Would you require muslims to perform gay weddings? I keep looking for a muslim baker, florist or photographer getting sued by gays but for some odd reason I cannot find them anywhere.
Links anyone?
This is not complicated
ANY business is obligated to follow public accomodation laws- if your local PA laws forbid discrimination against homosexuals, then it doesn't matter whether the business owner is Christian, Muslim, black, white, man, woman- he or she is obligated to do business with a person regardless of whether they are a homosexual or not.
Yes, but did the government, judges or lawmakers consider all angles of every possible scenario in which the laws would bring about when they were enacted and/or were considered before being enacted for all or against all who opposed them ? Can any group with a new twist in life, just make use of the laws willy nilly now, in which were maybe not intended to cover every single scenario or situation out there ? They are doing this by adopting the laws in order to protect their interest against the opposition for whom they know will be soon mounting a case against them or maybe even trying to avoid them in a situation or case such as with the baker. They do this whether they are right or wrong upon what they might be asking for in life, and both parties involved will fight for what they believe in, and that is always expected. The problem here is exactly what the baker and customer had encountered, where as the Christian baker should be allowed to opt out of the situation instead of being forced to go along with it by governments strong arming him to do so in that situation, but there was no relief mechanism or definitions added in the law in which should have been added for some citizens to opt out as based upon their religious beliefs or cultural standards in which they live by and go by in life.
Now It's the same isn't it, where as the debate rages on about federal funds (tax payer money's), in which are attempting to be thrown at or could be next to fund abortion right, and to promote abortion through that planned parenthood group or organization in which is also causing havoc and debate now in America right ? Again there are Christians along with countless others who are not wanting to engage in that mess either or to have their tax dollars fund that mess at all. So now the government has been wringing it's hands over that issue just as well, and so far the tax payers pushing back along with these religious organizations have held back the tidal wave coming down on them from above. There will be no place safe for people to practice their faith in the end if it all keeps up, and this is why democracy should be allowed to work as it should in America, and the votes should be honored when they are in on the issues about these things be it one way or the other. Both or all parties can exist together in our society, but they must be allowed the proper space in order to do so, and then respect for one another as human beings comes next until the day of judgement comes for all. If by popularity one shrinks and the other grows in areas, then this is no different than what has always went on in America, but when government intervenes or meddles where it shouldn't, then people begin to get abused by this action taken by government.
The baker and the customer could have easily resolved the issue on their own with maybe
proper mediation added (in order to protect both peoples rights in a situation), and this by either local government or even federal gov. helping out and not using force against either of them instead. It can be done (remember the beer summit or sit down?). Not sure how that went, but it was an example of the tricky situations that people can get themselves into at times, and how the government tried diplomatically to resolve the issue. Did it work ?
Now it seems that the federal government has got to come to the rescue of every single crying group or individual out there anymore, and it's not because they actually care, but it's more about the potential voter base they figure is at stake over all else in the nation now. The government seems to be living in some sort of bubble that some groups has placed it in, and so it has become impotent to some, but on fire for others.
The only thing that the government should be doing is keeping the
peace always in America, and then arresting people who break the law with violence in which damages the peace and harmony between all groups that live peacefully in America. Disagreements between people shouldn't ever be on the Federal Governments radar and/or agenda ever, unless it gets ugly and violent between the groups or individuals in which can cause serious harm in society towards one another when that occurs. We have been far from this type of problem in these situations, but government has been meddling badly, and has been stirring up or creating a lot of bad stuff out in the societies lately. We need better government, who represents all in America again, and even the Christians once again in America as well.
