Another "religious liberty" wedding cake conundrum

[Slander and/or Libel]

TL;DR: I would rather be discriminated against than have someone do something for me he doesn't want to do.

Stated by somebody who likely doesn't have to worry about either.

Apologies for making assumptions.

But I really don't understand the logic behind wishing, for instance, that gay people would suffer discrimination rather than that one person who doesn't like gay people should have to set that aside and sell them a cake.

What makes this different from, say, lunch counters that were famously protested in the Civil Rights era?

But those are acts committed in there at the establishment. Being gay in public isn't comparable to flipping off everyone you see.

Any private business should have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.  If discrimination occurs, advertise it and let the free market take care of it.  It's for that reason that I oppose anti-discrimination legislation on principle.

And, before you call me a privileged, rich, white, straight man, businesses should have the right to refuse service to rich white straight men as well.

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."
