When I think of Christian bakers refusing to bake a cake for a homosexual couples and them being forced to be tolerant of the homosexual couple, I think: "doesn't freedom of speech give people the right not to say something?". Would we expect a homosexual baker to bake a cake with the words "god hates fags"? I guess it depends on the situation as to whether forcing tolerance is intolerant.
I think a lot of it is due to a push for political correctness, but then you start trying to censor people as to not hurt someone's feelings. Better just to let people be honest. If someone doesn't want to serve me a cake or whatever, I would want to know. I don't need a special exception. If someone discriminates, then I'll just as easily go find someone else who will take my money who I would probably rather give it to anyway. If someone doesn't like or agree with me for whatever reason, they would be the last person I would want making goods for me that I am about to consume. Of course now we have all the "set ups" when people create the situation on their own so they can gain attention or sue. More times than not, we end up with an edited video with the beginning and the end of the interaction cut off.
