ISN’T a politician as your source? What office does Michael Knowles hold?

          Nope. Literally the same fucking comments section you met me in. It’s TOTALLY wild that we meet again… unheard of.

          Funny that you didn’t actually respond to the comment… again… Almost like literally anything you say you can’t defend at all.

          Now the REALLY funny thing is that you’ve actually responded to @freeindv@monyet.cc several times too! So if I’m “stalking” you… then you’re stalking them. You can literally fuck off with your dumb bullshit somewhere else.
