Is this the only place to buy a cake?  And they don't like gay people?  Seems like a perfect business opportunity for someone that isn't a bigot.

In many towns, DeadO, there is only one bakery (or at least only one outside Wal-Mart).

Besides "just search around until you find someone who'll take your kind" isn't the appropriate response here, morally, ethically, or politically. Ever.

This isn't like Jim Crow.  Nothing at all like Jim Crow.

What percentage of Americans do you think live in towns so small there is only one place to buy a cake?  And I'd guess its an even smaller percentage of gay Americans.  Maybe 2.5%?  Yes, in those places you should be able to compel (with the force of the law) the local bigot cake maker to make you a cake (though why you would want to give somebody that hates you money is another issue, but whatever, the point is more important than not helping the bigot out I guess).  I don't understand why the other 98% of us don't just avoid bigoted bakers, maybe start a PR campaign/protest against them, advertise for the non bigoted bakers.  Certainly not go out of our way to find the bigots to give them our money.  Or give them free PR to other bigots by suing them.

Read again, DeadO. If someone is looking for a nice cake better than a sheet cake from the Wal-Mart or grocery generic bakery without leaving town or taking a lengthy urban commute to another neighborhood, quite a damn few.

This argument was settled long ago. The Commerce Clause exists for a reason. Most people rightly don't give a damn for libertard fantasies of "moral approbation" substituting for a completely legitimate, reserved (to the sane), and justifiable regulation of commerce.

deadO, stop talking. You've embarrassed yourself.
