Quote:I know my point is it's the decoration the bakers objected to not the cake itself. It's not an exact parallel I'm just trying to point out the lines become blurry when we try to use legislation to correct social injustices. In both cases id defend the establishment owners right to serve who ever they want while at the same time id do business else where. What can say I hate cake and love steak.

You hate cake?? What kind of crazy talk is that??????



Back on point...yes, you'd do business somewhere else, but what if there was no where else? You live in a small town (probably to small for a bakery...but let's pretend) what if the one store in town refused to provide you with service for whatever reason? Why should you have to drive an hour or more to get the same service that someone else in your town can get?


I know it's not the point you are making, but it seems like the same arguments that were used when blacks fought for the right to sit at the front of the bus or to use any bathrooms, not just colored bathrooms. Using your logic, the blacks should have just used their own bathrooms and been happy about it because the white people didn't want them in theirs any way.
