Your statements lack consistency. A gay wedding cake may be against your personal beliefs, but it does not equate to the hateful examples you offered.
Your correct, the analogy's are poor examples....I was going towards the having to do things against your beliefs, and the nanny state we have in this country....I don't think we need to go to court to get a cake made, when shop "A" says they don't want to make the cake, just go to shop "B", as simple as that...if Wedding band "a" doesn't want to play, just get band "b"....simple, no need for the million dollar court case over a cake...
I apologize if I appeared to be making it hateful(I really wasn't)...I have no issues with gay marriage...I just don't see why it's an issue if a business declines to participate...just take your money elsewhere and don't shop there again...
Here's a better example... What if a gay couple wanted cigars with specially printed bands for their wedding?
If they go to Don Joe to get them made, but he didn't want to make them due to his beliefs.....why wouldn't you just go down the street to Don Schmo's and have them made....why would you need to go to court and drag it out for years?
I should have thought a little more about the examples I used...Again, I'm sorry if I made it seem like I was equating Gay Marriage with Hitler....my bad
