If you supported him being sued for the gay wedding cake, hopefully you understand better how he feels now.

I didn't support the gays either.

They get married in civil court, that's fine. If they want a ceremony or whatever that extends into people's rights just like any other deal.

I wouldn't expect every person who's 100 percent Muslim or Orthodox Jewish to be down for what I want for my wedding. Nor when I could have an abortion, would i expect a Catholic hospital to handle it. There are multiple other lanes available that have no problem w/working with you. Pick them.

If the baker had been Muslim and had refused to bake that cake because of his religion, I am convinced those gay men wouldn' t have sued him to begin with, or if they had, they wouldn' t have had the support from the "progressive" community they had.

I too had no problems with him turning those gay men down, and I was 100% opposed to the suing. Forcing him to do it or to consider him guilty of discrimination for this specific case infringe on artistic and speech freedom more than the "right" of those gay men to have a stupid cake for their wedding.
