Righties constantly lie and misrepresent facts.
The "gay cake" was just a plain old wedding cake . Same as the bakery made 1000 times . But they denied the customer simply because they were gay.
And why should a person not be allowed to decline engaging in trade for whatever (albeit stupid) reason they choose?
Title II of the Civil Rights Act for one...
I'm aware of the law. By what is the ethical justification for the law? Why should a person not be allowed to decline engaging in trade for whatever (albeit stupid) reason they choose?
Then you should really go after that Federal law, not state and local laws that have only added gays to already existing protections.
I can't deny service to a Christian in 50 out of 50 states, but he can deny me in over half. I can't fire someone because I find out they are Jewish in 50 out of 50 states, but that Jewish individual can fire me in over half.
What are you doing to get rid of Title II of the Civil Rights Act that requires gays to serve Christians?
I'm opposed to any law, federal, state, or local, that punishes a person for choosing not to engage in trade with someone. Why should a person not be allowed to decline engaging in trade for whatever reason they choose?
Would segregation have ever ended - segregated bathrooms, hotels and restaurants that wouldn't serve blacks? Things didn't change until they had to.
