I think we can see how far society still has to travel.
If you are in the cake business then you sell cakes to the public. Not just to those whose sex lives pass your bigoted standards.
B'loney. That is not the point of the Tolerance. In a DIVERSE society, people are free to have beliefs which may offend others. The most basic right is the right to be left alone. To be forced into service of another, even if it's for money, is a violation of that right.
What people who promote PC Tolerance and Diversity always forget is that, in their pursuit of their Social Justice Cause, they trample of the rights of others.
The bakers weren't preventing the couple from getting married or buying a cake from someone else. They just did not want to be forced to provide Their Labor in the service of something that violated their beliefs.
Tolerance is Not Acceptance and Not Forced Participation.
Tolerance is a two way street, the lesbians should have tolerated the baker's beliefs
Should they? Shouldn't the bakers have tolerated that society is a place where people should feel they aren't being persecuted?
Would you tolerate a person who hates Americans living and working in America?
Poor analogy, there are people living and working (well a few) in America who hate real Americans....progressives
How is it a poor analogy if you then say there are such people? The point being that they have a right to their views, even if they hate America, but no doubt many people will tell them to leave America if they don't like America.
I don't go around telling anyone to leave America, I tolerate them...as the lesbians should have tolerated the bakers. Again, it's a two way street but you on the left and the gays keep pushing it....this time there is blowback and it flabbergasts you it happened.
