In this USA the policy regarding laws and rights is from the philosophy of John Locke:"B. So you're going to get Title II of the Civil Rights act repealed so bakers don't have to bake"...a cake
I sure hope you're right.....of course, unlike you, I don't believe in slavery.
Any normal person must laugh at the claims of the gay couple who were deprived of their cake:
"The lesbian couple had filed a claim with the state, stating that the Kleins’ refusal to bake them a cake had caused them to suffer from 88 symptoms of mental anguish including “doubt,” “surprise,” “uncertainty,” “worry” and a “dislike of going to work.”
....their case wasn’t even tried by a judge from the Oregon judiciary; it was tried by a bureaucrat from the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, who ruled that the Kleins owed the lesbian couple, Rachel Cryer and Laurel Bowman, $135,000 in damages.
Although Rachel Cryer could have easily found another cake supplier, the Oregon government deemed it important to make an example of the Kleins.
According to the official catechism of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, a Christian couple’s right to religious freedom takes a backseat to a lesbian couple’s right to a cake."
What Will Happen to Religious Freedom?
Shall we review what 'rights' are in a free country?
Here is what ‘rights’ are.
- A right is something an individual has by virtue of being human.
- Human beings are the only entities that have rights.
- Rights belong to each human individually.
- Rights are exercised by individuals, and are not given nor ascribed by any person of group, especially governments.
- Rights are voluntary, in that individuals may choose whether to either exercise them or to ignore them.
- Individual cannot have a right that infringes upon or diminishes the rights of others.
6. To be clear, ‘benefits’ such as education, shelter, or a job require resources from somewhere else, and therefore, cannot be given or protected without restricting another’s right to the property of his hands or mind.
Why did you selectively edit the question? Title II of the Civil Rights Act does not require the Klein's bake a cake for gay people, local law does. You know, states rights stuff. Title II of the CRA "forces" people to make cakes for sinful interracial couples. Are you getting that repealed or not?
You ignored the key part of the post.....

Any problem with the above?????
We have laws.
Your rights do not over rule the law.
You may have the right to bear arms but I have the right to ban them on my property.
There is a law that says you can't discriminate as a business, your right to hate gay people does not give you a pass.
Actually, hon, our rights DO overrule the law. That's kinda the point of rights . . . although I wouldn't expect a fascist, government-worshipping leftist drone like you to understand that.
Locke’s claim is that individuals have a duty to respect the rights of others, even in the state of nature. The source of this duty, he says, is natural law.
If somebody puts their own rights above the law, they can take away your rights.
Let's review exactly what 'rights' are.

1. Human beings are the only entities that have rights.

3. Rights are exercised by individuals, and are not given nor ascribed by any person of group, especially governments.

Rights are given by our Creator, inalienable and supersede 'laws.'
So saith the Declaration of Independence, which refers to God five distinct times.
