As far as I know, the people in this case were prepared to serve the gay couple. It was a specific product they were not willing to sell.
Do you consider it a fundamental human right to compel people to do something they do not want to do? If not, why do you keep banging on about the rights of one side?
Should we be allowed to compel a halal butcher to serve bacon at a pagan wedding?
Should we be allowed to compel a catering company and its employees to turn up and serve food at an orgy?
Why are you unable to appreciate the rights implications for both groups of people
exactly everything seems so one sided...
it wont stop at cakes...what if a gay couple wish to hire the hall for their reception in a church hall....
why should anyone be FORCED into accepting that order for fear of litigation.? ..
its supposed to be a give and take world...80% of people voted and most voted for this legislation....
they did not vote to create another minority group..
who are expected to put all their religious beliefs aside.. for fear of being sued out of business.
what good does that achieve... more disent more hatred we dont need...
Gay people took the country to task asking for a fair deal..... well now the boot is on the other foot....a minority group is asking for a fair deal...
there are plenty of cake makers.. and plenty of churches.....it will I am sure only be a small group that will not accept these orders...
like not going to war because you do not believe in killing...its allowed...and so it should be!
