my gay friends pilloried me for defending these cake shop scandals back in the day.

this was after we had finally won marriage equality and public sentiment was basically 95% on our side and a random cake shop didnt want to decorate a cake with a same sex couple. I am pretty sure they even agreed to bake he stupid cake but wouldnt decorate it in the specific way.

I would attempt to defend it on legal merits and on the fact that it literally does not harm us in any way. The counter argument was generally "fuck them and their entire livelihood for being against us in any way." Honestly it was like a warning sign. It was like performative rage over some identity tribalism.
