Poll: 85% support right for religious to refuse to work for gay wedding
Modern Topics ^

Posted on 07/23/2013 10:01:26 PM PDT by freshlook

A heartening poll by Rasmussen shows 85 percent of Americans believe Christian wedding photographers have the right to refuse to service a gay wedding. In a country that increasingly forgets the value of free speech, it’s surprisingly refreshing to see a strong majority in the right column.

The same applies, of course, to wedding cake bakers. Hopefully the memo reaches David Mullins and Charlie Craig, who have enlisted the help of the ACLU to sue a Denver, CO bakery for allegedly refusing a cake for their wedding. “The complaint seeks to force Masterpiece Cakeshop to “cease and desist” the practice of refusing wedding cakes for gay couples, and to tell the public that their business is open to everyone,” reports FOX News. “If [the defendant] loses the case and refuses to comply with the order, he would face fines of $500 per case and up to a year in jail, his attorney said.”

Sister of your “bud” is an idiot. And if she called other shops, she is a double idiot. Some of the shops will laugh all the way to the bank. There is no fellows in the business. I’m a contractor and gay people one of my best costumers. Never argue about a price and easy to work with. Live and let live.

No, my sister’s bud is a great person as she unlike you, didn’t want to cater to fudgepackers. Her choice, just like you having to deal with sick homos. Good luck on your faggy contractor job, fag lover.

Ten years? ... Naw, the collapse will snowball so fast you won’t believe it! All it takes is enough violence by the professional rioters/flashmobs that trucks stop delivering and the whole system shuts down within a few days. The stores will be raided and emptied before fedzilla will be able to put their armor int he streets. And when the armor starts rolling it will be into the burbs to collect rations fro distribution to the vermin in the cities.

You are nothing but “trailer trash”.:-)

As proven by human history, if you hate someone, based on gender or race, you, most likely, have something to hide..:-)))

Which proves they never really “loved” each other as much as they hated Christ, His teachings and the true members of His church.

Is Freedom involuntary? How about Liberty, is that involuntary? The original price was paid in full, for the short term. During the draft years, you could always opt out. Has slavery ever offered that option?

How does involuntary military service not qualify as being compelled to work?

Is Freedom involuntary? How about Liberty, is that involuntary? The original price was paid in full, for the short term.

I didn't comment on whether or not involuntary military servitude is a proper public policy, but rather simply noted that it does compel citizens to work.

(For the record, though, I am it)

During the draft years, you could always opt out. Has slavery ever offered that option?

Even if one were to "opt out" of the draft (I presume you're speaking of declaring one's self a conscientious objector), one was still forced to work for the government in a non-combat role. If the objector refused to do so, he was thrown in jail. Thus, the draft is an example of the State forcing people to work, is it not?

Is there any way to edit one's posts?
