I just think it is morally wrong to force somebody to participate in an action that they believe is wrong. Would the gay couple try to a Islamic baker to make his cake? I doubt it, because of the religious backlash that would occur. Would you force a Jewish person to eat pork or work on the Sabbath? Probably not, it goes against what they believe.
I can see why they call you Teach

I don't think being gay is a choice, and I wouldn't support the right of a business not to serve someone just because they're gay.
However, refusing to perform a service specifically related to being gay (in this case, a gay wedding cake) should be the decision of the individual business owner.
That is:
- Refusing to serve gay people eating at your restaurant -> Shouldn't be allowed
- Refusing to prepare a wedding cake for a gay wedding -> Should be allowed
FYI I am fine with gay marriage, and if I ran a bakery, I would be happy to take business from anyone for any reason, regardless of the occasion for the cake.
Once again your right.. I'm not going to refuse to serve gay people and actually as a younger waiter I worked in a famous gay restaurant in the village. I gtd you one step as eaten there..(not joking) but doing a wedding or catering there events is forcing you to partake in there activities which is not constitutional... I would actually serve a gay wedding.. there fun and pay well but they can't force you to participate in there activities.. I'm all for "honest" diversity and tolerance..
I used to know a couple of straight dudes who used to bartend at Roxy, and purposely wore tight clothes and smiled a lot cause he knew he'd get 3x more tips from the gay crowd.
In general, gays have more money and a higher per capita income so if you are truly a businessman you would welcome such events.
Partake in their activities? No one is asking anyone to give lap dances or sing karaoke shirtless. That's just an asinine statement.
Catering there wedding is!!! I loved working in the village and Chelsea..got buku tips..They knew I was straight.. They love the straight one don't they one step.. They were really fun.. and if you flirt with them a little bit they would get all kinds of crazy..it was a fun crowd..
People seem to miss simple logic...
Gays have their right to their life of being with a partner of the same sex.
Religious people have their right to believe that being gay is a sin.
Gays are saying that religious people are intolerant, but gays are not tolerant AT ALL to their beliefs.
I went to a catholic college and I'm not religious at all or gay so I have no dog in this fight. It's just simple facts.
I have no problem with gay people but gay people and their supporters are COMPLETELY intolerant of other beliefs.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with fighting against beliefs you don't support, but there is absolutely something wrong with the government forcing you to accept beliefs you don't align with.
In the end, I have no problem with PEOPLE CHOOSING to put that cake business out of business. I do have a problem with the government FORCING them to do something against their beliefs.
If gays think that business is so evil, then let them operate as they wish freely and they will put themselves out of business. If they don't go under, then there are apparently a lot of people who share their beliefs AND THAT IS OK! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FREE COUNTRY, MEANING YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICES, NOT BE FORCED TO ACCEPT OTHERS BELIEFS.
FUCK IT, WHY DON'T WE JUST FORCE EVERYBODY INTO CATHOLICISM?
