[quote=takoma][quote=takoma]Remembering that it is not so long since being gay was a crime, as it still is in many places in the world, we have made so much progress that I don't see it as a major sacrifice to go easy on those bakers and similar business people who serve gays, but find it hard to participate directly in gay wedding ceremonies. There are still states that have no anti-discrimination laws at all about gays, so this narrow class of situations seems to me to be a silly place to draw the battle lines, rather than putting full energy where general anti-gay discrimination is still legal. I do understand the argument that allowing discrimination of any sort encourages discrimination -- but I disagree with that argument in this particular case, because I think there are people of good will whose sympathy is being lost.[/quote] Slight addition to my earlier argument: fighting this battle brings out the worst in people, as evidenced by this thread.[/quote]
