A devout religious baker can't choose not to be associated with the lifestyle of a gay couple?

Haha, no kidding!

I think there's a lot more to this than a gay dude wanting a cake, someone wants attention and compendium of damages

...

"Lifestyle" implies a choice; the overwhelming evidence, medically, biologically, and psychologically is homosexuality is not a choice. Political stance is a choice; no one is born with a 'GOP gene' or a DEM gene' or any hardwired predisposition to political ideology. Please note, I am not defending the gay couple nor am I condemning the baker; there is just no defining point in the arguments...

I also would never eat or drink anything from a person who is angry at me, at least not without my official taster sampling it first; which reminds me: I've got to post another "help Wanted" ad...
