> We are not talking about someone serving us at a restaurant or other things that have nothing to do with our sexuality.
> Making a thing for a wedding is tied specifically to being LGBTQ. You can't ignore it while working on the service.
> I just don't understand why we decided that we need to try to force people to make things for us when there are plenty of people (including those within our own community) which will happily do it. Do you really want someone to make something they don't want to make? The quality is not going to be as good. I would much rather someone just say they don't want to do it.
Another "as a gay man" here, I fully agree. I also don't want to support them if they don't want to do the job. I'd rather take my money elsewhere to someone at least ambivalent enough to my sexual orientation / politics to not care that it's M+M rather than M+F.
I've had people make snide remarks of my sexuality before surrounding big decisions, and they basically made my mind up for me with them. (Ex: Car dealer trying to push me to a Prius on the lot because "your kind like them." I just left that dealership and shopped elsewhere.)
- nerdjon 3y agoYeah I have had those situations where even if they didn't say no to my face it was obvious that I should not be giving them my business. I just honestly don't get it why this is what "we" focused on.
