Good development for America. Homosexuals are given too much privileges. The sentiment towards their cause is just too much

America was founded on Godly principles. So no one should shove perversion down people's throats. Upholding my Godly beliefs shouldn't be erroneously tagged as a form of discrimination.
There is absolutely nothing godly about any of what you just claimed here. God didn't send His own out to discriminate against anyone or group out there.... in giving, He said "Freely you were given, so freely give"...in love, He said, "Do to others as you would like for them to do to you".... in serving others, He said," the one who serves the others like a slave is the greatest among you". So I am not certain what principles of God you claim to hold to but your hate for your fellow man has nothing to do with Him. undecided

Useless people why can't they go elsewhere or meet their own gay people to do the business must it be someone who doesn't agree with their lifestyle?

So If someone of a different belief from you says your message is against his own belief he is free to deny you service right?

It is my fundamental human right of association to have business dealing with whoever I want.

Kudos to the US Supreme Court.
Definitely! It is your right but the religious argument which pretends discrimination of that sort is of God is bullsheet! undecided

Good one and God bless the supreme court judges. I can't forget how furious I used be in my university days to find out that my roommate who sweat profusely slept on my bed before bed time and a sane person will rub sweat with same sex Tufiakwa!!!

Find a person of same belief, it's common sense. Why should a muslim be FORCED to build a church, or a christain FORCED to build a mosque? What happened to freedom and free will?

Yeah. Thank God he (Trump) was able to appoint some conservatives to the Supreme Court of the US in spite of the heavy backlash.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_judges_appointed_by_Donald_Trump#:~:text=Trump%20with%20his%20first%20Supreme,Court%20nominee%2C%20Amy%20Coney%20Barrett.

The perverts seem to be the boldest and loudest forcing their lewd fetishes on the vast but silent majority in that country. Sadly humility and the respect for others’ choices doesn’t work with them.

In a way, yes, especially when it involves matters that connotes eternal damnation as have been demonstrated by the Bible in the Sodom and Gomorrah story. The service provider will be traumatized if he goes ahead, hence there is no need to force it. Find another provider.

I hope you won't be here to cry foul when stuff like this turns around to bite you in the arse.

IMO this is why a secular state is so important especially in multi religious and multi cultural society so that we don't get people using their religion to discriminate against others.

Be sensible, humans are not robots. They have emotions. You can't expect everyone to be able to be stoic. Why must someone be forced to promote something that he/she hates in the name of being correct and woke?
Would you take a job that is against your country? Most likely no, you'll reasonably say.But God is not that important for you, sorry, God is important to billions of other people.

Why not state the discrimination clearly here.

I offer a service that involves creatives, which means I have to customize the client’s needs. However, because some clients wish to force an agenda down the throat of others, they specifically target law abiding citizens who are religious keeping to their faith, which in turn benefits the society. These clients who can be described as unusual choose to seek out such religious individuals so as to arm twist them into making creatives that go against their conscience and believes. This is while these unusual clients could have simply searched out members of their own unusual beliefs and sexual leanings or get a neutral provider to offer their cravings and sexual beliefs and orientation. Alternatively, if the service provider contacted is unbothered, then there is no issues. But as long as they are bothered, and maybe even shaken by the request, then they should be able to decline giving the service, and left alone for good, while other willing service providers are sought as an alternative.

Now, can you show me or at least demonstrate how this discrimination you speak of becomes a topic.

On the contrary the whole episode speaks to an attempt to victimize religious individuals who just want to be left alone in their own space and within their own rights, especially in a free market environment.

There was no attempt to force anything. She was the one who brought the case to the Supreme Court preemptively, nobody attempted to victimise her. She wasn't even a website designerwhen she brought the suit.

Of course any workman can reject work but when you begin to make it known that you reject work based on religion what do you think that does to the fabric of a multi religious society? Do you think we need more of these kinds of divisive issues?

Besides it's ridiculous to say that LGBTQ folk should only be served by other LGBTQ folk, sexual orientation is not something one places a sign on the forehead and walk about with. How does it make sense for a waiter or a cashier to be concerned with the sexual orientation of the person they are serving? I have never heard a Christian say I won't buy an Apple product because the CEO is guy and my money is going to be part of what pays his salary. How do you even know if the bread you bought this money is paying some LGBTQ person? This case is just an arbitrary point for discrimination to make yourselves feel good about your religion.
