You progressives just want to control people because there simply isn't a societal injustice here that needs to be corrected.

But they can't necessarily easily find the goods and services they need.  They will be unfairly burdened by that.

This is just Jim Crow again.

This has never been demonstrated to be true in the case of gays finding bakers or photographers for their weddings.  This is and has always been about making the occasional baker or photographer behave they way you want him to behave because you don't like his beliefs.

With the "religious freedom law" you can't. 

In court, they can say, "I found out at the last minute it was a gay wedding and my religious beliefs wouldn't allow for it."

Court asks the plaintiff, "Did you ask if this was a gay wedding?  If it was really that important to you, why didn't you ask?"  I don't believe this laws allows you to breach a contract.  It allows you to not enter a contract.

The reason this law exists is because people were being forced to service gay weddings against their morality.  Now it would be one thing if gays were shut out of the market and denied these services.  But there was no desperate impact and thus no need for the courts to compel individuals to do things against their will. 

Again, you progressives just want to force people to behave the way you think they should behave.  Your not any different than  slave owners as far as I am concerned.
