“If you liberals insist on using the term "discrimination" when a religious vendor merely declines to host or service a ceremony that they find offensive[.]”
You don't understand.
What constitutes discrimination is determined by law and the nature of the business subject to that law, having nothing to do with 'liberals.'
If a state's or local jurisdiction's public accommodations law affords protections based on sexual orientation, and a business that meets the criteria of a business subject to that law refuses to serve a gay patron, then that patron may seek injunctive relief concerning that discrimination.
That the business owner finds some aspect of the service he's contracted to provide 'offensive' is not 'justification' to ignore the law, where refusing to accommodate gay patrons because of their sexual orientation is in fact to discriminate as defined by law.
The mistake you and others on the right make is to attempt to propagate the canard that public accommodations laws are 'subjective' and 'capricious,' when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.
What if they're wanted to cater a nude wedding? Are you forcing that too? This has to go to the SCOTUS. PA laws are starting to do harm in the hands of the American Jihadist Left.
Gay or straight, not everybody can be served when and where it's wanted. "We are booked that day, sorry." For the interim, that's how this is going to be handled, just like liberals pretending they are for gay rights when ther motivating is forcing Christians out of business.
