As a self-professed redneck, I have had my share of bigotry as well. Believe it or not, just having a full beard in some areas will get one snubbed.
But I agree. A very important document once stated "All men are created equal"... what they do with themselves after that is on them. I wish we could somehow evolve to the point where, as Dr. Martin Luther King said, people are judged by their character, not their physical appearance or political/religious beliefs.

I'm not sure why the baker thinks they have any leg to stand on here. I can see why one would not want to be a part of a gay wedding on religious grounds, but there is no religious proscription against a birthday that I am aware of.
That should be clear cut discrimination.
I really, really believe that if we can return to a basis of "live and let live" and stop trying to control each other's behaviors and beings for one reason and another, respect differences, demand respect in return (not acceptance) and just get the hell on with life ... we'd all be much happier.
Thanks for being you, Redneck.

Yeah sure ... that's a lot better than a business just doing what they're in business for and making money.
