These people do not understand that the Supreme Court did not say that it’s OK to discriminate against gay people. What they said, was that a business and not be compelled to perform a service. In this case, the service is producing cakes with a gay wedding theme. If a straight couple who are friends with, a gay couple that was about to be “married,“ walked into that cake shop and asked for a gay themed cake, they would not get it. Note that they are not gay. It isn’t the person who’s being discriminated against, it is the activity in which individuals or businesses have the liberty to not engage.
Where are you would have discrimination is if the cake shop sold birthday cakes, just a standard “happy birthday, Timmy“ type of cake, and only sold it to people who were straight. A gay couple, or a gay person can walk into that cake shop and ask for such a cake, and receive it. They are not being discriminated against because they are gay, it is the cake itself that is being “discriminated against.” Freedom of speech necessarily includes the right, not to speak, and since speech also includes printing, and other forms of communication, including artwork, there is a right to not produce something that you don’t want to produce, which is absolutely necessary for a full and complete right to freedom of speech.
Yup. I posted somewhere else (don't really remember where...) that you cannot compel a business to perform a service for you if they do not perform that service at all, for anyone. Libs just like to twist words....
BEST explanation in a very long time.
THANK YOU.
Go to a Jewish or Muslim caterer and tell them you want pulled pork sandwiches at your reception and see what they say. Then ask your liberal friends or family members their opinion. Watching the mental gymnastics is entertaining. I’ve done it. You sit and wait for the smoke to come from their ears before the brain completely shuts down.
