Michigan Approves America’s First Gay Credit Union Because... Discrimination?


(nope - cuz DOUBLE STANDARDS)

Jack Phillips, the Colorado baker who didn't want to violate his faith by making a cake for a same-sex wedding, is being sued for the third time. The Christian couple in Oregon who operate Sweet Cake by Melissa has also been forced to defend their religious liberty in the courts for refusing to make a cake for a same-sex wedding. While refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding is considered discrimination, creating a financial institution designed solely for LGBT customers apparently is not, at least, according to the state of Michigan. On Monday, The State of Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services approved a charter for an LGBT credit union:


On their website, Superbia Credit Union says it "exists solely to serve and advocate for the LGBTQ community across the country," which suggests only those who are LGBT will be welcomed as customers. However, it also says "anyone in support of the LGBTQ affirming mission is welcomed to join and become a member." Its sign-up page reads, "We seek extraordinary people like you, who believe we deserve to keep the profits of our own efforts," and asks visitors to "Sign up today and be notified by email when Superbia Credit Union will open its doors to the LGBTQ Community!" Regardless of how you interpret their purpose, one thing is clear: if you're a Christian who loves your faith, you are not welcome at Superbia Credit Union, despite its self-righteous claim to be an "inclusive organization."
