re: If your business is open to the public, you have to serve everyone!

So it should be okay to refuse service for the reasons you think, but not necessarily for reasons other people may have?

In a perfect world we could serve everyone and go about our business. The point of the thread was to point out hypocrisy amounts to those telling someone else to serve cake when in fact Facebook and other companies deny services all the time.

To answer your question it's a complex issue with no real solution because prejudice exists. I would theoretically support everyone serving who they want to but practically that's how the south disenfranchised an entire race.

Yeah I know what the thread is about. You're spouting the same hypocrisy in your posts.

And when you refuse service on the basis of someone's sexuality, which the bakers stupidly admitted to,

They actually didn't admit to that.

Not serving or baking for someone who that's gay is bigoted. Shutting down hateful points of view is a moral distinction

Apparently some moralities are more equal than others?

From my first post in the thread

Its really not a freedom of speech issue. We were told that private businesses could NOT descriminate based on their moral objection how their products and services were used by their customers

True.

I apply my view of speech to actions also.

Absolute. As long as a person is not directly harming another, they should be able to apply their efforts SOLELY on accordance with their own will.

I don't give a frick WHAT the reason is.

Three problem today is that our government is completely ok with i just said WITH EXCEPTIONS

By selecting out certain groups for defense, the government has defacto approved legalized discrimination.

If a black man can hire all black people with zero attention from the EEOC but a white man can't hire only whites, you have government sanctioned discrimination
