[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL It is awfully hard to remember that tolerance  is a two-way  street, isn't  it? I agree with the governor  on that one. If people can't  get along, they should  be  allowed  to hate and discriminate  equally.

You wanted to excuse one group of people  from following  the  rules. Who's  to say another  group is less worthy? Own it, bitches.[/quote]

No, it isn't. I am not required to tolerate intolerance. I don't have to tolerate racism or sexism to be tolerant. If I support the rights of Jews to be allowed to shop without being subject to a curfew, for example, I'm not bound by my own logic to fight for the rights of KKK members to burn crosses. Business owners may really, really want to be able to discriminate against gay people through their businesses. That doesn't make it a "right," and prohibiting them from doing so is not "forcing" them to participate in anything, any more so than someone who joins a bowling league is forced to play with whoever else joins the league. Don't want to play with everyone? Don't join the league, or don't sell wedding cakes.

Seriously. Answer me this: if you don't want to ever participate in a gay wedding, why not just stop selling wedding cakes?  There. Done and done.

It's cute that you think you found the "gotcha" argument, though. [/quote]
