| Topic | High Court To Hear Case Of Cake Shop That Refused To Bake For Same-Sex Wedding |
| Anarchy_Juiblex 06/27/17 11:05:13 AM #30: | Not really sure how to structure my point so I'm just going to toss out some thoughts. Been arguing for gay marriage since I've been on this site, one of the main points if that it wouldn't involve unwilling participants (sans govt. officials required to sign the docs), specifically religious holy men. Maybe this is a slippery slope argument but still. Lawrence Krauss of all people, perhaps miss-articulating his point, seemed to think that is the path we should* go down. (can't source, dude doesn't have a video less than 1 hr long on yt) Christians, gay or not, presumably have a genuine, yet irrational fear of hell. This fear is no less something we should submit them to than any other phobic with their phobia. Christians not wanting to bake a cake for a gay wedding, their feelings, fears, are no less important than the gays to be wed. Shutting down otherwise successful businesses, isn't good for gay rights, individual rights, lgbt relations, the economy, fucking anything. It's divisive and shitty. Those people were looking for a fight. Not for a cake. --- "Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice." ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali ... Copied to Clipboard! |
