No, you remain confused, and you persist in arguing against a position I have not taken. I have made NO claims about businesses discriminating against gays. I have described sex discrimination. And if a business refuses to serve a customer because of that customer's sex compared to somebody else's sex, that…

I would not be upset about any of this. It's not a matter of emotion but of logical application of public policy to business practice. You seem to be confusing an aversion to gayness with sex discrimination. Who the customer might like to fuck is not relevant to the issue. If the baker's premise is that he won't…

I have no idea what you are going on about with your "mislabeling public expectations" complaints. Of course I am talking about laws. There are laws that prohibit businesses operating in the public sphere from perpetrating sex discrimination.

Consider this, which might help you understand: A couple does not have…

No, it's not a matter of confusing sex with gender. If you bake cakes as a business in the public sphere and you say some variation of "I refuse to serve you because your genitals are the same as this other person's genitals" you are perpetrating sex discrimination. If the couple was one man and one woman, the baker…

Not true. A businessperson can try to refuse service "for any reason" but a customer can still file a discrimination complaint about that business. If you refuse to serve certain people because of a characteristic of their humanity, such as their race or their sex compared to another person's sex, you are…

Nah, there is no way to show "hard documented proof" of any religious belief. If you refer to a religious text as the document, such as the Bible for example, then a business using that text to refuse to serve a same-sex couple on religious grounds must also refuse to serve a divorced person, a tattooed person, and…

Yes. If the baker makes decorated wedding cakes in a public business, the baker is perpetrating discrimination by refusing to serve a same-sex couple. If the baker does not routinely stock same-sex cake toppers, the baker can in all fairness not provide such a thing. A baker may also reserve the right to design as…

Yes. If you refuse to serve certain people because of a characteristic of their humanity, such as their race or their sex compared to another person's sex, you are perpetrating discrimination because the customer cannot choose that characteristic. If you refuse to serve a person because they are not wearing the…

Your should re-read my post more carefully. I do not suggest there is a federal law protecting gay people from being refused service or that sexual orientation isn't a protected class.

The line is clear: whether you're a sole proprietorship or a massive corporation, if you want to perpetrate discrimination, close up shop and run a private club instead.

Let's make this simple for the stupid people. If you operate a business in the public sphere thereby enjoying government protections, you may NOT refuse to serve customers because of their innate characteristics, such as their sex compared to somebody else's sex. That is SEX DISCRIMINATION. However, if somebody ask…

SkyMall: For people with more money than sense.

R.B.G. can do whatever the fuck she wants.

Republican Governor Bobby Jindal was stupid on Twitter, and it's been up for three hours.

Thinking of someone compassionately is a nice thing to do.

I'm not sure how strangers praying will help her with that.

And what does the prayer do? Convince the god to give the kid permanent amnesia? How about instead of praying, make a donation to a nonprofit community mental health provider in their town.

Why are we praying for them, exactly? Did the neighbor say? I will assume we should pray that they are never again SO FUCKING STUPID as to fail to control their firearms.
