When I got married, we did not invite the baker to the wedding. The cake was delivered to the venue a few hours before the reception started. We saw the baker once, 2 months before the wedding.Definitely bigotry.
What isn't bigotry? Why isn't contempt towards a Christian deemed bigotry? Hmm?
A bigot is "a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc. : a bigoted person; especially : a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group (such as a racial or religious group)."
Whether or not contempt is involved is irrelevant. I can have contempt of court because of a specific idea that I abhore, but that doesn't mean that I dislike the judge. I can have contempt for a religion or a religious view, but that doesn't mean that I dislike the religious PERSON. One can disagree with the religion and like the religious. My family is a classic example. I'm an atheist. Most of the rest of my family is devout Catholic. I intensely dislike Catholicism, but love my family. You can intensely dislike homosexuality for whatever reason. You can even dislike the homosexual. But you have no right to discriminate against them because they are homosexuals. The hatred needs to stop. They aren't hurting anyone by being gay any more than heterosexuals are hurting anyone by being heterosexual. Their sexual preference is no one else's business but their own.
So if you feel contempt for all Nazis, does that make you a bigot?
That is NOT a good analogy. Gay people being gay are not hurting anyone! BIG difference there.
They are hurting people by shoving everyone's faces in their lifestyle. Forcing a baker to attend their wedding is hurting the baker, especially when he/she gets fined $100,000. Why should anyone be forced to do something they don't want to do? Can anyone explain that?
