    Due to government laws. We had an over correction which took rights away from others. I don't expect some to fathom the simplicity of a noninterventionist government.

    Freaking publix bakery can any picture on any cake you want. Of course, they could have made a trump cake. I 100% support their right to abstain.

    So if a baker doesn't offer gay cakes as part of their normal offering then there is no discrimination. Got it.

    Some bakers are artist. Here's one I had made for a liberal buddy after the election. It was the best I could do after all the crows in the area fled the Democrats that were looking for crow to eat after Hildi in a landslide.

    So you're good with a baker who wouldn't bake a cake for anyone which celebrates a homosexual union?

    Don't be obtuse. This, like any other custom cake, is made to order.

    That is not discrimination. Now, you're not making any sense.

    Why would I be outraged? In no state in this union are Donald Trump supporters a protected class in any state or federal civil rights statute?

    No, they shouldn't have their business license revoked for doing what their conscience demands. Neither of them. A business should not be compelled to associate with those with whom they wish to have no association.

    That's the correct thing to do, but the Left is insistent upon forcing their beliefs upon society.

    Protected classes are unconstitutional. That is not equal treatment under the law.

    The Left have gone full loon.

    Oh but it is, it certainly fits the definition. it may be not illegal but it's no less discrimination and no less disgusting.

    Not unlike the hypocrites on the right who hate fake news, except when they don't.

    Political affiliation is not a protected class. Political affiliation is a choice. Sexual orientation is not a choice.


    You fail.

    So the little boy wants to make a statement....that is all this is about. When Bill and Stevie want a "gay wedding cake" that is all they are doing too. Either a public business has a right to decline services or they don't. I believe they have that right in all cases. You just seem to have your "pet projects" you tend to favor.

    Care to prove that assertion using a SCOTUS opinion, I can sure prove the opposite using a SCOTUS Opinion, or you could google it. Those sections of the 1964 civil rights act dealing with regulating private business behavior and public accommodation were already ejudicated a couple of times. Your view did not prevail.

    You use a definition you do not understand. If the kids order a different cake and wasn't served, then perhaps, you may have a case for discrimination. Show me how your definition applied to this specific case.

    Huh? The kid was refused service not based on individual merit but on the group of Trump supporters he belongs to. It should not be that difficult, it fits the definition to a tee

    It's just like refusing to make a Hitler cake.

    Like it or not, that is how a large percentage of us see it. Trump just hasn't killed a bunch of people yet.

    The goal generally is to stop Hitler before he becomes Hitler.

    I'm aware. The SCOTUS is far from infallible. SCOTUS has become a political animal, and is so because of judicial activism.

    The word is 'adjudicated'.

    It's stupid not to make the cake. They're creating a product at the behest of a customer. It's not like they are personally endorsing the the doughnut guzzling incompetent boob who thinks he's too good to live in the White House.

    I'd like the Left to explain why their version of conscientious objectors should be protected, but ours not.
