My question is when did sexual orientation become the basis of doing business? Am I now going to have to declare that I am straight before I place an order? What is different about baking a cake for a straight couple than for a gay couple? The little statue on the top? So tell the couples (both) that you don't want to put the statue on the top and let the couples handle it themselves? It's not like a gay couple is wanting an objectionable "graphic" on the cake. It just smacks of the same kind of discrimination that this country used to know.
Why do they make a federal case of it? Yes, they could just take their business somewhere else, just like Rosa Parks could have chosen another seat on the bus. But they make a federal case of it because they want people to know this is going on. I guess at some point you get tired of looking the other way, and not saying anything.
Regarding religion, I support churches that don't want to perform gay marriages if they are against their religious beliefs, but this other stuff? No, there needs to be a stop to this.
