Amen. The homosexual militant bullies have sealed their fate with their unending bullying destroying good, decent hard working people's livelihood and eliminating their means of putting food on the table to feed their families. All because they didn't get a blessed cake. They didn't get a blessed dress. Good God Almighty this atrocity will stop and they shall be forever vanquished.

I have a small business and do not discriminate based on anything except location.

Again, get back to me when halal meat stores are forced to sell pork.

Nobody should be required to change their attitudes. This is supposed to be a free country. That means you should be allowed to have whatever attitude you want, regardless of whether that attitude is offensive to unacceptable to others.

That's right, you don't get to do that. But you don't get to do that because the law says you don't. Not because of any moral or ethical requirement. At one point the law said that slavery was legal. That didn't make slavery right. A law which requires one private citizen to have dealings with another private citizen against his will is not a moral law. The reason why that citizen doesn't wish to deal with the other one may indeed be completely repugnant, but that's irrelevant. Freedom is freedom all the time, not only when it is warm and fuzzy. Anti-discrimination laws which give everyone equality under the law are just and proper. But anti-discrimination laws which affect the private sector are unethical in a free society.

It's amazing that a mere 1.6% of the population is allowed to behave like this and have such a disproportionate impact. And even more amazing that they are taken seriously. Too many people still subscribe to the theory that "If it's on the InterWebz it must be true - they wouldn't allow it if it wuzn't!"

When my child was young, tantrums were dealth with by a few quick swats and a timeout. The bad behavior quickly abated and was not repeated. In this case it's rewarded by all the publicity, drama which these kind of people thrive upon. Pathetic.

They irreversibly crossed the line when they started bullying and attacking people of faith and the small Mom and Pop establishments. Easy targets in their sick little twisted minds. As they demonstrate time and again no aptitude, desire or willingness for compromise so shall their fate be decided accordingly.

You can tell people no, that's fine, of course. But are you basing that decision on a reasonable set of criteria - for example are they being unrealistic in their expectations, do they have enough money, do they have a reputation for being unable to pay their bills, are they difficult to work with, would they make your life miserable while doing the job?

I highly doubt it was because they were gay, a minority, disabled, or other characteristic that is an indisputable part of their physical being and has nothing to do with their ability to fulfill their side of the contract between the parties.

This involves a cake and a dress. Is it really that inconvenient of a hardship to go to the other bridal shop or the baker next door and leave good, decent hardworking people alone to put food on their tables?

True......most of the time I never see them.

And I am nor anti-gay.

But, no one tells me who to work for.

Wow what power they have! The business can't be that hard up if they're refusing paying customers, who are asking for a dress and not the blessing of the proprietor. Do they provide dresses for second marriages, to former adulterers, are the brides virgins? Why don't these things matter? They also undermine the blessed sanctity of marriage.

If they're going to be the moral arbiter of who wears their white down the aisle, then it would make sense for them to judge all supposedly ungodly behavior, no?

Excellent point. That's right, you didn't get your blessed little dress so you must ruin these people and destroy their livelihood. Make them pay – all over a screwed up blessed little dress those who transgressed you must starve. Just go to the other bridal shop. You might just appreciate the friends and allies you cultivate by doing so.
