    store owners have the right to not make cakes with offensive messages.

    The first hypothetical is worth debate. The second (Muslim being forced to serve bacon) is nonsensical. If a business does not provide a product or service it is completely illogical to suggest they should have to. You cannot go into a bridal gown shop, and demand a new emergency valve for your Vietnamese Spin-F>>K chair, and claim discrimination if the bridal gown shop does not carry that product. Now then, if your neighborhood Muslim butcher shop carries pork products, and provides them to other customers, but refuses to provide them to you, then a case could be made.

    Homosexuality is not proven to be "natural".
    Your baby, however, is a racist, and heres why you can live with that.

    I personally believe homosexuality is a combination of nature and nurture in most cases, and vs in others. I personally dont care if they marry.

    Hon.............we all got it. We all got it before you piped up and said you got it. Your attempt to convince everyone you are smarter has failed.

    What you and so many others failed to get was that the question posed to the pizza girl was HYPOTHETICAL. The gay wedding thing didn't happen. No gay couple asked her to cater her wedding.

    Hypothetical. Get it now?

    What can you do? I know! There should be a $200 surcharge on baking odious cakes! :cake:

    It's not denying service, it's just the cost of that labor.

    That won't work, either. The Dems will just say the prices are discriminating, and they will fine them for that, too. Liberties and freedoms is the only solution.

    Lost in all of this is the question of WHY someone would deliberately go to some place that makes food for you and deliberately try to offend them in the name of Free Speech. Because I dunno about the rest of you, but I'd be afraid the guys baking my cake with an offensive message on it would end up spitting in the food.

    You are 100% correct, but I don't think they have any intentions of actually eating the cake it is all done to cause controversy.

    Here is a scenario that could also happen. I have been a hairstylist for 41 years, a customer comes in my salon and wants me to trim their genital area (male or female), do any of you think I should be forced to do that?

    As was the scenario of a pizza company catering a gay wedding. Who on earth eats pizza at a wedding? If they wanted pizza, order 50 and have someone pick it up. No one would have any idea someone was gay, if it isn't thrown in their face, and frankly most don't care. Money is green in America

    No, because that is not on your list of services provided.

    Gays are nowhere near the level of acts of terrorism that Christians are since you want to put it on that level. Besides gays folks don't have a history of attacking Christians, but Christians definitely have a history of attacking gays folks.

    Are we as a society are going to stop or not? Are you trying to imply because gays were treated so bad, they have a right to be violent?

    It appears you are trying to justify their violence. I frankly don't care what was, but I do care about what is. We are either peaceful or we're not, and I don't want any excuses either way, there should be no excuses for violence

    No, unless of course, that is a service you regularly provide.

    No, but it won't stop them. Next, the gay hair stytlists will start doing it as regular service. Then they'll demand the straight ones comply with the same services or they will fined, shut down for being homophobic.

    OK. Let us know when that happens, and then we can discuss how wrong it is. Until then, it is just faux anger at imagined situations.

    Nice attempt to save face. So let me get this straight, the OP knowingly posted a story that erroneously relied on a three-year-old satirical article for it's source material, to make a weak point about RFRA hypothetical situations? You must be a climate skeptic too with that logic.

    Is there any point in mowing the lawn when no one ever enters the yard?

    That's not part of their regular business, It's not like they're catering ham festivals to some customers and not to others.
