How did this "discussion" turn into another business right to discriminate thread? Last time I checked the OP was about some dumbass making yet another unfounded claim about the reasons for being gay and not some bakery baking some cake.

"Gays", as a group, already -are- protected by law....the same laws that you are protected by. That we need to explicitly single them (and other groups) out so that simpletons like you realize that these laws are meant to apply to them as well is endemic to the problem - namely..that you failed to realize that no one needs to be fucking singled out for equal protection under law...until they come into contact with nitwits such as yourself.
Try again.
Yeah....because I value the right to self determination I am a simpleton and nitwit.
Your just engaging in more demonization of the people who don't share your values. You will do whatever it takes to force your values and opinions on others. You are a peice of shit.

Seems that some parties thought they could avoid the bigot brush by pretending they had some right to discriminate, that's how. Plus, it was a chance to play the persecution card......and that wasn't going to get left on the table unused in present company...now was it?

The one doing the drifting are you. Because you already admitted to not find any sane arguments for the OPs claim.

You have no right to self determination if others can openly discriminate against you...you do understand that, right Heywood? You;re a nitwit not because you value what I value (I value self determination a great deal)..but because you do not understand what you claim to value....and, in fact, because you do not value it -at all-.
What you value, as very plainly expressed in this thread....is the opportunity to say bigoted things, and advocate for bigoted positions, whilst avoiding the label bigot. Too bad, no dice. I don't get it, I honestly don't. I've known a great many bigots in my life, most of family (remember where I'm from)..and it isn't a deal-breaker for me. Still love em, still respect them. They, however..unlike yourself.....own their bigotry. Wear it right there on their sleeves. They don't make excuses. They don't obfuscate.
I think that you outta try that sometime, if altering your position is out of the question. If you can find the time between shitposts to actually consider the contents of any thread you participate in.

If people have the "right to discriminate" then in fact no one has any rights of fair treatment.
That's why discrimination should not be a right in any civilised country, it should be something to be actively fought against.

Actually, enforcing equal treatment in the public sphere is not in order to "prevent butthurt".
A society that allows bigotry in the public realm is inherently more unstable, and this is borne out by history, including our own.
Asserting as you have that it is about "preventing butthurt", or that equal treatment laws are attempts to impose social views, is not only inaccurate, but also evidence of a shallow thought-process.

Equal treatment means the government should force a baker to bake a cake that reads, "God hate fags" lest the homophobe not be served.
Are you ready for that?

Are you ready for that? So long as the government forces homophobic baker to bake a cake that reads "homophobes go to hell"
Every time it appears woody has reached the lowest possible depth of imbecilic bigotry he redoubles his digging.
