So cool. You set a policy and someone tries to get the catering company for a gay wedding. Great. The local authorities will be all over that.

But NOW, the path is laid. What we'll see is some enterprising conservatives doing exactly what the gays have done.

They'll seek to get known gay companies to support events they know the companies will find objectionable.

And viola. Local authorities will do the same stupid shite they did here and only go after the religious.

And, if per chance they actually try and shoot fair.........the fricking gays will lose their goddamned minds!

Didn't realize you hated gay people so much

pathetic tbh.

There's a reason LGBTQ groups are celebrating the ruling. Creative design is protected speech but delivering italian food to a wedding certainly is not.

Which begs the question: what if the business owner has no problem with it but the employees do?

We have an employee that has work schedule restrictions because he is a 7th day adventist. We work with him and don't force him to work because we respect his religious beliefs.

What if the employees at the catering company refuse to work? That would put the business owner in a rather precarious position.

Sort of wonder how that would play out.

I don't hate gays at all.

I would oppose refusing service to someone simply because they're gay.

But, I do support freedom.

Good luck with that view. It's going to lose.

Because someone will try to get a gay company to deliver Italian to something they object to.........and they'll object...........and viola', same problem.

The bottom line is, no matter what..........any authorities trying to walk the fence are going to run in to this problem and, the road map has been drawn.

In every single community where they go after some religious guy.........some conservative group is going to come right in behind and set up some gay group for failure.

THAT by the way will only work precisely because gays want to be able to discriminate without being discriminated against.

It wouldn't work if they weren't so easy to troll.

But screw your "hate" shite. Personally, I'd serve gays regardless. And I'm a musician on the side who occasionally does weddings!

But, I believe people should have the right to say no. And, while Kennedy didn't say he agrees with me........he IS saying........"if A can't say no, then neither can B".

So good luck
