Its basic good manners not to ask people to do something they dont think they can do. Theyre happier and youre happier if you find someone else who wants to do the job. You might call this anticipatory tolerance. Its one of the things that makes a diverse society work. I dont push you if I can help it, you dont push me if you can help it, and we can keep saying hello to each other when we pass on the street.
Not everyone does this. Bakers, wedding photographers and bed-and-breakfast owners, are being abused for declining to support causes and behaviors they cant support. Some homosexual activists, and their allies, cant leave them be.
I can understand being hurt or annoyed or even angry, but their reaction to disagreement is often excessive, even hysterical. The rest of us would just shrug and go to another baker or call another photographer. If a local baker has a big picture of Richard Dawkins in his window, Im not going to ask him to make a cake saying God Loves You! or Jesus is Lord or Atheism is stupid. I definitely wont ask him to do it and then sue him if he doesnt.

The ruling doesn't change my thoughts or actions. But, I have the ability to live independent of social interaction, if I choose.

And to think, fifty years ago the Hippie movement seized the sexual revolution and declared marriage to be outdated, old hat. Living together was the in thing! After all, a license was only a piece of paper unneeded if you truly loved someone!
Now marriage is the most important thing two (or more) people can engage in, but ONLY IF YOU ARE GAY!
Faggots know they’re reprobate. The meanest people I’ve ever seen were people motivated by guilt for their evil deeds.

Eventually even if you are Hermit they will come after you...
Especially if you are self sufficient...
Marriage is also a patriarchal oppressive institution for women. But only as regards heterosexual women and traditional marriage. The same people who say that marriage is oppressive to women insist that we must have homosexual marriage.
Gay families are so intolerant of procreation.
If I owned a business that made wedding cakes, I would make sure that the decoration of the cake included appropriate biblical verses prominently and beautifully integrated into the design. No custom cakes, ALL customers choose from a photo album showing options, so no one could claim discrimination.
Hi GraceG,
I’ve got good (loyal, honest, full of integrity) friends that are homosexuals. They tell me they respect me because I don’t compromise my disgust, but I still show them humanity. They know where I stand. Their chosen lifestyle is wrong, and I tell them so frequently. I’ve seen a few of them become rather mendacious with others that tell them how to live. So, I think it must be the way I say it, and that I will walk the words I speak.
They know, outside of their sexuality I will help them when needed.
I suppose I’ve always thought that I am heaping hot coals upon their heads with the kindness I show them.
Because it's not about tolerance, it's about ruling.
And they mean to rule.
Its cute how they say “can be”.
Liberalism is an inherently hateful philosophy because at its black heart, it relies on stealing from some of the population in everything it does.
Always been that way. Always will be that way. Homosexual “marriage” steals from God’s truth and steals religious freedom from those who know that immutable truth.
they behave like the mysoginist slob angry women do not love him.
Gays think they deserve the love they want. Truly these people are sick
