Hypocrite Liberals imposing their beliefs

There's a solution for that: don't bake any wedding cakes. That way you won't run afoul of anti-discrimination laws, and you won't be risking your conscience. I mean, there's no requirement that you make wedding cakes, but there is a requirement that whatever products you do sell, you need to sell to everyone that wants one. There's a reason for those laws, they protect all of us, and you don't get to pick and choose which ones apply to you when their blanket nature is the whole point.

Just stop baking wedding cakes, if you're not confident in your ability to bake wedding cakes for all your customers. It's that easy.

You mentioned the Colorado bakery that got fined in a gay marriage dispute in your first post... you are aware that they weren't fined for not making the cake, right? They were fined because they retaliated to a formal complaint against them by posting the personal details of the gay couple online without their consent and incited harassment against them from other christians, up to and including threatening their children. That payout was due to the mental anguish the couple suffered for the baker's actions unrelated to cakes.

Quote: Thus, I want some support for my Liberty of Conscience rights. Its a tricky issue. I came here to vent this issue and get support but no support except for two nice dudes (thanx @homeless nutter)

You have your freedom of beliefs, but those don't trump every other law. Your religious freedoms have never extended to what you're allowed to do with your business, so you're asking for support for a right you never had.
