It’s mainly the loud gay activist minority. Most gay people just want to get along and not make big issues. They just want to live their lives while minding their own business.
I remember a time when another loud activist minority had to fight to not be discriminated against.
I'll let the Gaystapo push us around when they take our liberty from our cold dead hands!
Oh boo hoo poor Christians. You are so persecuted because you don't get to torture and brutally murder everyone who doesn't believe in your mythology exactly the way you do (you just bully them into doing it themselves). Cry me a f*cking river!
But the baker offered the service of custom wedding cakes in his shop, the law says that he can not refuse services. If he did not offer the service of custom cakes then he would not have to do them for anyone.
I liked these quotes from the transcript posted by another poster earlier in the thread:
JUSTICE KENNEDY: Well, but this whole concept of identity is a slightly — suppose [the baker] says: Look, I have nothing against — against gay people. He says but I just don’t think they should have a marriage because that’s contrary to my beliefs. It’s not -
MR. COLE: Yeah
KENNEDY: It’s not their identity; it’s what they’re doing.
MR. COLE: Yeah.
JUSTICE KENNEDY: I think it’s — your identity thing is just too facile.
Kennedy also said the following:
KENNEDY: Counselor, tolerance is essential in a free society. And tolerance is most meaningful when it’s mutual. It seems to me that the state in its position here has been neither tolerant nor respectful of [the baker's] religious beliefs.
This is far more serious than gerrymandering or even term limits. If someone can force someone else to do an activity that they're morally opposed to and can use the government to beat any who oppose going along with the arm of the state, what kind of society would that be? It wouldn't be a good one!
This is the foundation of “civil rights” laws.
A Nation filled with civil rights laws can not have individual liberty.
A Nation filled with civil rights laws can not have individual liberty.
That is why I seek to dismantle the phony civil rights movement of the Left. It's gone beyond King's dream and into a nightmare he could never have imagined! I know Dr. King for one would want this crap put down and, if the Democrats hadn't killed him, he'd be here right now fighting against it himself!
Yes, I too remember MLK marching for the right to use coupons at stores not listed as participating in the special sale on aluminum foil.
Please tell me you’re not comparing the “right of slight inconvenience” to cities forcing black people to use seperate facilities.
Considering that the Left views not letting men who call themselves women as the above, I actually want to stop their phony civil rights train before it goes that far as I'm sure that will be their eventual "justification" for imposing it on us via judicial fiat.

Then Kennedy is going against previous rulings including the Piggy Park case. Maurice wasn't anti-black, he was anti-mixing of the races. He claimed religious belief in his case and lost.
It's like saying "I'm not anti-Christian, I'm just against people who go to church" Or "I'm not anti-woman I just am anti-women making purchases" It can be used for anything.

Maurice Bessenger. He would sell to blacks, but not inside the restaurant. He lost his case against anti-discrimination laws, even though it was just an inconvenience that blacks couldn't sit down to eat.
