Plus, it feeds the hatred of those forced. Laws like that might get you your cake, but it makes the problem worse.
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.
That doesn't change a word of what I said.
I despise bigots, homophobes, sexists and racists. I despise those who use force on them.
Your examples don't change the fact that force isn't the way.

The old dogs die off. In the meantime, not having these absurd laws removes one of the legs the forcees are standing on.

Well, as far as I know, gay people didn't have a lot of trouble getting cakes until recently, so in some ways we are regressing.
Read the court order. The people who own the bakery not only refused service AFTER the gay couple had arranged to have the cake made, they bakery then went public stating that they do not serve gay people. One of the bakery owners told one of the gay customers "your children are an abomination."

maybe there is a time for the laws to change. but this has all resulted from desperation. i don't understand how people cannot understand this concept. the pure misanthropy to people by idiot's because of their insanity and their stupidity has done it's damage.
but as i said, perhaps the time is coming for the laws to change. since the playing field is more equal now.

So what? They should be free to serve who they wish and to not serve those who they don't wish.
Those who are disgusted by their behavior are free to not give their money to homophobes.
Why would you be in favor of giving money/support to assholes?

yeah that's my main point. it's pure stupidity, and then moreso, they're agreement was in place...they didn't follow through. there is a civil case already, regardless of gay anything or no.
then that tidbit is very telling as well. that frame of mind is certainly abominable. like their brain's have been drilled hole's in.

No, this has resulted from force. People don't like being told what to do. A lesson the government has yet to learn.

did they at least pay them back, i wonder.

sure, it's force, it's reckless. but they had to subsist by force during much of modern society and then some...so even without going further back than even 60 years ago, there has been some form or another of force. this is a backlash, and i should say it grows, i think, with the backlash from the people whom are clearly misinformed about reality and are bigoted. because it's a war against each other, essentially.
there is animosity there.
i'm not saying it's right, i'm just explaining it's occurrence. sure it's force, no one likes it, that's why both sides are defending one another.
these conversation's about "freedom" already always end up in a tail spin if you try and justify the concept as universal, but then try and put into terms for two warring coalition's.

This case is not about a wedding cake or a marriage. It is about a business’s refusal to serve someone because of their sexual orientation. Under Oregon law, that is illegal.
Within Oregon’s public accommodations law is the basic principle of human decency that every person, regardless of their sexual orientation, has the freedom to fully participate in society. The ability to enter public places, to shop, to dine, to move about unfettered by bigotry.
These laws have been around for decades, and are ubiquitous. The business owners were well aware of the law, and they decided that they were above the law. They insist that their religion gives them a special privilege to discriminate.
These law do exist to force bigoted people from discriminating. They exist because there have been times and places where discrimination was part of the culture and without legal force, change would be slow and remedy would be delayed.
If the business owners didn't like the laws that protect gay people, they can move to a state that doesn't have them. there's your freedom.

None of which changes a word I said.
Force has merely made the problem worse and driven hatred deeper into people.
It has had the opposite of your desired result.

Of course it wasn't the intended result. I don't doubt that those who passed such stupid laws truly believed they were doing the right (or best) thing.
Yet the unintended result was the result they got. It has made things worse.
As long as laws like that exist, it will continue to get worse and people will continue giving their money to closeted bigots.

well, he's stated it enough, i think it's well said: it doesn't change what word's he's used. but look, if it was a black couple, it'd get a similar reaction in Oregon, let's face it; it'll be the same outlash pretty much. different parties though. so how'd that change anything about the backlash, from not just the origin of the impropriety but also the after affects: in other words does the punishment here fit the crime?
that's what i think other people are perhaps pointing to as well, but Luv's point is that either way you're getting a worse result unless segregation become's simply outdated, although i'm paraphrasing. because that with that plan you can expect the least amount of damage i think is his point.

well i am trying to see all sides on this issue to the best of my ability, and i can see nothing but absurdity so maybe you're right, there's nothing that can done save fending off idiocy.
but that is a good combination of categories there, what shall we call those emptyheaded who thought/think they can force others not to be those things?

How are you getting a worse result? Fact not in evidence. Seems like the message has been sent that you can't discriminate against gay people in Oregon. I doubt black people in the south feel like finally being allowed to sit where they wish on a bus, or a restaurant was a worse result than the status quo which existed until these laws FORCED businesses to serve them.

They are welcome to still be bigots, they just can't act upon their beliefs if it means denying someone a service.
