Refusing to bake a cake for Nazis or white supremicists means taking a stand against bigotry and prejudice.
Refusing to bake a cake for LGBTQ2S customers means taking a stand in favour of bigotry and prejudice.
Stop being distracted by the details. Are you for or against behaviour that entrenches discriminatory behaviour against minority groups as defined by law?
All else is irrelevant distraction.
That post was literally NOT addressing nazis or gays lol. It was literally about the stuff in between.
Anyway, there is no distraction, as I personally wouldn't have a problem making a gay wedding cake. It isn't about that. What I'm trying to show here, is that when we start legally forcing people to make cakes to celebrate events/causes they strongly oppose, we start running into problems.
Well...... golly gee, Polly..that's exactly why we have civil rights laws! We shouldn't need to have them, people shouldn't be recalcitrant douchenozzles...but they are.
