    So you would be all for forcing a black owned print shop to print t-shirts for a KKK rally or a Jewish baker to make a cake with a swastika on it

    Sure, but the end result is the same for the people affected. They have to worry about discrimination at certain businesses.

    I expect most of us just don't know what that's like.

    Customers are customers. If the infrastructure can fulfill the order why not? It pays the rent.

    Big supporter of the LGBT movement and I think every American should be. After all Lets Get Behind Trump has a nice ring to it

    Why would an organization want to do business with a company that doesn't want their business? I could understand if they were the only t-shirt printing company around but they aren't. It sounds to me that the gay organization in this instance is acting like a hate group. They're harassing a business unjustly.

    Gay rights activist don't advance our cause when they try to force businesses to work with them.

    BTW- I'm gay. As gay as a guy can be. I'd never by a cake from a baker that didn't want my business. I'd never buy a t-shirt from a company that didn't want my business. I live my life and I let other people live theirs. I don't want religious people making laws telling me who I can and can't f**k in my own bedroom and in turn I'm not going to go "spreading my gay" around to businesses and organizations that don't want me.

    Thta's what I said in my first comment. The plaintiffs go after the bigots in the hope that they will get a payday. There are countless businesses that will gladly fulfill their orders but that's not what they want. They want to extort money from the bigots. By refusing to serve to agitators the business put's itself in the spotlight and suffers the consequences.

    What laws actually discriminate against Christians. There are laws that require them to actually behave as their faith dictates but that is hardly discrimination.

    Good then perhaps the bigots in America can pass an Amendment codifying their prejudices.

    No laws discriminate against Christians, instead they enjoy a whole hose of unconstitutional protections that they do not want others to have. Showing their complete lack of integrity

    I am not but Christians - as the largest faith in the US and the only faith pushing for "religious freedom to discriminate laws" are in the spotlight with the sheer hypocrisy.

    So people who do not support the LGBT Attack Squad, once again, have the same rights as those who do? Thank God.
    Sanity , and the Constitution return.

    Sorry Brownshirts, but a person is as entitled to oppose the LGBT Attack Squad as they are to support it. The left-appointed courts have given special rights to their "Chosen Groups", which must be undone.

    It was the same with the bakery. They didn't refused the couple for being gay. They refused to provide the cake for their wedding. If they came in to buy a dozen donuts then they would've served it. Had been a birthday cake they would've served it also.

    Fire breathing atheist here, and you have no right to force anyone to do anything against there will. So take your sense of entitlement, and pound sand.

    Lol...I think that if your 'convictions' are bigotry, intolerance and hate-mongering, then you deserve to be sued.

    They will win in the long term. You will face prison for having unacceptable thoughts soon enough. Heck, go to the right nations and you already have that.
