    Not that simple. The baker refuses to serve one customer while serving another and the only reason for the discrimination is the customer's sexuality. He claims that his religion permits or even demands his discrimination. If that is so we must keep religion out of commerce as well as politics. Leave it in the Church.

      Better plan: let's leave secular humanism out of the public square altogether.

        FF you are falling into the same trap Starlight does in not doing your homework. Rather then not serving people based on sexuality.
        From One News Now
        Phillips (pictured below) has said he sells bakery products to homosexuals at his Masterpiece Cake Shop in Denver but refuses to use his artistic talents for a same-sex wedding ceremony.

        "It was the event I'm being forced to celebrate," he said. "I also don't make cakes for bachelor parties. I don't make Halloween cakes or anything with witchcraft or demons."

        It was only the celebration of something he felt was wrong that he did not want to use his artistic talents for.

                No he didn't. He actually offered them a cake that just didn't have any wedding message or icons on it.

                      Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies.

                            What the heck is a "Christian haircut"? But apparently it's ok to be gay and not want to cut a Republican's hair...

                            Sorry, stupid, but it's the law. You do not have to provide a message that you do not agree with as long as you provide a comparable service. See Hurley v. Irish and Wooley v. Maynard.

                            Who is "picking on gays"? A cake was offered by the business. Period.

                            Dang you are stupid...

                            Refusing to be forced into participating in something immoral is not intolerant, you clod.

                              Hair cut short and evenly, without touching the ears or the collar; also clean-shaven, with no side-burns. You know, the way Jesus had it.
