You just ignore that these groups of people are actually discrimintaed against, seems convenient and odd, not sure what the reason may be for that.

Mr. Haden is free to make a public statement, as he is obviously doing, but if he can't make the meeting to fulfill his obligation, maybe he should be replaced. His little sideline interruption should have taken care of that last year.
So you put your job above what you deem to be doing right by your family?
Political correctness is out of control, mainly by pantywaists who have never sacrificed a damn thing for the right to bitch.
Just an opinion of a FREE AMERICAN.

I don't understand all the fuss. The free-market will take care of this. If you advocate for the rights of private businesses, you also must advocate for the rights of private individuals to do as they please, including protest. You can be upset with the ignorance of those protesting, but part of the free market is the ability to successfully educate people on the issue at hand. Obviously Indiana fricked that up.
If Pat Haden doesn't want to go, great. If a business doesn't want to make a cake with two brides or two grooms, great.
The law simply gives businesses the power to use religion as a defense in court. It certainly doesn't guarantee that they will win. Ho hum, carry on folks.

"Almost" is a big key here FWIW.

If his job and family collide to where he is unable to handle his responsibility to one, he should leave the one that is least important to him.

I hope he has quit driving also. Since most of our oil comes from muslim countries that adhere to Sharia law, I assume he is protesting that too.
Big Bill Clinton signed the same federal law into effect in 1993 and nobody cried. ACLU even endorsed it.

Kentucky should skip the final 4 in Indianapolis to protest.

We are all too self-absorbed to worry about purposefully holding someone down.
Sure, you'll always have the 1% outliers that want to screw you over b/c you have long hair, or you're a different color, or you drive a sweet Vette, but you can't legislate intelligence.
The shrill, whiny, voices of those too lazy to make it in the world on their own merits can get lost after awhile.
Some numbnuts doesn't want to sell you cupcakes? Go to the other 100 bakeries that will.
Too much common sense. We have too many drama queens these days.
I have no problem publicly "shaming" drama queens. Relatively small percentage of the population but extremely loud, obnoxious and self indulgent. I'm blown away that with all the serious problems we have in this nation, we're hung up on whether someone can get a "gay" cake.

Sure it it's relevant. It will have no affect at all on his son.

That's what you're saying? Interesting.

As a baby boomer who was a Republican back in the early 70's, I am certainly no far left wing radical. But even I understand that this issue goes way beyond someone having the ability to buy a gay cupcake. Much like blacks demonstrating against having to sit in the back of a bus, drink from a separate water fountain, the big picture is what this is about. I find it amusing that white male politicians...for the most part...feel that they are qualified to define what is & what is not discrimination for blacks, Hispanics, women, gays, Jews, etc. The first group has probably had, literally, no form of discrimination shoved down their throats in their entire life. Whereas, the latter group has lived with it, day after day year after year their entire lives.

Should we have a governing body for every demographic group so no one feels left out?
