So many people only say this because they don't want a lynch mob.
While it is my opinion the only reason i added it was because i knew people would jump straight on the insults for daring not agree 100% with the ruling
So many people only say this because they don't want a lynch mob.
Why?
I'm totally not gay, but I'm cool with gay rights.
No it doesn't
The rights of homosexuals haven't forced the religious to contravene their religion. They are free to be as not-gay as they like.
No it isn't. Not all people who are against gays, or gay marriage want to actually remove the rights of people. Some just dislike it and won't acknowledge that it's "real" marriage. There doesn't have to he a hate component.
Often there is, but that isn't a prerequisite.
Additionally, I doubt they are actually fearful of gays.
Well the bakery did not contravene the rights of the gay guy. He could continue being gay and even make his own gay cake.
There is a term for it, white privilege.
you're not a practicing Christian who has a dogma which declares it to be wrong.

No it's not. They don't have the same rights as a private citizen, they opened a shop that serve the public, they CANNOT by LAW discriminate against people.
There are. a person's sexuality is protected. You cannot discriminate on the grounds of sexuality
It's not a racist term you are thinking of white supremacists, I'm also white...so....The term 'white privilege' is racist. You are a racist.
They aren't a private business. They are a chain that serves the public, the same public who are protected by equality laws. Christ.There seems to be a massive misunderstanding. A private business is not a public service. Business usually have the right of admission reserved and have the right to do business with whoever they want, historically. It is only a recent development thanks to SJW types that has led to this new trend of claiming that business owners don't have the right to discriminate. In fact business owners discriminate constantly. When selecting suppliers, when deciding on the look for their business. When deciding what employees to hire. The difference is that certain characteristics are some how more important than others. While it is ok to discriminate against some one with tattoos or piercing apparently it is not acceptable to discriminate against someone who likes homosexual sex. While I think that is completely irrational and ridiculous, many people don't and this is where we disagree.
If they aren't against gays why are they against gay marriage, it makes no difference in their lives. People just say that to try and avoid backlash.
No one said they are fearful of gays, language is adapted to fit the times, being homophobic doesn't mean they are afraid of gays.

Lol of course you can if the sexuality in question is criminal.
Private business can and do serve the public. It doesn't make them a public service. The police, for example, are a public service.

Correct that you can, though we should examine the morality of whether we should.
Being gay was once illegal, after all.
Should we discriminate against paedophiles, and those who support paedos? Well yes, we should - there is provable actual harm which comes from their actions, harm which is not willingly shouldered by the recipient - they don't consent.
You believe white people have inherent privilege. This is racist.
Fair enough but they are still governed by equality laws....
