If people want to be gay, then they can choose to be gay. Has nothing to do with me, and I don't go out of my way to make their lifestyle my business. If a gay baker didn't want to bake me a heterosexual cake, I would just tip my hat to them, leave, and move on to the next baker who would gladly take my money. No big deal. They didn't have to bake my cake, and I ended up getting it anyway from someone who wanted my business. Win for all parties involved and no tears necessary.
You don't seem to get it. Homosexuality is a protected state due to the historical oppression. People are now no longer allowed to oppress homosexuals and not baking a cake with homosexual messages is counted as oppression. What you are basically asking for is us to think its ok for you to continue the illegal practice of continuing to oppress people.
you want us to think its ok for you to continue to be horrible.
Well then go be a homosexual then. I'm not trying to oppress you. Not baking you a gay cake wouldn't violate your right to choose to be such, and your self-determination shouldn't be impaired by it. Likewise, others have a right to self-determination as well, which includes Christians, Muslims, Atheists, or whatever other demographic you choose to be a part of. If a KKK member wanted me to bake them a "hate cake" I would tell them the same thing. Go somewhere else. But equally so, they have the right to vote, be citizens, and to their own self-determination. As long as they aren't bothering directly me or anyone else, I could give a flip about what they think or do because it has nothing to do with me. It's too easy to find another bakery that will take your money. Why not go there and give your money to someone who agrees with you and is happy to bake you your cake as you would like it made?
