    But you certainly get to discriminate because you don't agree with how they live their lives.

    There's a distinction here that you are either purposefully not understanding or are too dumb to understand.

    The baker didn't discriminate against PEOPLE, they discriminated against the idea of gay marriage.

    The baker didn't say I won't serve you because you're gay so no birthday cakes, anniversary cakes, congratulation cakes, graduation cakes, or any other cakes for you, cause you're gay!

    The baker said he doesn't want to be forced to make a gay wedding cake, presumably he would tell a straight person he won't make a gay wedding cake for his friend's wedding as well, meaning he's discriminating against making cakes for gay weddings, NOT gay people.

    If you want to argue that this rationale still shouldn't fly in the good ol' US of A, then fine, make that argument. But don't make the situation something it isn't so you have an easier time to win the gold in your oppression Olympics.

    Except that's not true. Architects turn down work, contractors turn down work, and lawyers turn down work. A number of lawyers have refused to represent Trump for example. I personally don't buy the idea of turning down work for religious reasons, but blanket "you must serve all people of the state" statements are flat out wrong. Had you added "on religious grounds" I'd probability agree with you, but only because of the slippery slope of allowing a religious exception, and then with some pretty broad restrictions.
    I don't use Lich. If you want to do business with me, contact me via PM, IG, or on AIM. Or maybe use smoke signals. Don't like it, get off of my lawn.

    Cakes can't be gay, they are inanimate objects and thus have no sexual attraction to anything.

    Good point. The language was a bit strong. I think what he meant was- you have to serve all kinds of people regardless of skin color, gender identity, religion, ethnicity, nationality, and sexual orientation.

    You can add sex and race to that list as well. You can't refuse to do work for someone because they are whatever...

    Honestly, the only time I refuse to do work if the people are too cheap and the job is too much of a pain in the ass for what they will pay me to do it.

    That's how i typically see it too. Or if I'm too busy to do good work for someone. I've done work for a mosque, and for an Islamic day care. I felt a little weird working on a mosque as a Christian, but hey, all God's children deserve code compliant egress.
