  Yes or no....Should a baker be FORCED to make a cake for a straight couple?
• isadore

  of course he has the ultimate choice of not providing bake goods for anyone.
• isadore

  he should not discriminate in the selling of marriage cakes based on race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical or mental handicap

  So your answer is "No". A baker should not be forced to bake a cake for a straight couple, but they should be forced to bake one for a gay couple or be sued?

  Does such a church exist? I'm not aware.

  gosh a ruddies you really can not read. A baker who bakes marriage cakes should not be able to deny cakes for a straight wedding because he disapproves of straight weddings, nor should he be able to deny cakes for a gay wedding because he disapproves of gay marriage.
  He can of course stop selling cakes for any marriage

  I think a clever solution to this is to make cakes for gay weddings 10x more expensive. If they protest, merely tell them you would be happy to make a cake for their wedding but they have to contract the work out to someone else because it is against your personal religious beliefs.

  I don't know that there are adequate words to describe the sick and twisted mental disease these whackos have.

  Why do you let it consume you like it does. Turn Fox News and Rush off for a few weeks and see how much better you feel. Really.

  if he does not come to your house because of your race, religion, gender, sexual preference, mental and physical disability.

  Religious beliefs trump the agenda of a special interest group. Period.
  
  They should never pay the fine, and should never stop talking publicly about the government overreach, harassment, and violation of their first amendment rights.

  gosh a ruddies the same argument Bob Jones University used in its failed attempt to ban interracial marriage on their campus. Bigots of a feather flock together.

  Should a business owner of a gear manufacture be forced by law to sell their product to a bakery? No
  The owner has the right to choose their customer base if that base does not include ethic, gender or life style then that business by his own admission has limited his profit market his right. The rights of someone ( gay) to demand that company services is the same right that business has to demand them not to be gay.... It is a matter of choice, not a matter of rights

  I'm neither religious nor afraid of "teh gayz"
  
  One deals with segregating public space based on race and the other deals with private business owners choosing who they want to serve. If I owned a bar i wouldn't serve any steelers fans, because fuck them.
  
  Keep being dramatic with your reaching though. Typical sjw.

  The business is open to the public, therefore they must abide by the laws that prohibit discrimination.
• Belly35

  

  Z4P drinking fountain and bathroom where at one time a public service provide by local government to their citizens.
  
  Can’t compare government policy at one time to private business ownership…
  
  
  Some private owner of business did discriminated and others did not. Those that choose to discriminate lost business. As the Black population grew, others that did not discriminate prospered greatly over time.
  Private business owner have to make this call, they are the “risk take” and how those entrepreneurs “ risk taker” choose to deal with social issue of today world is their business .. Just like it was years ago… right or wrong..

  If a business doesn't want to accept your money that's on them.
  
  Basically what I'm gathering is it is only ok to turn down business when people agree with it. I never see people bitching the other way around.
