I know. It's about one's freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

It's about forcing the gay agenda down the throats of those who oppose it.

Yes, it certainly is. (I was being pretty broad; you were being more specific. We're on the same side, though.)

I should have stated "It's ALSO about forcing..."

Where was this anger and attitude towards the MSNBC announcer that wrote a hate filled attack at the gay community? Oh wait, she is a liberal announcer and she apologized. Got it.

Exactly, when this writer apologizes, THEN we can discuss it.

"...It always worries me when gays advocate taking freedom away from other people. It worries me as a matter of principle. But it also unsettles me because some gay activists do not seem to realize that the position they’re taking is particularly dangerous for a tiny and historically despised minority. The blithe unconcern for the First Amendment in the war on “hate speech,” for example, ignores the fact that, for centuries, the First Amendment was the only defense the gay minority ever had — and now, with the first taste of power, we are restricting the rights of others in this respect?

The freedom of any baker to express himself is, in this respect, indistinguishable from that of any gay person to do so — a truth that our current tribalism blinds so many to.
