It never had a chance anyway. They couldn't muster enough support to pass it in 2004 when gay marriage was the signature issue. Only a cynical politician trying to cobble together a loose association of fanatics to fund-raise would come up with that one.
When people are being told to either: "Give up their religious beliefs, or give up their business." Then that is persecuting someone based on their religious beliefs.
The intolerance demonstrated by some of those in the homosexual community is astounding. They successfully established anti-bullying campaigns in the public schools yet use the government to bully those who don't support their lifestyles and choices. Absolutely astoundingActually it kinda is what you are suggesting, Vylo.
The fact some homosexuals consider themselves to be Christian, doesn't change the fact that according to the religion they claim to be a part of, homosexual behavior is considered sinful.
If the baker refused to bake say cookiees for some generic celebration because the person making the request happened to be gay, then the baker would be practicing discrimination towards gays.
However, this is over the baking of a cake to be used for a specific event that celebrates and "legitimizes" a behavior that the baker considers to be sinful due to his religion. So by not finding fault with how the baker was treated, you are essentially saying that African American bakers should be forced to bake cakes for KKK induction ceremonies.
Okay back up a second, is Atheism a religion or isn't it, cause I've heard people try to have it both ways.
Then I guess African American bakers need to start baking cakes for KKK induction ceremonies. You can't have it both ways, Vylo.
What religion, or lack thereof, are people being forced to convert to or from to keep their businesses?
You could bake a cake and stick it in a display and someone could buy it and use it in some child molesting criminal orgy and you would never know. But to celebrate a marriage between two adults...horrors.
When people are being told to either: "Give up their religious beliefs, or give up their business." Then that is persecuting someone based on their religious beliefs.
Agreed. The Free Market can do this much more efficiently.When you tell someone that they have to do something that violates their core religious beliefs, or they have to give up their business, then that persecution.
But would you force someone to specifically bake a cake meant to celebrate a child molesting orgy?

You feel that having to abide by the law means you are "bullied"?

It is in some states. In most others, it is no longer the law due to bullying
