    this is not Saudi Arabia and argumentum ad antiquitatem isn't logical.

    just because you think it would be a mental disorder for you doesn't mean it's not normal.

    the pornography industry begs to differ and proves you wrong.

    What's it to you if some religious Baker gets fined?

    Are you a baker?

    Would you not defend the rights of others?

    Or are you suggesting that the only people that can care about something or the people that identify what that something kind of like cultural appropriation?

    I've seen your same attitude espoused by people on both sides of the spectrum and it's never right. Whether it's racial activists saying white people can't talk about issues concerning other races are men can't talk about issues concerning women. You did the same exact thing.

    you do realize people once defended slavery on religious grounds. On Christian religious grounds.

    the biggest problem with Christianity in the western world today is that every one of you believe you're the Soul arbiter of what Christianity is and what it means. And you defend this with "no true Scotsman" fallacy.

    " no Christian would disagree with me no true Christian that is cuz I'm the truest of the true of all the Christians and anyone who disagrees with me just isn't a true Christian because I'm true and they're not."

    People like you are the reason why respect for this religion is waning.

    delivering a cake doesn't force them to engage in speech that they oppose on religious grounds.

    writing on the cake "happy same-sex marriage", does

    Oddly enough, your summary doesn't mention involuntary servitude at all.

    And the article definitely does not say that "if you choose to bake cakes, you can't refuse a cake to a gay couple."

    In fact neither you nor anyone else has presented the actual argument given in the article. The article actually agrees that it is involuntary servitude but claims an exception to the 13th Amendment.

    Supreme Court says being required to serve all customers regardless of race, sex, nationality, religion, is not "involuntary servititude".

    You open your doors to the publuc, you acknowledge that you must serve the entire publiv. If you can't handle that you don't belong in the business world.

    Allowing business owners to discriminate against homosexuals based on their religious beliefs opens the door for anyone to discriminate against anyone as long as they claim they are doing so in accordance with their religious beliefs.

    Your religious freedom must end where my personal rights begin. It must be upheld in the law that your need to practice your religion cannot possibly interfere in any aspect of my life.

    Religious freedom should be the weakest ok the freedoms, subservient to all other personal freedoms.

    tax payers of all colors, religions, genders, and ethnicities pay for your roads, bridges tunnels, traffic lights, police, fire department, ems, water lines, sewer lines, that your business benefits from.

    we are all part of this society, and if you want to benefit from society you can't discriminate arbitrarily due to some irrational bigotry.

    dont like it? leave the USA.

    In this case, this couple was of very little means. I have not a doubt they were planning on picking it up, and having a simple house or backyard reception.

    There was an 84 page link I cited with is jam packed with other court cases and discussion / court opinions of such. The poster is a not interested. He's interested in pushing forth his White Nationalism, (as one can see from his history of posts) -- all else be damned.

    You're correct, it shouldn't be.
    But there was so much rampant discrimination tearing the country apart in the 50s, 60s etc.
    The gov't needed to try and mend the country or watch it tear apart.
    Now most everyone agrees the white discrimination of blacks back then was wrong. That would've never happened if not for these laws and protected class.
    Someday, your group will die off and this gay discrimination BS will be seen just as wrong as the black discrimination.

    So, blame it on folks like you for these laws in the 1st place.
