I am constantly surprised at the depths that some people will go to to not understand an issue. Over the weekend I had a conversation with my wife about a case in Colorado recently that involved a bakery, a baker and statutory discrimination. My wife brought it up as an example of the slippery slope of gay marriage. I wasn't really aware of this case but I looked it up because my wife deserves an educated response. As it turns out my wife didn't give me an educated account of the case. I'm sure that all of you are aware of this but it was new to me.
In Colorado it is against the law to discriminate based on sexual orientation. A business owner did and he was told to knock it off or face some fines. Simple as that.
My wife brought up free speech and I flippantly said, well the guy doesn't have to talk to them he just can't refuse to sell them a cake because the're gay. The joys of morgland.
