I'm a progressive and don't hold to that belief. I believe forcing people into adopting or even expressly accepting a particular lifestyle is wrong.
This is the only thing I know about your positions so I would classify you as libertarian.
People should be free to behave the way they want unless there is a real compelling interest otherwise. When society as a whole begins to deny gays access to goods and services, that could be a compelling interest. When it is just an occasional baker or photographer that doesn't want to service the gay community....that isn't a compelling interest.
Forcing an individual baker to service a market segment that is being serviced is simply imposing your morality on him or her.
I am a Democratic Socialist more in line with the Green Party. I was categorized as a Libertarian at one point, but that was many years ago when I was in college.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
