Be the free spirit I know you can be and definitely don't fill out those forms.Not the issue. Certain Christians want to discriminate against gays for "personal beliefs." If I don't file my 1099's or follow EPA codes should I be penalized even though they go against my personal beliefs?
I appreciate Henrin taking over for you because you feel stumped, but this was really meant for you.

Why do you believe the government should have the power to compel people to act when they committed no crime?
Why bother with courts and ****..
Death threats and calls for arson seem to have done the trick.
Mob justice works.
An interesting follow-up to that case. National Review
Soon enough it will be a crime. If you don't think lgbt's will be a Federally protected class in the foreseeable future you're living in a dreamland. At that point people will have to choose between a)staying in business or b)closing up shop.
Their choice.
I'm glad she's been suspended. What she did was disgraceful.
The newspaper also reported that the police department conducted an investigation and forwarded the case to the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office for possible charges, according to a statement.

I can't believe you didn't think this far ahead. It proves that your principles about personal or religious beliefs just smokescreens for your bigotry. Not that the rest of us ever doubted that for an instant.
I never cease to be amused by those who presume to tell others what their beliefs are. What incredible mind-reading powers you must have.
You apparently have forgotten the premise of these threads. I will permit you to go to the beginning and read through them again.
Well I should think suspension would be the least of what she would face. I learned in a law class that there is a small number of crimes you are legally permitted to kill someone for if you catch him in the act of committing them, and arson is one of them.
Seriously?
Just telling you what the law professor said. Some of the others are kidnapping, murder and rape, as I recall.
Damn interesting. I didn't know that.
Sorry, but no it isn't.
Refusing to serve 2 gay people who came in to the restaurant, sat down and ordered a pizza, is discriminating against gay people. Refusing to cater a gay wedding is refusing to take part in a ceremony that violates the religious tenets of most Christians, Muslims and Jews. It is the event that they refuse to take part in, not the serving of gay people.
Of course you know this, just like everyone knows this, whether they admit it or not.
The reality is, this is an assault against people of faith by the anti-religious bigots on the political left. They want to force them to either renounce their faith, violate their faith, or be financially destroyed if they refuse to comply. They are demonstrating exactly what hate, bigotry and intolerance looks like.
They CHOSE to go into business. No one is forcing them to open the business. But opening a business does not entitle anyone to write their own rules.
When I paint someone's portrait I don't think that I'm condoning, approving of or taking part in their life. To me that constitutes the highest order of arrogance
Speak for yourself regarding Christians. There are a whole lot of Christians who have no problem with gay marriage or homosexuality in general.
It's just the Evangelical Christians who have decided they have a personal connection with God, and that God doesn't like gay people. Arrogant, I know, but it's how they roll.
It's one of the beliefs they share with Muslim extremists. Birds of a feather, so to speak.
I know there are, but I was speaking to the ones that do find it sacrilegious. There particular beliefs should be respected.
Are you saying that the Muslim bakers in Dearborn, Michigan are Muslim extremists?

No, I'm saying Evangelical Christians have the same attitude towards homosexuality as do Muslim extremists. Fortunately for the rest of us, we haven't yet let them take over the country.
