re: Couple fined for refusing to host same-sex wedding on their farm

I think there is a very easy solution to this. Allow your services to be hired, take payment and the provide sub-standard performance. Like one guy said have the wedding on the farm and have piles of shite everywhere or make a poor tasting cake. Do it with a smile and no refunds.

That way you get the money from the gays and put it toward whatever you want. Eventually the market will correct itself as far as gay wedding services.

So what's happening is laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation are being used to force business owners to cater to gays even when it conflicts with their religious beliefs, or being fined for failing to do so even when there's no real harm done, eg, lack of other options for gays to use.

No. What's happening is "state's rights". The First Amendment says nothing about preventing states or local governments from infringing on religious rights. So if you're an "originalist" and oppose the expansive interpretation of "liberal courts" and their incorporation bs, you should have no problem with this.

Make the cake out of shite.

Property rights in this country are in shambles, and this is just one example.
