I think we've gone overboard on political correctness. In a free country, it should be OK not to like someone or some group. If the bakery owner doesn't like gays getting married, I think that's OK. The gays probably don't like him either. It is phony baloney for the government to legislate and dictate values and morals. Free speech is a core right. We should not make laws requiring everyone to smile and pretend they like everyone. you should be able to go into a cake shop and order a cake and not be judged by the owners of the shop.Instead the bakery owners made this couple feel like they were beneath them some how or not as worthy or good as them and that sucks. Better to let the free market take care of that than the government Gibby. If someone opens up a bakeshop and he doesn't like blond women, he glares at them, and he refuses service to them, then this is how it will play out. Blond women will be offended by him. They'll spread the word that he's a jerk. Their friends and family will take their business elsewhere. His business will drop off. If he's intolerant toward blond women, there are probably some other groups he's also intolerant of. He's likely to offend them too. Then his business will drop off even further. Other customers, who happen to be in his shop when he exhibits rude behavior, will also be turned off by him. They're likely to take their business elsewhere too. I prefer less government rather than more. I especially don't like the government trying to legislate morals and control the way we think.
