People should be able to discriminate in commerce all they want. That is obviously a stupid law.
breaking a contract is not good though.

sure they should, anti-discrimination law's, like i said are touchy, i mean, even in and of itself, it's a touchy sort of law that shouldn't be necessary. surely though it's been necessitated.
and they did make a contract so, even if they weren't fined, they'd still get sued. good. fuck them and their old dried up ways.

I hadn't heard anything about this story but if this is ture, that is OUTRAGEOUS!
A persn has a righ tnot ot make a fucking cake if he doesn't want to. If this bakery was part of a corporation, then I would say they would have to do what the customer ordered, because a corporation doesn't have a or any other thoughts other than "make money". But if it's just a mom and pop bakery and they don't want to make a cake for ANY FUCkING REASON, they shouldn't have to. OUTRAGEOUS!
And what fucking damages? You got an article or something?

I couldn't read a word of that. Re-type, coherently, please.
I did catch some shit about Ireland. How are you bringing Ireland into the conversation? This happened in the United States, therefore, Irish law does not apply.

you know, i forgot OP mentioned Oregon, unfortunately however he didn't post a link to the story, so i found a link at the top of the page on Google of the exact same story, just one in Ireland. which i find amusing but...seriously if you can't read simple English...sorry.
but i'll give a cliff notes version if you can't read my previous posts.
1: business do not operate to turn down customer's; it's stupid. that's first and foremost
2: i do not know about this story's detail's more, but i'll assume they were contractually obliged to make the cake; either way "Under Oregon law," the state agency said in a statement, "Oregonians cannot be denied service based on sexual orientation. The law provides an exemption for religious organizations and schools, but does not allow private business owners to discriminate based on sexual orientation, just as they cannot legally deny service based on race, sex, age, veteran status, disability or religion.

Special privileges? Marriage only for straight people is a special privilege. Exemption from anti-discrimination laws for religious reasons is a special privilege.
If you own a business, you must comply with the law, including ones that mandate that you cannot discriminate based on certain traits or characteristics. You are free to not operate a business if you are unwilling to comply with the law.
And you are totally full of shit about that priest thing. Source?

Every state in the country has public accommodation statues that say business cannot discriminate based on race, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, and others. Some states cover sexual orientation, some don't. There is nothing radical about these laws, and what happened to this business resulted from them breaking a law that every business in the country is obliged to follow.

Priests refusing is discrimination too.
The law is stupid. Buisinesses shoukd be ablt to discriminate all they want. If someone asks me to renovate their deck I should be able to say no for any reason I want. I shoikdnt be obligated to to business with anyone.
Have you ever heard of a discriminatory lawsuit from a straight couple before? This is certainly special privileges, just like how my city lines the street with rainbow flags and paints the crosswalks rainbow. Those are special privileges.

Nobody is making priests marry gay people. Gimme a break. Religious organizations are exempt from public accommodation laws.
You know these laws go both ways? It doesn't say you can't discriminate against gay people. It says you can't based on sexual orientation. Straight people are covered just as much as gay people.

The problem isn't simply saying i can't make you a cake or do your deck. The problem is saying I can't make a cake because you're gay. Or catholic. Or Pakistani. Or black.

Using force to enact their desired social changes, renders the forcers no better morally than the forcees.
Plus, it feeds the hatred of those forced. Laws like that might get you your cake, but it makes the problem worse.

yes, absolutely right. i was thinking the same thing; well put LDS.
it's basically a political motive for these shenanigan's.
but unfortunately, those, the so-called bigots, they embrace the same motivation, a political motivation against them...so how can this be solved?

These laws exist because discrimination happens. Yah, maybe it's easy to find another bakery. But, what if every bakery doesn't want to serve gays. What if a restaurant doesn't let black people in. Unfortunately, the free market does not solve every problem and without legal recourse, there can be (and have been) situations where entire groups of people are essentially second class citizens.

what about the fact that this absurd religious dogma is encased in our culture seemingly in stone, and that gays and lesbians have no dogma and simply have no other choice to stand up for themselves, and can't rely on anyone else to help them but their own sexes and genders (a terrible syndicate of coalition's to even deal with from the inside, let alone from the perspective held on them already in society); how can that be solved? time? how can time erase dogma?
