I donate to candidates who support such ideas.

There have even been times when I've done block walking for candidates who I feel were conservative libertarians.
Great. Keep it up. It's good to have a hobby.

Good thing people like you are on the wayside though!
So all consumers should have to register with the federal government to ensure they are not discriminating against protected groups of business owners. OK. Consumers, like businesses need licenses!

I said that the law was constitutional because it was upheld by the Supreme Court. That's as close to a tautology as you can have in US law. I also agree that the laws upholding slavery were, unfortunately, constitutional. That doesn't make them moral. People who are opposed to immoral laws can work to change them and/or practice civil disobedience. As many people did during the slavery era. You are free to do this as well to uphold your sacred right not to bake a gay wedding cake.

So slavery WAS constitutional in your opinion in 1856? After all it was upheld by the SC.

All heil the SC! One SC decision is not the ultimate arbiter in constitutionality, another party is also involved often known as "we the people"

Is it really that hard for you to see the consequences of that train of thought? Or are you intentionally ignoring it?

We better make sure every town has a cake store that is open 24/7 so nobody will be at a disadvantage.

Let's make sure the government requires this.

Sorry, but this is still about hurt feelings. Nobody is going to die if they don't get a wedding cake. Only their feelings will be hurt. That is all the real suffering that will occur.

What's next the thought police?

"He doesn't like me because I'm Hispanic. I shouldn't have to suffer because of what ethnic group I belong. He needs reeducation."

Yes.

ETA: If they make crosses for other people. If they don't normally offer it, no.

If that is how they choose to operate? Yes. What business is it of mine how a business I am not affiliated with does business?

Why don't gays just take their business to bakeries that accept them, rather than forcing their lifestyle on someone who doesn't? To me, this whole issue smacks of a publicity stunt by the gay couple. Destroying someone's business should be a crime. This country is a disaster of political correctness run amok.

If you are a woman or care about women and equal right it is certainly your business.
