Colorado tries to find middle ground in the gay rights issue

Kind of like the way blacks went after all the racists when they gained their civil rights.

Perfectly understandable, and the racists had it coming to them.

Why do you have to point to blacks and their civil rights struggle, can't you make the argument for gays on its own? Many blacks will tell you they resent gays trying to equate the gay rights struggle with the black civil rights struggle they find that offensive.
why do you need to try to control the way G5000 argues?

Why do you make stuff up, I think we know the answer no need to reply.
wow great denial
this is you:' Why do you have to point to blacks and their civil rights struggle, can't you make the argument for gays on its own."
I did not make that up.
you've just proved my point: " do you need to try to control the way (place poster name here). argues!

I asked a question you tard, go back to school maybe you will advance past the 8th grade this time.
false you were playing CYA and failed.
not the you're stupid ploy again.
 
One sided?

Christians actually had the LAW on their discriminatory view's side......now that that vile bigotry as mandated by law is over?

GOOD.

So gays are looking for revenge and payback? It seems to me gays have been free to be gays for decades and the sky hasn't fallen. Why all the drama.
There would be zero drama if nobody, as it should be, gave a fuck if gays wanted to marry.

Meh, I don't care if they get married. That government is conspiring with militant gays to target a Christian business and trying to intentionally destroy that business and the owners hell yes I have a problem with that.

Can you list the things that you believe a so-called Christian business should NOT be allowed to do in the name of their religion,

regarding business practices?

Pull your head out of your ass. A reasonable fine or damage award for not baking a cake might be $1,000. That has some sting to it and seems appropriate. $135,000 damage award for not making a cake is utterly ridiculous.
Welcome to being made an example of...
 
Unnecessary.

If you want to run a business in public, then follow the civil rights act.

Contracting out is perfectly legal.

Sub-contracting is a perfect example of the type of reaction I predict from Christians. If gays continue to try to pick a fight with Christians this is an example of what's going to happen. The left frequently thinks people will just stand there and take it when they attack them, they won't.

Perfectly legal as long as the opinion is put in the work order. It is done by businesses all the time. It's legal and who cares if someone calls it middle ground or not.

That will piss off gays imo. Which gets us to the root of the issue, do they really just want a cake or do they want to pick a fight with a Christian.
If this were about a cake, they would patronize someone who wanted to make it for them.

So, it ain't about a cake.

.

That is actually a very good point. Why would you even want a cake from someone who didn't want to bake it for you? Why ruin your wedding day knowing the wedding cake was baked by a Christian who disapproves of gays and gay weddings? Weird.

I think the fine is too high as well but you have to remember the bakers signed up for it when they agreed to follow local business law.

Wait a minute. Now you're conceding that the bakery was in the wrong, and now you just want to haggle over the price?

lol, case closed with one more RW'er.
 
This is interesting. Two bills being promoted right now in Colorado:

Gay marriage opponents propose 2 Colorado ballot measures - Washington Times

The first would redefine same-sex marriages as civil unions.

The second would allow wedding-related businesses opposed to gay marriage to hire a contractor to serve same-sex couples.

That sounds like reasonable middle ground. Personally, I don't care how they're defined, but the second one does allow someone to avoid being "forced" to go against their beliefs.

Good enough? Or is compromise still a dirty word?

as I said before it's not gay vs. Christian ,it's" gay" vs. "straight" Christian.
why is it you won't man up and say gays can't be Christian or some shit like that?
it's obvious that's what you are trying so hard to suggest.

One of the brides had gotten a cake for another wedding from this bakery (her mother's wedding, I believe). Apparently the cake was good enough and the service was good enough that she chose this bakery for her own wedding. Why would she assume that the baker would refuse and call her an abomination? And why on earth should she put up with something that is clearly against the law?

Why would a black guy want a job at a company that didn't want black people working there?
 
I don't see a middle ground here

How is giving up your hard fought right to same sex marriage a middle ground?
How is giving up your right to be served in a public business a middle ground?

Exactly. It isn't middle ground. It's second class ground.

There are a multitude of local laws on the books, some of them unconstitutional, that nobody obeys.

How many times do I have to tell you leftwits I personally don't care if gays get married. My entire line of debate today has been about achieving a tolerant middle ground between Christians and gays, specifically pointing out that's not what gays want.

Gays can worship Jesus, or a pet rock for all I care you are making up shit again.

Boo hoo someone would rather you take your business elsewhere :crybaby:
 
looks to me like our residents homophobes are in the third stage of grief!
ANGER & BARGAINING-
Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the death on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion.

You may rail against fate, questioning "Why me?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out of your despair ("I will never drink again if you just bring him back")

Considering I have no issue with SSM if it was voted in by the State legislatures, your broad brush doesn't hit me.

Try again.
You cannot legislate civil rights. Why do you not understand that basic concept?

So all those States that passed changes to their Marriage Contract were wrong?

and yes, you do legislate civil rights, or am I missing something with the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
