Hmmmm since you are not comparing apples and apples....

Being part of the KKK one would NEVER EVER ask an African American baker to do anything for them.

It is not explicitly stated in Jewish theology that one should not bake a cake for someone who hates you. And again no neo-NAZI would ever ask a Jew to bake for him.

Why shouldn’t a homosexual bake a cake for a Christian celebration?

Why shouldn’t a Christian baker bake a cake for a homosexual wedding?

Business is business. Baking a cake in exchange for money is what a baker does. It hardly violates their beliefs to do so with two male figures on top of the cake. Does this bake routinely ask if the couple getting married has had sex before marriage? Or if they are devout Christians? or if they are unequally yoked? Or if they have been living in sin before the nuptials?

Selective theology is a bad thing

>> Why shouldn’t a Christian baker bake a cake for a homosexual wedding?

Why should any particular Christian baker BE FORCED TO bake a cake for a homo?

Can’t the faggot just find a different baker to cater to his perversion?

It is not about whether clients or customers are sinners. It’s about being forced to denigrate what to many religious people is a sacrament and one of the pillars of civilization. What’s so hard to understand?

Good point. I remember here in Houston when the coach of The Rice University football team ruffled some feathers by saying he didn't want homosexuals on the football team. He gave as his reason that 'homosexuality is a sin'. However, I wondered at the time if he had a problem with the likely sin of his straight players having premarital sex with young co-eds.

...well, because they don’t feel like doing so...which is the issue here, that the baker is being challenged on a business decision that is not impinging on the lesbians’ opportunity to have the cake produced at some other bakery...that it has come to the point when a bill is required to allow a business to make business decisions, good or bad, without facing undue government suasion, is insane...

"No Nazi would ask a Jew to bake a cake"

How the heck do you know? But it doesn't have to be Jews. Many people dislike Nazis and would normally have nothing to do with them. But under this new law, whoever ran the bakery would have to bake the Nazi cake whether they detested the Nazis or not. Pandora's box.

Have you taken upon yourself to decide what violates other's beliefs?

Tell us more...

The Right to Conscience, Freedom of Thought and Belief are fundamental human rights. The Constitutional answer is liberty. Everyone discriminates, why can’t business people?

As a Catholic, I am forbidden from attending the wedding of any baptized Catholic who remarries without having the first marriage annulled to prevent the scandal of "endorsing" the remarriage.

That's why a Christian baker shouldn't bake a cake for a homosexual wedding.

Its still not discrimination to refuse to support and participate in an activity (gay wedding) that is against one’s long recognized and sincerely held religious beliefs. If one refused to make any kind of cake for a gay person that would be discrimination. You miss the entire point by thinking that is what we are discussing here. It’s being against gay marriage that is the issue...the issue is not being against gays.

You either need to wise up or get off this board.

“Why shouldn’t a Christian baker bake a cake for a homosexual wedding?”

Maybe because they don’t want to. Should they be forced to bake a cake for one of the those Muslim pedo-weddings?

I’m not sure I understand where religion comes into this. Why is the baker REQUIRED to serve anyone at all? Is a wedding cake from the baker of your choice now a fundamental right under the Constitution? The baker is not free in this scenario.

Two male figures on a cake in tuxedos holding hands doesn't?

Why shouldn’t a Christian baker bake a cake for a homosexual wedding?

Because they are being forced to participate in an event they find sinful.

Or do you think those with pacifistic religious beliefs should have been forced into the Vietnam war though the draft? Do you think the Amish should be forced to participate in the ACA? Do you think pro-lifers operating pharmacies should be forced to sell abortion pills?
