This is what the gay community wants. To shove it in everyones face.
No baking the cake shows that you chose to open a bakery and someone ordered a cake from you. No one asks their bakers permission or for their approval of their marriage, they just ask them to do their job and bake a cake.

It's their business.

What can of worms? The right to operate your business as you see fit?

I never sided with the muslims on that. My stance has always been...if you are in business you serve the public. If you can't serve all of the public, get out of business.
And, If I remember correctly, those Muslim cab drivers were told to pick up any passenger or forfeit their cab driver license.

So they were told to not discriminate in the operation of their business, as it should be.

Wilco cancels Indianapolis concert due to Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act

Soooo... is Wilco not going to perform in any of the twenty states with RFRA? And what about the RFRA signed by President Clinton? Does that mean Wilco won't perform in any state that is a part of the United States?

What's a band to do? Oh, wait... there's always Canada

"Why can't Black people ride in the back of the bus?" "Why can't women go back to being homemakers after the war?" All manner of rationalizations have been used by bigots to try to justify their indefensible preference.

Hate to break it to you, but four percent has been about the average GDP growth rate over the last one hundred years. A lot of that growth can also be attributed to the ramping up in defense spending rather than Reagan's economic polices as well. It drops off once Bush Sr. cut the spending, recovered under Clinton, dropped under Bush Jr, and has not really recovered since. The myth that Reagan's polices put the American Economy into some sort of unnatural overdrive is just that, a myth.

I never hear of these stories from the liberal MSM. You don't hear then blasting it on the news for days on end like this story.

No, they just want to shove delicious cake into everyone's mouth . By your logic that means if they bake a cake for a Wiccan cover they are okay with pagan rites and if they bake a cake for someone getting remarried then they are okay with divorce. Like I said before, it's amazing how many so called Christians cherry pick the sins they are too morally outraged over to be a part of .
