When has religion shown tolerance for me?

I, for one, am quite satisfied with the publicity this bigoted baker got. The gays didn't destroy his livelihood...he did that all by himself, by refusing to obey the laws of the land, and refusing to provide service to people he doesn't like.

Baking cakes has nothing to do with his religion. Why do right-wing bigots keep making arguments they know are wrong?

Fatal error.

The LGBT community is not asking for special rights. They are ENTITLED to equal rights as enshrined by the Constitution. Baker guy doesn't get to break the law because he thinks he's special. Baker guy is allowed to go to the church of his choice. He's allowed to have whatever beliefs he wants. He's not allowed to make his own rules within the laws.

Nobody was forcing him to attend a Pride Parade at gunpoint. Baking cakes is his business. If he chooses to not bake for people he deems unfit, his business won't last long. And it didn't.
Good.

Just goes to show you; just lie in these situations. "Sorry, all booked up." End of story.

If he only wants to bake for the God-fearing, he should have stuck to bake sales at his church.

That might be a bit rash. Sounds like he may have a future in the pet specialty food market.

Of course, if he's only going to bake for German Shepherds or Alaskan Huskies we're right back at square one.

You would obviously love to able to shut down everybody else that disagrees with you as well. So much for tolerance.
