(Well, basically anyone of a religious majority in any location does the same. It's an outgrowth of social control).
So that means it is ok for gays to bully and demand everyone bow down to their every demands? Most Christians just want to be left alone.

But when you're a Christian storekeeper open for business, you don't know what kind of characters may walk in wanting service and not giving a damn about the storekeeper's religion. It could even be an atheist walk in. So the problem isn't just about gays. It could also be an married guy wanting to buy a heart shaped cake to give to the woman he's having an affair with. So the baker has to be worried about promoting adultery.

1) if she would of refused service to him because of his beliefs (anti-gay) that could be discrimination

2) accepting service but denying specific concessions (i.e. writing on a cake) isn't discrimination


its not hard people. . .seriously.

Hmm, this seems to be an argument that was used in the segregated south. Why should these black bullies come into our shops and demand service. . we just want to be left alone. We are the victim here

that logic didn't work then

it doesn't work any better now

But it is just as natural and normal as being a heterosexual, a fact that rational human beings, including many Christians, are beginning to accept. They realize that antipathy to homosexuals based on the Bible should be rejected just as stoning for various indiscretions is now.

If Christians "just wanted to be left alone" they wouldn't pass laws and spearhead initiatives against gay people.

There is no campaign against Christians. Nothing preventing Christians from PRACTICING their religion, or ordering THEIR lives and how they want. Instead, it is CHRISTIANS who have imposed THEIR morality and way of life/thinking on everyone else.

These days, people are saying, "enough is enough." But in the absurd and perpetual "opposite day" world of fundamentalist Christians, however, any demand that they bear the burden of accommodating equality is PERSECUTION!

No guy in his right mind thinks it is normal to stick his **** inside another guy. Period.

No on mentioned the Bible except you. Are you a lesbo?

No guy in his right mind immediately jumps to thinking about dudes engaging in anal sex on the topic of equality for homosexuals and the issue of human expressions of sexuality.



No guy. In their right mind. Maybe some self-reflection is in order.

If so, show us the case that established such a precedent. Start at Google. See what you come up with.


... But ANSWER the question. You know how to read an Amendment on its face, but your understanding of "how law works" is woefully inadequate and lacking.
Not really.

I fully understand "make no law" "prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...

First Amendment. Plain as day.

Have you ever heard what a woman with a strap on can do with a guy? Or is that fine and normal, since it's a heterosexual act?
