What if it was your choice to not marry a homosexual couple or bake them a wedding cake?

Then you shouldnt be in business. The constitution protects our freedom of religion. You wont be forced to preform same sex marriages.

Then you would have been very happy in the old Soviet Union...

No I would fit right in where I am at. Separation of church and state. No official religion of America. Not everyone is Christian. Not everyone fits into my definition of morality. It its two consenting adults and they want to engage in that, I would still make them a cake. I would show them love. I would treat them like the have some homo disease that I might catch.

What if there is a religion that believes 50 year old men can marry 12 year old girls. Should we celebrate that, because that is their religion?

WHOAAA. Celebrating something is much different than baking a cake... your a little out there in right field on this one.

Ya we should respect that right. I am going to make a religion for everything I want. My religion is against taxes.

I'm good with that. But why must everyone follow your definition of morality and love. Why can the cake baker not believe he is doing the moral thing by refusing to bake the homo cake.
