People just use this as an excuse to discriminate against lgbt people. Baking a cake, as a Christian baker, for a gay couple is just part of your job. It doesn’t go against your religion. A religion that tells you to love your neighbors and put aside your hate and prejudices. But most catholic people forget what Jesus was about. He accepted everyone, gay, straight, black, white, tax collector, or prostitute.
Oh so baking a cake as an action HAS to endorse everything the occasion the cake is for stands for, but voting for a PROVEN NOT POTENTIAL child predator in a national election does NOT have to endorse everything that person stands for? Did I get that right? What fundamental difference between those two actions warrants baking a cake having a stronger moral weight than a vote in an election that will affect millions? Btw irregardless is not a word, stop trying to sound so smart.
Also if the action will occur regardless of the vote or the agreement to bake the cake, then why are we allowing a person to PREY ON CHILDREN?? Gays will just go to another bakery, and that monster will just find a different way to feed his sick desires. Standing on your religious beliefs to this degree requires such hairsplitting that it’s frankly concerning that you’re willing to defend this man to this degree on a topic as universally immoral and hated as child sexual assault
Not really the argument I’m making. The cake is with the sole purpose of directly completing the wedding, after which there is marriage and some expectations of the relationship (parenthood, loving) but an unknown future. The vote is with the sole purpose of completing the election of a candidate, after which there is inauguration and some expectations of the presidency (oath, perhaps certain legislations) but an unknown future. The difference is, the marriage is integral to the wedding,
Even then just comparing the two is very stretched because the vote in itself doesn’t actually mean you conform with everything of the candidate. It’s an act of trust and faith that your expectations are met and that your candidate will do the right thing, which is simply the personal and in-effect dynamic of the vote, whereas the cake is very simply a completion in the physical and interpersonal sense.
now you can certainly have a range of blame for the vote in terms of legislative and policy actions, although your vote is really only allowing the guest in the house, not giving them exact instructions on what to do when inside. Regardless of that, the vote isn’t intrinsically a part of the personality unless that is some element to why you did vote.
Refusal to provide services to someone based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, etc, is just fucked up. If you were a baker who hated women and refused to bake anything for them, you’d get a lot of hate. But just because it’s a woman who loves another woman (or 2 men) that makes discrimination ok? As a baker baking cakes is your job, it isn’t part of your religion.
Yes because of the number pin comparison. But illegals shouldn’t be in here in the first place, that’s an unnecessary addition of people shouldn’t be k ntje country. Doesn’t matter if it’s only 1 crime a year it’s 1 too much that shouldn’t happen cause they are there illegally. Do American lives deserve to be sacrificed cause it’s a lower number?
Ice IDENTIFIED(not including the non identified ones) 16,000 predators that were illegal in the country, while under trump no illegals are even coming in. The open border allowed them in. And for trafficking it rose significantly under Biden with 1656 charged(not including uncharged) with that number dropping 26% under trump. Under Biden 450000 unaccompanied minors entered, under trump not only did that number drop he was able to find 132000 rescued
Most everyone on this app was unable to vote for Obama and Biden— many more of us were able to vote for tRump’s second round of domestic terrorism. Racism never disappeared. We still have slavery occur. People like you still *actively* contribute to racism and violence against BIPOC people. So, yeah, it’s pretty fucking relevant.
Yes no shit that’s why we have prison for citizens. Illegals aren’t citizens and they shouldn’t be in our country. Why does a single American life deserve to be lost, a single child women father mother because you feel bad for illegals. There shouldn’t even be a stat on crimes committed by illegals cause it should be zero
No he’s not😭. He is taking illegals out of the country. He is finding illegals and taking them out. These people aren’t stupid they willingly broke into our country knowing it was illegal and they did it anyways. Why should Americans suffer because of that. Ice is doing nothing more than getting them out. If sanctuary cities didn’t hide illegals then you wouldn’t see what’s happening in states like Minnesota. Look at Florida for example. This shouldn’t even be a debate
Cishet, christian, white men are the leading demographic for violent crimes, sweetheart. They’re also the paedophiles in charge pushing us all further into poverty, the biggest driver of crime, and robbing you every chance they get. People aren’t illegal. You’re focusing on the wrong ones, too.
No, slavery in the US still absolutely happens, but nice deflection. You wouldn’t feel called out in discussions of racism and slavery if you didn’t actively contribute to the very systems of hate that keep them thriving today. Hit dogs holler and, boy, are you yippin’ and yappin’ right now. Says a lot more about you than anything or anyone else.
Are you using a gay joke as an insult? That’s offensive to gay people (probably) check yourself. The people owning slaves weren’t the ones who started it. It was just the “norm” back then. Also my ancestors are from Italy. We didn’t care what color you were, if you weren’t rich you were a slave.
Ain’t even have to do with religious freedom. Just freedom in general people can choose based on their own opinions to make a cake or not. It isn’t that deep you don’t have to ruin someone’s entire life and business cause he didn’t give into this new forced woke ideologies. We keep on talking about freedom but if someone doesn’t agree with something they want they will literally ruin your life
What a comment 😭 go do your research I’m not searching things up anymore by open border we mean the millions of illegals that got into the country under Biden. Millions. And yes when you look at trump who has seen zero illegal entries in 90 days, and even if it’s not 0 it’s dramatically lower than Biden. You keep on avoiding this by saying “ice is lying”, but you really can’t just denounce this fact. Are you really so petty against trump that you would rather avoid these facts
Like I don’t get what’s so hard. Take away all political bias. The facts are that under Biden, millions of illegals entered and human trafficking and illegal predator numbers skyrocketed. I have you the data. With trump it lowered significantly. But you keep saying Epstein, you do t even care about the issue you just care if it was trump. I doubt you care that waltz pardoned an illegal predator who raped a young girl for over 2 years. This is gonna get downvoted as well, trying to downvote truth
I’m talking about all of you. And sucking trumps dick, I’m not even maga I’m a realist. You go straight to insults whenever you’re wrong, grow up a bit be mature. “Trump is worse than Biden in every metric” I just gave you every data point on these predator. You’re disgusting, you beleive the metric of thousand more kids being raped and trafficked under Biden is better than trumps that lowered it. Disgusting people, you guys applaud children getting harmed, Americans dying
Second of all. We all have our own beliefs, everyone can deny customers. I don’t care if someone denied me it’s their business. I don’t ah e to like it but I sure as shit wouldn’t go on social media and ruin their life unless they committed a crime against me. If they deny business okay go to another shop, don’t ruin their life. It’s selfish, you only think of yourself and pettiness but that’s someone and someone’s families entire life that you ruined
what the fuck does “force to make a gay cake” even mean? someone tried to buy a wedding cake, the same as anyone else. Did the cake say “boo christians suck and god doesn’t exist” or something? how is it that huge of a deal to do his same job as usual, with a gay couple as customers?
Someone doesn’t support gay marriage and didn’t want to make a cake for it. Who are you to question someone’s decisions. How is it that huge of a deal who a business chooses as its clients, it’s not this big of a deal for a couple to make all of this issue for the business over this
Whether or not that’s legally discrimination, it’s entirely within their right to post about their experience with the baker if they choose? What happened to free speech?? “don’t make a big deal about it” is dumb. If you have a bad experience with a business, you leave a bad review, and other people see it and don’t use that business. That’s literally model capitalism.
Exactly. They victimize themselves cause they want to force everyone to accept them. Thats the way for everything. They talk about free speech but we can’t have our own? Suing people because they refused to make a cake isn’t free speech that’s trying to manipulate the law against that bakeries free speech
You’d actually be making more money if you provided service for everyone. There are more lgbt and allies of lgbt than homophobic people who are so full of hate that they won’t buy a cake from a bakery that serves gay people too. If you serve more demographics, you most likely will make more money than if you only served one
