Two real distinctionsHeterosexuals destroyed morality long before gays began demanding equal rights.
Long, long, long before.
Vote Trump Family Values, but for God's sake don't bake a cake for a homo!
The difference is that whatever you or the President or anybody else does in his/her own time, on hisher own dime, and that is not illegal requires nothing whatsoever from me. In such cases he/she who is without sin should cast the first stone or otherwise mind his/her own business.
When I am required to bake a cake for you, however, I am required to contribute and participate materially and physically. And I am required to violate my personal values and ethics if you require me to put something on that cake that I believe to be fundamentally wrong and/or participate or contribute in any other way in something that I believe to be fundamentally wrong.
I don't expect everybody reading this to appreciate the distinction between those two things. But there sure as hell is one.
If you set yourself up in business as a baker, you bake cakes. “Required” is really ‘requested’. It’s your stock in trade, not an egregious ‘requirement’.
Next, in order to make a claim of disapproval, the vendor should morally get every client, thus imposing a mercantile imperator. Is this fair by any consideration? Certainly there are clients whose criminal reputyis far more egregious than simply being Gay. Do these ‘selective vendors also refuse cakes for Maria princesses? Polygamists? Convicted child molesters wanting a birthday cake?
