"Marriage is a Right"? I don't think so.

Hence why I want the Government out of Marriage entirely, it would kill this whole issue and everyone would get what they want.
Oh, please. Banging the hired help was acceptable in the bible, so spare me. Maybe that's why Schwarzenegger did what he did. He was acting Godly.

In any case, a guy who brags about banging only strippers and hookers is complaining about who other people bang.
Love it.
I told you before. I don't pay them to come, I pay them to leave. it's not bragging. also, I never complained about the McDLT's banging. I made fun of their desire for state validation. it's pathetic.

And this particular story really pi$$es me off, actually.

bullied into this agenda?

To Hell with that.

Other things that are strictly forbidden in the bible: tatoos, pork, shaving, going to church after an Orchiectomy, remarrying after divorce, working on the sabboth, women speaking in church, shrimp, etc.....

If you were denied any rights, I am sure you would be claiming it is un-American and it would be on your "care list". It is always different to some people when it is someone else being denied. Then it is suddenly not important. The couple was being treaded on when they were denied the product from a business that is supposed to obey non-discrimination laws. You have it backwards IMO.

Bakeries don't dispense rights. I completely agree that gay couples should be pissed that they can not access the same kinds of things from the government that straight couples can.

Interactions between people shouldn't be the business of the governments. This is what we get when it is.

You have it backwards. Our government is protecting us from the effects of religion and its destructive beliefs. Your example is religion taking over and mandating their destructive beliefs.

If he wants to close the shop at 3 pm every day for prayer & family time that's his right.

Colorado government can ssip off. They're becoming worst than other nanny states like California & New York out there.
Another reason Colorado really turns me off.
I hope this guy takes his business elsewhere-
I'd be a loyal lifelong client
I love people who actually stand for something.

it is an extremely unimportant issue. issues that concern me are financial security for my fellow man. liberals don't like that too much.

The government is doing the same thing. Government is some people's religion. It is the government acting just like those enforcing their views elsewhere.
