If you would refuse to make a cake, sign, poster, whatever the service you provide because it says 'god hates fags' or has a klan symbol on it because you disagree with the message or intent but you would provide the service for a gay couples marriage then you have selectively discriminated because of your own opinion or bias. You don't get to pick and chose which part of the public you serve it's all or none.

You are so far off here, you're not even wrong Lordquinton Sep 2015 #39
Not from where I'm sitting Leontius Sep 2015 #40
Those are all just words coming from you, no meaning Lordquinton Sep 2015 #41
No I'm calling your defense of discrimination disgusting Leontius Sep 2015 #43
So you're defending someone who wanted to discriminate against discrimination? Lordquinton Sep 2015 #44
I'm "yelling" at someone who does not support equal protection of the law for all people. Leontius Sep 2015 #45
You should be ashamed of yourself! What is wrong with you? cleanhippie Sep 2015 #55

They are determined to have special rights for Christians. drm604 Sep 2015 #2
What special right would that be? NT mahatmakanejeeves Sep 2015 #5
The right to not have to follow the same rules as everyone else. drm604 Sep 2015 #7
No, it isn't. Please read the flyer. NT mahatmakanejeeves Sep 2015 #12
Sorry. I don't get your point. drm604 Sep 2015 #14
I did read the flyer. Promethean Sep 2015 #27
What happens if Office Depot says that they have religious objections to such graphic hate speech? drm604 Sep 2015 #6
This is worse. It has a corporate objection. rug Sep 2015 #8
It's neither graphic nor hate speech. NT mahatmakanejeeves Sep 2015 #13

Skirmishes like this can blow up quickly. rug Sep 2015 #32
What are your thoughts on this manner? Lordquinton Sep 2015 #35
Rephrase your question without inaccurate assumptions if you want an answer. rug Sep 2015 #37
So you are claiming the flier wasn't full of hate and lies? Lordquinton Sep 2015 #38
So, are you claiming commercial printers should print only material that is full of love and truth? rug Sep 2015 #47
Man, you do anything to defend your faith Lordquinton Sep 2015 #58
And you will do anything to advance your hatred of it. rug Sep 2015 #59

It must remain legal. rug Sep 2015 #67
Thanks for the clear answer, Curmudgeoness Sep 2015 #68
