The problem becomes the faulty definitions of discrimination. Is it discriminatory to say you don't believe in God? We know it's not, so how is it discriminatory to say I don't agree with gay sex, (look at the recent sports figures, TV personalities, etc for the reaction to that)? Because we know a simple expression of disagreement on homosexuality is sold as just that.
If this baker refused to bake me a cake because I don't believe in God, I'm pretty sure it'd be discriminatory.
No one says you have to "agree" with gay sex. Just that you can't deny someone basic rights and services because they are gay. I don't really agree with most religions, but if I owned a bakery (or any business), I wouldn't deny someone service because of that. Just be a decent human being and treat other people how you want to be treated no matter their gender, religion, sexual preference, race, etc.
And you should note my response isn't in a vacuum and goes beyond the conditions of this thread; it follows the very wrong assertion that it's simply something people do in the bedroom and as if anyone expressing their view on homosexuality isn't engendering ridiculous protests in an attempt to cause someone to lose a job. When is expressing dislike no longer a basic right?
I don't see any issue with expressing your dislike. It's a free country. Feel free to express your beliefs on anything and everything. However, if you deny basic rights and services to one particular group, it becomes discriminatory.
The counter argument is to just let it be a free for all and let capitalism sort it out. If a business discriminates, you'd think people would realize that and eventually that business would lose enough sales they'd go under. Except we've proven that doesn't really work. I'm concerned we'd slide right back into "colored" restrooms and forcing people to the back of the bus. From a historical standpoint, that was just a blink of the eye when society deemed that acceptable.
I don't expect everyone to like it. I do limit it to rights and services though. I fully endorse every religion's right to believe whatever they want and worship however they want. Just don't push it on me and don't try to force me to adopt your religion (putting it in schools, governments, etc.). Same goes for homosexuals. Feel free to believe and practice what you want, but don't push it on me.
