Yes. It really is that. It is a question presented in the petition. It is the question on which certiorari was granted. It is the question that will be briefed.

Yes. It really is that. It is a question presented in the petition. It is the question on which certiorari was granted. It is the question that will be briefed. It is the question that will be decided by the court. And it is one of the most important questions facing society right now. You, personally, may be uninterested in that question, as it seems you are. But that is indisputably the question, and it's inappropriate to suggest others are being disingenuous. "Assume good faith." And, for the record, the question of compelled speech is a vital one. Can you be forced to answer detailed questions about race and ethnicity and family structure on the census (I'll note that there hasn't been a prosecution for failure to answer the census since before compelled speech became a hot topic in constitutional law)? Can you be forced to say "one nation under God" or the Pledge of Allegiance at all? Can the government force you to stand and sing along with the national anthem? Can the government force you to write a back door into your software? Can the government force you to denounce a political view you hold, or force you to promote a political view you oppose? Can it force you to talk to a counselor who "isn't an investigator" but will turn over your conversation to law enforcement? I appreciate that you appear to be a strong advocate for people like me. But you can't protect civil rights by trampling on them. Once we start down the path of denigrating individual freedom based on the majority's moral judgment, it's only a matter of time before minorities like us are trampled upon. Widespread acceptance of gay marriage is great, but ensuring individual freedom - like my freedom to date, fall in love, and marry - remains the bedrock of our nation is far far more important.
