I think you are misconstruing what it is that I was saying which is fine but let me try to clarify, the laws are designed so that if you're a business vs a church, you are not allowed to discriminate. Sure people do it often, but no its not legal and I am all for that. Churches can play the freedom of religion card, and that's fine, that's why were all here in the first place. But a business cannot. Obviously some situations will come up, and be totally bullshit sure.. but in general it seems that ALL of those situations revolve around a black person or a gay, or a minority group having their rights stripped from them, as opposed to some christian that hates a group of people and they feel oppressed because they want to discriminate freely.

In the case of the bakery, there were dozens of alternatives. The couple lost nothing by being denied service. Their feelings were hurt, and that's it. In fact, the end result of the case was exactly the same as if they had been refused service without suing or had never found the bakery. The bakery closed down without giving them a cake!

What I think is equally as crazy is the government forcing me to do something I disagree with. Especially if I'm not receiving tax free status, government funding, etc. Should you QQ at the government forcing someone to do something against their beliefs? Absolutely. I can only imagine the outrage if/when the pendulum swings the other way. Do you think government would force an atheist to bake me a cake that says "Jesus is the one and only Savior"? Can you imagine the outrage? He should have his right to say, "no thanks, that's really not something I would like to do". At which point I should shop/find someone else to vote for with my dollars.

The Federal Civil Rights Act guarantees all people the right to "full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin." I still don't really know what you're talking about with compelled speech ill admit, you have to be more clear. But I think you're wasting your energy fighting for shit that doesn't need fighting for. But whatever helps you sleep at night. | |||
