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.......how many times do I have to answer the same question......if I answer it again will you be smart enough to remember it this time?....if yes, you should already know the answer, if no it is a waste of time to repeat it....Are you having to sign a paper saying you acknowledge the marriage? How then are you being forced to acknowledge it?
In other words, you have no answer. You don't have to sign a paper acknowledging the marriage, unless, of course, you were their witness to their marriage, which judging from your attitude, I hardly think you would ever be called to be.
You are taking ownership of problems that are not yours to begin with.
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. I don't expect you to bake a cake for them because I think your beliefs are wrong, but because that is your profession. If you don't want to serve the "public" then don't become a public servant. You are taking advantage of tax-paying benefits as a businessman that every person, whether gay or not, has paid into, and you have no authority to deny service to anyone. Quit being a public servant if serving certain people annoys you.
