Wow...these people hate anything that doesn't accept their lifestyle...amazing.
It's their bakery shop, right? If they are bible-thumpers who think its a sin, that is their loss.

It's like the left's version of the socialist Germany, if you dare to not follow along with their ideology, they send in the brown shirts. Let's just make the business owners who practice the Catholic religion, the target of all militant gays. Just grab your pitchforks and march on them all with your hate and vengeance.

This is seriously what you get from these examples? These business are doing bad business? Want to give money to anti-gay organizations? Your choice but do so from your personal wealth. Don't use money from the corporation, as one doesn't want consumers to worry about the ethical implications of where there money is going when they could take it elsewhere. Want to make cakes used to celebrate events? Great. Do so without prejudice. Then use your personal monies to donate to organizations that work toward keeping marriage between a man and a woman only.

Jeez, doesn't anyone read Milton Friedman before opening a business?!

No, I'm pointing out that there is more factual evidence to suggest gays should be able to marry and adopt than to suggest they shouldn't, and therefore anyone promoting the idea that they shouldn't be allowed to do either of these things must be doing it out of prejudice/intolerance/hatred because those are the only reasons left.

There is NO WAY that you are. Your way of thinking goes against Friedman completely.

Non-issue.

Business made a decision based upon their beliefs.
People respond to decision based upon their beliefs.

Both are free to do so.

Ah you are correct I am more in line with what Rothbard had to say. Not 100% but I would say at least 90%
