I would like someone to give me a justification for forcing a person to actively participate or play some direct role in an activity that his religion teaches is a sin? Why can't the gay couple approach the gazillion other businesses happy to take the money that the religious person refuses? Those who claim discrimination in these cases are lying as the bakers/florists/caterers/photographers who have been getting fined/sued serve gay people in all other capacities that don't have to do with celebrating gay union itself, such as birthdays for example, so it has nothing to do with discriminating gay people as people--One even hired gay staff for many years and had many gay customers until her business was destroyed by a gay couple she had served for years after she declined the business for their wedding ceremony. It is just that they don't want to directly participate in the event itself--gay wedding--that their religion believes is a sin. The same thing happens with Muslim and Jewish businesses. It makes perfect sense to me, and I wouldn't personally approach a seventh-day Adventist events-planner to organize a catholic religious celebration involving religious statues and such because I know he/she might probably feel that doing so is wrong, not that he/she is trying to hurt/offend me or some other nonsense. No problem. I just don't get why someone would approach a devout elderly Christian woman who believes gay sex is a sin for their gay wedding and then be surprised or offended that she doesn't want to be involved in the celebration. When the gay rights movement started, it was all about, "it doesn't affect you, let them live their own lives without interference". Its interesting noticing how fast it is turning into "participate, or else". How intolerant "tolerance" can be! Its not far-fetched now smelling a coming Christian persecution, not now, but in the next decades, if people can struggle to see such a simple principle of fairness like this one. No one gets to force gay people to live according to Christian beliefs, and no one should force those who don't believe so to live as if gay unions are perfectly moral.
