Can you guys believe this is where we're at with entitlement in this country? "I am entitled to the cakes you make!"

Holy shit we have regressed horribly.


Yes, customers are allowed to use businesses open to the public. How horribly regressive.

Do you understand the difference between this and gay people being denied service exclusively for being gay?

You're actually discriminating against the baker's religious beliefs.


No, the baker's religious beliefs are factually not being discriminated against.

They factually are.

I think businesses not being able to refuse service based on things like sexual orientation and race is a massive progression from old times


Why does everything have to be tied to laws in terms of how we measure and reward progress? IMO it's a disgusting and costly habit.


Because people like you exist. That's why we need the laws.


Lol okay

Reality is preferable to the ancap utopia of yours anyways. Better that laws force bakeries to treat everyone equally than have an angry bunch of gay people hire a private military firm to burn the bakery to the floor.

Okay, now we have a problem that laws are forcing people to do business with everyone when some people might not want to. How do we fix that? If you say we don't, then you're just saying "I got what I want, fuck racists and homophobes".

You do have access to goods. Go to the source of them. Buy your own ingredients. Make them. Perform your own services. Those are OTHER people's goods and services. You don't own them.

So you want the Jim Crow days back is what youre really saying? Cause thats basically what the people who participated said as well. Why do gay people deserve to be treated any differently cause my god says so? Its not harming anything to sell them a fucking wedding cake. Certainly not what god thinks of you.

Gunpoint is a huge figurative exaggeration. It's absurd.

Merely opening a storefront does not entitle anyone to your property. You still have property rights.

Or do you not understand the fundamentals of a free market?

I don't care. The reason the laws exist is because people like you and others of worse mentality. And smarter people than you have voted for, and upheld, these laws. So grow up and deal with it.

I agree 100%. They chose to participate in the economy when they opened a public-facing business, at which point they lose the right to decide who they do and do not conduct business with.

If you're arguing the baker is in the wrong, you're doing EXACTLY that.


is factually wrong.

Merely opening a storefront does not entitle anyone to your property. You still have property rights.

Or do you not understand the fundamentals of a free market?


Do you not understand how businesses work? You still have to comply with the law. A complete free market where the company controls all aspects of business doesn't, has will never, exist in this country.

I agree with Trevor on the first two points.

They chose to participate in the economy when they opened a public-facing business, at which point they lose the right to decide who they do and do not conduct business with.

Gunpoint is a huge figurative exaggeration. It's absurd.

On the third, if you wish to run a business you must treat protected classes equally.

So at no point is a business owner allowed to refuse service to anyone?

Never said that.
