Sorry, but the country is not going back to the intolerance you seek. I know that must be hard for you to accept, but it is the truth.
Sorry, but intolerable behavior will not be tolerated ... and the signs of patience wearing thin are appearing everywhere. You can only expect to push society so far before society pushes back. In a shoving contest, you will lose big time.

So in order to not be "intolerable", homosexuals must tolerate discrimination, lies, and wrongful propaganda?
Sounds like a pretty crappy way to have a country run.

Clue: You do not represent society and your POV is not the majority POV, so any time you ubber conservatives want to try and start shoving, please do, it is past due your form of intolerance if finally dealt with in a permanent way.
Let's use another example ... hypothetically speaking, a gay couple own a printing business ... and some conservative Christians come in and want signs an flyers made up denouncing gay marriage. Should they be forced to print those signs and flyers? Or should they have a right to decline participating in actions that they disagree with? And if they decline, should it be acceptable for the entire community to join together, spurred on by the local TV news, to drive them out of business, under the guise of religious discrimination?
Since you brought it up...
A family member of mine and his partner happen to own a printing business in a southern state. Outside of their family and friends, it is not widely known that they are domestic partners, although they do not try to hide it from the public. They were faced with this situation last year. What did they do? They held their noses, printed the materials, and collected their fee.
I happen to live in the front range. I have never been a customer of this cake shop, but I won't be going out of my way to give them any business. It is what it is.
As stated previously, just because an illegal action is not taken to court doesn't mean that a violation didn't occur.
The law states that businesses cannot discriminate based upon sexual orientation. That is exactly what the baker did and stands by. If the baker is in the business of making wedding cakes (which he is), he cannot refuse said service just because he doesn't like their sexual orientation.
