lol....is this some type of oath you take to become a baker?.....if I believe a marriage between members of the same sex is wrong, why should you be able to force me to bake them a cake anyway simply because you think my beliefs are wrong?.....I cannot ignore their fake marriage if I am an employer or if I am an insurance company.....I cannot ignore their fake marriage if I am a baker, or a florist or a wedding caterer.....I am part of society and if you decide to use the courts to force your beliefs on society you cannot avoid the reality of your actions......when you take your relationships out of the privacy of your bedroom and bring them into the court house you can no longer pretend you have protection under a right of privacy.......
Yes you can. When you bake a cake as a baker, do you know all about the heterosexual couple's private life? How do you know that they are not practicing swingers? How do you know they don't participate in immoral acts? You don't....your baking a cake does not have anything to do with their private lives. You are inserting yourself in areas where you have no business.
There are countless people committing all kinds of sins that are not illegal.....you probably do business with them, probably even have them as friends, and you're not responsible for their lifestyle. Quit acting as if you are.
Because as a business person, you're duty is to serve the public in whatever profession you are in.
Yes, idiot. When you are a business person, you have to obey the law. You can remain a bigot, sexist or hater in your private life, but you can't do it as a business person to the public. No wonder you keep arguing, you don't even know what the law is.
14th Amend.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
I don't remember bakers being a state....I do remember when gay marriage became a law....it was what four years ago?......five?......in some states one......and the claim that business owners are required by law to do business they find morally objectionable is even newer.......
did you hear the case of the black baker who was required by the courts to bake a cake for a KKK gathering....oh wait, that one hasn't happened yet......will you applaud when it does?......
