No, it is not. You only think so because you don't consider the moral dilemma involved for the party choosing not to attend/perform services.


What is the moral dilemma? what exactly are they doing wrong?

And we keep limiting this to the wedding cake situation. This bill would make it ok to cancel a couple reservations if two guys showed up to your restaurant on valentines day? What moral dilemma is there serving food to people?

Having a bill and all that seems like a lot of trouble.

Why don't those restaurants simply take hot dogs, sausage, kiebasa, and such ... along with quiche ... off the menus ?

Because then fat slobs would stop eating there, and that may attract even more gays (although they would probably lose a few who are into that)

Damn, you are one hell of a hypocrite to lecture others about their preaching while not seeing how you are just as guilty of what you hate. Of course, you have that right until someone sues your arse for hurting their feelings because you called them a fat slob.

These people couldn't get served in a place of public accommodation either.

You are being intentionally obtuse. You realize that some feel homosexuality is immoral. You don't have to agree with it, but it's obvious that many feel that way.

This isn't a case where someone is saying they won't serve lunch to a homosexual...or let them enter an establishment. This is a case where someone feels it would be personally immoral to personally participate in an event that is, in their mind, blatantly immoral. Marriage is an endorsement of a relationship. Serving someone a sandwich is not. Perhaps that's why you see so much push back on the former...and not a single example that I've heard on the latter.

Don't conflate the legal issues at hand with the "subhuman" statement you made. They are different issues. My comment was that someone who makes a decision not to participate in a homosexual wedding is not treating the couple as subhuman. They are following a moral path that they believe is right.

That's not true. They could get served but they couldn't sit at the counter. Those were laws enforced upon business owners by the government and fools like you supported those laws just like you are supporting these laws. You love intolerance of those you do not agree with and hate yet you are the intolerant one and most insidious by using government force to achieve your means.

This sint' about this case, it is about the bill in the OP that says there would be no government sanction against business that refuse service to gay couples.

So were the NAzis, but that doesn't make it objectively right. I also want to know what sin the baker would be committing by selling the gays a cake? Is it a greater sin that selling the couple who has pre marital sex a cake? is greater than selling a cake to an unfaithful couple?

Again, I responded to your "subhuman" comment. You are conflating the two issues...probably because you are struggling to defend your statement.

You don't get to decide what others think a sin is. Hell, for may people, they themselves don't choose their morality. That's kind of the point.

But therein lies the huge irony in this. The people who are choosing not to participate in a wedding are making a personal decision...they are not trying influence you or others to accept their moral stance. On the other hand, here you are asking people to justify their moral stance to you as if you have some authority to approve of it. You have become what you hate.

FWIW, if I were a baker, and a homosexual couple wanted me to bake a cake for their wedding, I would do it for them.

If it's two dudes ... is there one big white cake and then two groom's cakes ... or no groom's cakes ?



How does the wedding planner community keep up on all this cutting edge stuff ?

Toddys butt hurt and those of his ilk is a product of being in love with their form of sin and it comes with a burning sensation(passion) in their hearts above everything else. Jesus spoke allegorically of the path to hell using the phrase wide is the way and the traffic jam to get there is just like L A traffic on an interstate. The first sentence is a reference to Orwells 1984 and the pigs(oligarchs and apparatchniki) of political and sociological power for all they rule over. The federal judges in a broad stroke pen are legislating from the bench and Toddy just loves that shite, the advocacy will never end with just marriage, you can bet a whole lot of money on that one. Oh BTW I don't do drugs except prescriptions for certain conditions and none are mental.

That's the entire problem. All of the money is in the bride's cake. These homos are trying to work the system.

You are exactly right. Sammy is asking people to defend their conscience and beliefs to him. I don't worship Sammy so why in the hell does he think I must answer his questions. He is the hypocrite just like those lgbt activists that are using government force on others.

If that speech is so immoral, then why should gay men be allowed to continue to have the "privacy" to have indiscriminate sex? The lgBIt rights groups are protecting privacy that brings disease to unsuspecting wives and girlfriends. What does he say about that? Maybe the rest of society has the right to demand that all be tested for STD's, HIV, hep, etc and that those people infected with those diseases be punished with jail time if they infect anyone else and participate in sexual activities.

They hide behind the "what consenting adults do isn't anyone elses business." Well, what about those people that didn't consent to their spouse having sex with others? The government power needs to stop such immoral acts now because that is much more immoral than hurting someones "feelings" with your speech and beliefs.

A private business should be able to refuse service to anyone for any reason. If it is a state sponsored service they must follow anti-descrimination practices. I have no problem with that.

If a resteraunt owner finds a bunch of drunks repulsive they have the right to refuse service. If you are annoying a business has the right to ask you to leave. If they don't want to serve a LGBT couple they should have the right. If they don't want to serve me because I have a beard they should have the right. A private business should be allowed to do whatever they so desire. If it hurts their bottom line so be it.

The bill would prohibit government sanctions or anti-discrimination lawsuits against individuals, groups and businesses over faith-based refusals to recognize marriages, civil unions or domestic partnerships or to provide goods, services, accommodations or employment benefits to couples.



So its a pro-discrimination law.

Awesome.

Hey why not allow faith based deprivation of rights based on color? Yay let's go back to Jim Crow!

Hell, why do we have blood screenings. That is most discriminatory. Those should be done away with and if you get a transfusion of blood that has HIV, well, you should feel better knowing that you were anti-discrimination.
