Good for you nhbbear.I am a very pro gay rights person. I think it is stupid and ridiculous that any business would discriminate against gay rights or gay marriage.
But as strong as my beliefs are in support of gay marriage, my beliefs in the first amendment and this man's decisions based upon his religious freedom, trumps my pro gay rights views.
I find this decision to rule against his shop to be more distasteful than a pretty cake made of shit. I have trouble understanding how this ruling could ever be upheld, even in Colorado, cali, or Washington.
Good for you nhbbear.
What's interesting about this case, was that there was no such thing as gay marriage in Colorado at that time either. I'm not sure if that matters anyway, but it's interesting.
Well, now knowing that, it says something about you and your previous post. Good for you for realizing that there should be religious freedoms also.My wife and I were planning on attending our first gay wedding in Seattle, but the matter was postponed and then we got real pregnant. So I am hoping next summer. The culture shock of Seattle was harder to adjust to than the gay scene. We stayed with a gay couple, had dinner with gay couples, went to a pride something or other at a park, then looked for Bigfoot. My point is I would rather be surrounded by gay people than many of the people I consider friends. I love to drink and hang out with the guys I work with, but there is always a layer of separation because I supervise them and they are always trying to catch me slipping. Bastards.
