So you think that these suddenly pious wedding vendor's new found religious beliefs can be wiped away by the free market? Which is more powerful; God or profit?I'm all for letting market forces decide. Market forces decided Chick Fil A, Cracker Barrel, A&E, Memories Pizza, Masterpiece Bakery. Did I forget anyone whose fate was decided by market forces?So the Free Market will do what morality cannot, i.e. eliminate discrimination.Yeah. We've already seen how that works.One might think that, with marriage equality finally coming to the Land of the Free, vendors who service the wedding business would be thrilled at the expansion of their customer base.
But, suddenly! Some of those vendors find a new set of "religious beliefs" that never served their purpose of discrimination before. Surely their business plan of excluding this new and affluent customer base cannot be sustained.
They'll get over their attitudes toward their fellow American citizens once their businesses fail from the public blowback.
Perhaps your government is not what is to be feared, but Capitalism is.
Let the marketplace decide.
Which is more venerated; religious dogma or the bottom line?
The problem here is that you've started with a false premise, ie. that you were right, in this case regarding the assertion that religious beliefs = bigotry. Assuming that YOU are right is always a bad start that will inevitably lead to the wrong conclusion.
