Quote:No, Tony is making things up, you can't go to jail for refusing to make a cake for a same-sex wedding. The incident Tony is referring to involved some religious conservative bakers who faced a backlash from the public for refusing to serve a gay couple. The usual Religious Right scaremongering got a lot of dumb people thinking that this was somehow the government oppressing religious people.
But the lefties want a law against this "discrimination."
And since laws without penalties are like bells without clappers ...
"These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation" - Justice David Brewer, Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892
