How far should political correctness take us?

[OKCHunter]

I disagree. Every American deserves rights just as you do.

Agree as well. However, some things have gone too far in the name of political correctness and crossed the line into violating religious belief. For example, Civil Unions verses Marriage for homosexual relationships. I've got no problem with homosexuals creating a Civil Union that has the same rights as the marriage between a man and a women - just don't call it a marriage.

I agree, as long as the people with strongly held religious beliefs rights are not infringed. There is a large amount of people who still believe it is a sin, and that is their right. In this argument there are two diametrically opposed groups and each has the right to their belief.

I agree, and fully support your rights to your beliefs... until you use those beliefs to belittle or infringe the beliefs of another citizen. Just as a a baker shouldn't be forced to bake a gay wedding cake, that same baker shouldn't force their definitions on someone else's beliefs.

Your not forcing your beliefs on someone else by simply refusing to do something. The baker could have simply said he wasn't interested in making the cake. That should be the end of the story because the baker doesn't owe anyone an explanation about the "why" he won't do something.

I'd like to explain the point you just missed, but I'm not up for trolling tonight.

Baker, preacher, or a locksmith, you don't have the right to force someone to do something against their beliefs. Granting rights based on sexuality is meaningless except for those who wear it on their sleeves. There are very few instances where someone would even know if someone is homo/hetero without advertising it. If the wedding cake scenario was turned on its head and someone went to an openly gay baker and asked for a cake with verses from the bible that says homosexuality is an abomination and the baker refused, would there be the same outrage? Anyone can find ways to get their feeling hurt if they try hard enough. If someone doesn't want your business, move on there will be someone who needs the work.

I didn't miss your point. I simply pointing out the simple. I do agree though if the baker uses his position on his beliefs to belittle the homosexuals then he's gone to far. Cause all he has to do is say no.
