Oh. Duh. I'ma let that stand. That's NPR. I was thinking the name of the website was ohhellno.com
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And when you tell the world to fuck off and bite you (sequence not mandatory), then what happens?
My black heart smiles.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
What's expressive association?
A first amendment right that the Court upheld in the Boy Scouts case. Who you associate with can be an expressive act that should not be unduly burdened by the government.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does that mean my company can fire me because of my religion too? Where are the boundaries drawn?

I thought our Constitution had "freedom of religion." Did something happen to our Constitution while I was asleep?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And not recieving federal funding qualifies as an undue burden?

I don't know First Amendment all that well, so there's only so well I can parse this. My impression is that no, your organization does not use its membership "expressively", whereas the Scouts do.

I haven't read the case. All I know is the NPR para, so I assumed the burden would be not being able to discriminate in hiring on the basis of religion.

Interesting. I wonder if some of the touchy feeling corps that blossomed in the 90s that give their employees twee designations are being expressive, or if when it comes down to the paperwork it's just a semantic dance.
I didn't think of Sally Ann as expressive in that way, but I do know precious little about them.
