    if you don't know what I'm talking about why don't you figure that out before you start making statements.

    I don't buy this everybody's bigoted nonsense. That's just what people say to try and avoid growth.
    What is my bigotry?

    Don’t be disingenuous. Because you’re not trying to get an answer. You got MANY answers. You’re just trying to argue that your answer is more correct than theirs because you want to insult the person you disagree with (in this case Jack and anyone who agrees with him) by calling him a bigot. You’re using a debate tactic which is taught in any rudimentary college debate club to insult the other side without openly doing so. So don’t sit here and pretend you’re just trying to understand the other side.

    But at the end of the day, your answer doesn’t matter lol.

    So what if he’s bigoted? So are you. Does being bigoted mean you lose your rights?

    Well there’s any of a plethora of things. But we will just start with the low hanging fruit... should a 45 year old man be allowed to marry an 11 year old girl?

    Excuses and rationalizations. Not very good answers
    the reason I think he did this isn't really bigotry. I use that term to point out to you the excuses you're making and why their excuses and not reasons.

    The reason I think he did this is strictly political. He objected to legal recognition of same-sex marriage and this is simply his protest.

    Are you also think it is in defiance of the type of people that would try and force him to do it.

    I don't think it's religious cakes aren't a religious thing.

    I don't know if my assumption is correct.
    if you believe this what the hell are you doing here? The whole point in talking to other people is to try and understand them.
    again I never said anything about losing rights frankly I think people have the right to be a bigot I don't think this man is.

    Also you keep saying that everyone is bigoted and that's kind of an sjw thing. It's kind of a play right out of Anita sarkisian's playbook everything is misogynistic.

    I don't really like sjws regardless of what political side they fall on

    I'm willing to bet you're going to have a hard time finding one with me.
    So protecting children from predators is bigotry?

    Again how are pedophiles and gay people equivalent. Is pursuing the same sex partner the same thing as exploiting children?

    If you going to use an analogy it has to be apt.

    Here's a better analogy.

    A Mormon mission group needs to take some of their missionaries to a different part of the country but their van needs some work even though I don't think what they're doing is right. Especially if they insist on paying me.

    That's a similar thing I'm objecting to something that isn't illegal that is a personal choice someone has made that I don't agree with on religious grounds.

    The only differences I don't make headlines if I deny the Mormons repairs on their van.

    Nope, christians are supposed to emulate Jesus as much as possible, and he absolutely would do it.

    I still don't think it's religious I think people use religion as an excuse. I think it's political.

    There's nothing imaginary about it! A same sex wedding cake is a wedding cake for a same sex wedding! Simple!

    It doesn't need to be the same in order to answer my question. Again, would you be surprised if a Christian objects to stomping on the Bible?

    Jack didn't care about the beliefs of the couple.

    You might be right, but political doesn't mean bigoted.

    The couple that wanted the photography isn't going to marry the Jewish photographer.

    I didn’t say anything about sex. But even so... yes that’s bigotry. Just because you provide reasoning for your bigotry doesn’t change that it’s bigotry. The Christians who don’t want to serve gays provide reasons for their bigotry as well.

    And for the record this is a great time to point out that not all bigotry is bad. It’s good to be bigoted towards people who want to marry children.

    I agree. So now you know what a possible reason could have been for the rejection.

    Whether you think they’re equivalent or not is irrelevant. A “minor attracted person” as the democrats want us to call them now would say that him having a loving caring relationship with an 11 year old who loves and cares for him is not evil and is no different than any other relationship between two people who love each other.

    So you are sticking up for child predators?
    It isn't bigotry.
    I don't think it's about religion, that's just an excuse.
    bigotry is defined as an obstinate or unreasonable attachment to believe.

    I don't think it's obstinate or unreasonable to want to protect children from predators.

    No. Because they aren't a man and a woman.

    It's not equivalent. That isn't just my thought.

    Cakes don't have sexes.


    I don't answer pointless questions.


    It seems he cared about making a scene.


    Not intentionally at least.
