        @WVSupremeCtofA In 2013 the Supreme Court Supreme Court Declared Gays a Protected Class. What in that ruling are you unable to understand?

        They are ruling based on WV law on books. If there be decent folk in that state, it could be appealed higher. Just embarrassing. @LGBTfdn

        TBC, they interpret WV's hate crimes law, not the US Constitution. Ruling may be helpful long haul - WV close to passing LGBT protection

        Does this mean hating gays isn't really hating? Hurting gays doesn't really hurt? I am ashamed to live in this state with this court! Shame

        Nobody's rights are safe unless all persons & rights are protected. Singling out one group as undeserving sets a dangerous precedent.

        It isn't the Court's place to reinterpret statute that legislative bodies have declined to modify. This is basic separation of powers stuff.

        The purpose of courts is to interpret and impose judgements based on existing law. It isn't to serve as quasi-legislators based on feels.

        If you don't like that loophole in WV law, then your remedy is clear: the legislative body.

        How much easier to simply retire to the fainting couch and dismiss WV as backward imbreds without an ounce of compassion for non-straights.

        How hard would it be to pass legislation in WV that extended hate crime application to non-straights? Better to retain the outrage?

        Do we want to solve problems, or simply use them as weapons to beat the other side of the aisle with?
