But given that the law and legal precedent is as it is, these people should be sued into oblivion.<br /><br />What I fear in this case is some sort of 'carve-out' based on the idea that this kind of leftist-friendly discrimination isn't 'real' discrimination and shouldn't be outlawed, which would lead directly to a neo-feudal system in which the annointed aristocrats have rights that are denied to the mere serfs. My position, in short, is that unless Christian bakers can decline to bake wedding cakes for homosexual weddings these feminists can choke on it.<br /><br />If the left wants to be honest about what they really want, they should propose a revision to the 1964 Civil Rights act to make it prohibit discrimination on the basis of race (except against whites), gender (except against men), religion (except against Christians) and sexual orientation (except against straights). Until they do that and get it enacted the law should be enforced against them as much as it is against anyone else.Kyle Haighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608497826478356055noreply@blogger.com
