I wonder how many of those Christians would be okay if they were the ones being refused service because they're Christian. Oh right.. .they already bitch constantly about businesses not saying "merry Christmas" so we can tell how they'll react.
Personally, I think being a Christian is more comparable to being a White Supremacist than being transgender is. Especially since being a Christian is a choice, and a lot of Christians are white supremacists.
Lol, I'm not comparing the 2 at all, but ok. I'll know to ignore your posts to me on this.

The law is not based around "whatever", but instead on deeper meanings such as discrimination.
The baker should be entitled to bake. That alone is the point. When the baker includes politics, he includes his prejudice.
So does the law say a Baker is allowed to refuse services only to some causes/events and not others, and then list all the acceptable ones?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
