This whole we aren't discriminating against homosexuals because we are outlawing everyone from ssm not just homosexuals has already been tried in Lovings V. Virginia except they said they weren't violating equal protections bc they were banning all people from marrying interracially not just black people. It was shot down by the US Supreme Court then and it should be shot down again now.
Baking and photography are basic rights under the ninth amendment....remember...pursuit of happiness...it means anything your want it to mean.
A judge could easily rule that a bakers pursuit of happiness is sufficient cause for him to refuse to serve gay weddings.
If the baker own his own shop then he is perfectly within his rights to refuse a gay couple service, infact he can deny anyway for pretty any reason he wants. Mind you i think it damn stupid, I would disagree with peole refusing service to gay weddings, but people have their beliefs however backwards and I can force my beliefs on others
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
