[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]You are grasping at straws. You are allowed to be wrong once in a while, you know.

I never asked for your opinion of the source. Don't know the source, don't care. I was interested in your opinion on reverse discrimination demonstrated by gays in this and similar cases.

The suggestion of difference between straight and gay weddings isn't mine. The distinction is in the eyes of those to whom these things are different. It is their right to hold that belief to their hearts' content. You need to either accept it or stop claiming being accepting and tolerant while preaching to others.[/quote]

I am grasping at straws? Is that supposed to be some form of irony? You are really incredible. You posted a link and asked for my take on it. Now you are completely distancing yourself from the link. It's as if the link appeared in your post by some new type of immaculate conception. Please, in the future, don't waste my time like this. If you can't be bothered to find a source that you are prepared to stand behind, don't ask my take on it.

Your final paragraph is an almost farcical example of the "you refuse to tolerate their intolerance" position. If there are companies that believe that providing services for straight weddings is a different business than providing services to gay weddings, I don't have to accept that. I don't have to accept it anymore than I would accept restaurants that believe serving food to white people is a different business than selling food to black people. Both of those are simply semantic games. If I have any intolerance, it is for using language to disguise and hide bigotry.

You actually have not provided a clear cut example of reverse discrimination. You provided a link that you have now backed away from and that link didn't provide and example in any case. Maybe put a bit more effort into this next time.
