You think we should enact laws allowing discrimination against gays in public accommodations?

How about a baker who doesn’t want to bake a cake for an interracial couple? I suppose we should make sure a baker has that right, too.

The law is very vaguely written. If the baker can claim their religious rights have been burdened or might be burdened by providing services to an interracial couple then the law must protect them. So in your scenario, if the baker is a member of white supremacist Christian Identity church then they could, in theory, claim that and could be protected by the law.

Your comment about “wholesale discrimination” has no relation to the reality of what this law does. Can’t believe I have to suggest this to someone here, but try reading it first and then form your opinion instead of just parroting what you’ve heard from celebrities and liberal activists.

He should absolutely have that right. I dispute the claim that a bakery is a public accommodation. The fact of the matter is, one would be very hard pressed to find a baker who would act in such a way. Hearts have changed on the racial issues.

And the fact that you bring that angle into discussion reinforces you as a useful idiot. (btw, that is an historical category. I did not make it up.)
