"Speaking up when you see wrongdoing is about the most double-speak idea of 'pretty sick' and 'ruining lives' I've heard" Donating a small amount of money a 7 years ago to a cause you believe in should not equal bullying and a forced firing. I also feel less sympathetic when someone from that same community is bullied because I know they aren't actually about freedom, only their freedom. A business owner should also be allowed to have the religious freedom to not make a gay wedding cake, just as a Jewish owner should have the right to not make a nazi cake. "is a cheap price to pay. As well as delicious irony." An eye for an eye will only leave the world eye-less and good people like me will be forced to resort to the same tactics to make the world a better place. It's very easy to get someone fired from their job now. I guess you just gave me more of a reason to continue. Thanks.

Wow 'Nazi' showed up pretty fast on that one. Ignoring that, I'd say that its not bullying to make a person's own professed beliefs public. Just helping them out really - you hate gay people, lets let the world know. No new information, just sharing. A cake with hate messages is entirely a different deal, than one with messages of love and tolerance. That's a pretty big difference, and conflating the two is the favorite sophomorish 'argument' of the day. If its bullying, its bullying when a restaurant or bakery humiliates someone in public by refusing their business. But that kind is protected somehow? The irony is not of my making; its something God provides for free. The tactic of revealing your words and actions publicly is freely available to everyone; use it as you wish.
