But they're not denying service to homos. They are merely requesting that their beliefs be allowed. They shouldn't be forced to bake a homo cake for heteros or homos. But they can't deny baking cakes in general to either. Homofascists don't seem to grasp this.But that isn't what is happening. Homofascists are forcing Christians (too scared to challenge the more draconian muslims) to acquiesce to and accommodate their homosexuality regardless of its conflict with Christians' religious beliefs.He didn't have a lot of choice, economically, did he?
You see, a LOT of the people in this country think Christians have the right to live as they wish, but not to tell others how to live and to pass judgment on them. That's the line.
'Homofascists'? They're ordering a cake from people that sell cakes.
If selling cakes conflicts with your religious beliefs, then you probably shouldn't sell cakes for a living. I'd give the same advice to the Buddhist considering working at the slaughter house.
Not exactly an appropriate comparison. It's not the selling of cakes, it's the selling of a cake for one particular purpose, which is a celebration of something said people find morally repugnant.
Its a job where that scenario is predictable and foreseeable. If your religion prevents that, find a job that is compatible with your religion.
They don't reschedule the super bowl because working on Sundays was against Steve Young's religion.
"Bake or else". It's a far cry from "Give me liberty or give me death".
I don't see why Christians insist that they should be immune from generally applicable laws if they disagree with them.
And why are conservative conceptions of 'liberty' so often tied to treating other people like pieces of shit?
Why should a person with the talent and passion for baking, or photography, be forced to give it up just because they don't want to work for one particular type of customer, especially when it involves a non-necessary service that is easily obtainable elsewhere?
And if we continue with your logic, everyone who was in business before Gay Weddings became a legal thing should be grandfathered in so they don't have to comply.
It's not being immune, its about enforcing idiotic laws (or idiotic interpretation of laws) that limit one person's liberty at the expense of another's. Why is a gay persons hurt feelings over having to go to another baker greater than the baker's hurt feelings over having to bake a cake they don't want to bake?
So treating the bakers "like shit" is A-OK, because you disagree with them, right?
