Healthcare is a right in my country. Does that mean it's a right in yours, what with it being universal and all?
health care is not a right in your country. it's a benefit.

Too bad the US doesn't also benefit from the right of healthcare.

But I thought conservatives insisted that health care should be regarded as a privilege you get in return for being able to pay for it. To conservatives there are few real rights, but a lot of privileges required to be earned in order to properly live a personally responsible life.

Straights are tired of getting permission from the government to do what they want, too.

Just like it should be within their moral compass and belief system to show a black woman the door who wants a wedding cake made?

Being black has nothing to do with morality, so not a good comparison. A better comparison would be a 10 year old and a Nambla member wanting a cake to celebrate their copulation. Most moral compasses would be off the charts on that one.

So that means you chose to not be gay? Bull, no one chooses their sexual orientation and only those who are ignorant about human sexuality think one can choose to be gay. One can no more choose to be gay or straight, then to be black or white. And being gay is not a lifestyle. The baker does not need his religion to run a business or to bake a cake and his religion does not give him the right to discriminate against anyone, religion does not trump law, the laws are in place to keep religion from imposing on others rights. The judge made a decision and because it does not stand by religious doctrine, he deserves to be impeached? Talk about separation of church and state and why we need it.
