I think its more to do with the racism, intolerance and hatred that Trump has been preaching and this has an overall effect on gullible Americans who are often too clueless to think for themselves, as well as stirring up feelings of racism and hatred that are often left buried, but now free to be openly displayed.

I don't know where you live, but I see none of this.

That very much sounds like the same excuse used against blacks who wanted Jim Crow laws abolished. Such laws were designed to make them separate but equal.

I don't agree with them.

However, are they not allowed to have an opinion? Are we banning free thought in the USA now?

This is the you MUST accept/celebrate/ally or else you are an enemy part that is HURTING the LGBT agenda.

No one EVER has the right to control how another person THINKS.

Bullying and severely punishing Christian business owners who didn't want to support their weddings certainly didn't do them any favors.

False.

The same USA population that voted in Obama and was considered tolerant, diverse, accepting, progressive, etc.

Is the SAME USA population that voted in Trump.

Except the next day everyone freaked out about how racist the whole country was.

One day difference. And all of America *suddenly* became racists.

To view it this way is MENTAL ILLNESS and victimization mentality.

Not one person's opinion changed. Violence was up, mainly from liberal protestors destroying property, beating people up and setting fires, banning speakers from colleges, etc. They were also stirring up hatred by name calling, divisionary tactics, etc.

Fred Phelps was a democrat... not a conservative.

Don't make the bakers the victims. They broke local anti-discrimination laws. That's the point of the suits. It's not a "you hurt my feelings!" thing, it's a "you broke local law" thing. Amazing how people like you can twist facts and others will fall into your trap. You've probably fallen into a trap yourself, thinking this.
