Indiana's Govenor Signs 'Religious Freedom' Bill

People like DP don't like people that think homosexuality is wrong.  They want to impose their will on them and make them service clientele they don't want to service. Forcing someone to service another against their will is a denial of thier freedom.  It is slavery.

So you completely ignored my post trying to explain the issue to you, I see, and instead attributed something completely different to me. I'm trying to assume you're not lying right now. Just letting you know. Hope you can clear this little maneuver up for me. 

But in case you do need me to repeat:

I can assure you there is no army of gay couples who are going out of their way to search for Christian bigots who they know already hate them and force them to bake their food and take their pictures at their wedding. I don't know if you've ever been married yourself but I can tell you that the last thing you want is someone who's not completely into their part of the job working for you on that most important day. You want a photographer who's enthusiastic about taking the right pictures. You want a baker who will happily bake you the best cake you've ever had. You specifically do not want someone who feels like they're forced to be there doing whatever critical component to the big day might be. 

However, at the same time, you don't have the option of just "finding someone else" at the 11th hour. if the baker backs out on the contract at the last minute, your only option really is the grocery store for your wedding cake. If the photographer decides to be a no-show because of his/her precious religious beliefs, your only option is to hope everyone else brought a camera and someone in the crowd takes some decent photos. 

Is this penetrating your thick skull? 

This is not about "controlling people" and "slavery". This is about contracts and being responsible when making them and taking responsibility for the contracts you've already agreed to. You might think that Jesus will save your soul from Hell but he should not allow you to back out of a contract for services on this earth at the last minute because you just found out this is a gay wedding. 

And if you do, your sanctimonious ass should be sued because you not only reneged on your contract at the last minute but you ruined someone's wedding day. 

Clear?
