TYT: 'Religious Freedom Means The Freedom To Discriminate'



"Christian business owners, not same-sex couples, are the real victims when it comes to LGBT discrimination, according to conservative attorney Austin Nimrocks.

Nimocks serves as senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom. The conservative Christian group is providing legal representation to Jonathan and Elaine Huguenin of Elane Photography. The company was subjected to a complaint with the New Mexico Human Rights Commission after refusing to photograph a same-sex wedding ceremony. Alliance Defending Freedom has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case.

"There are damages — I want to be very clear — there are damages," Nimocks said at the Heritage Foundation's Conservative Policy Summit on Monday."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

While simultaneously insisting that this is a Christian country. "Persecuted majority" seems to me to be as good an example of an oxymoron as one could ask for.
