Why is choosing your mate acceptable but choosing your orientation not acceptable -- assuming you (not you specifically) believe its a choice?

Because it doesn't help the advancement/evolution of the human race, duh!
It aught to be outlawed, we need every smart child we can foster. Gay people don't make babies.
Therefor, they are not good for the evolution of humanity.

Instead, we should make an example of them, so that others in the world know that you're not being good for the evolution of society and man by being gay.

Why do some conservatives, who are supposedly so much more "logical" than their liberal counterparts, care if two adults of the same gender want their government, which is as much their government as anyone else's, to recognize their non-selfish choice to commit their lives to each other with the same rights, privileges, and responsibilities afforded to other adult couplings of opposite genders?

I actually don't, and there is no Christian case for why government aught not recognize it.
What I have a problem with is when the liberals take away our liberties.
Do I think this place should have not served gaycakes to homosex people? Absolutely not.
But they should have every right to be wrong, just as the gay people are welcome to picket and protest the cupcake factory. Let the people decide with their money. If they agree with the gay people, then the cupcake factory will go out of business.

I fail to see why this isn't a good enough option for liberals.
Actually, I do see why: because they want to impress their belief system on everybody else, just like the bigoted country Christian conservative folk.

Your logic is flawed, a lot of people don't make babies. Gay people are perfectly of making babies. There are also a lot of people that make too many babies.

Your evolution theory doesn't make any sense and it makes you sound stupid.

I'd normally dismiss this as sarcasm, but with you I'm not so sure.

Neither I nor most "liberals" think the business can and should be forced to sell the cupcakes as specified to these people.

His version of evolution isn't evolution and natural selection at all, he knows perfectly well that if natural selection was to rule, he wouldn't be alive, no two worthwhile parents could produce THAT kind of human garbage.

No, he's using his religion to forward social darwinism a la Hitler, he is actually saying that we should keep some from procreating by simply eliminating their genes.

How about other groups? No black people?

Yeah, that would fly oh so well.

I say fuck him, discrimination isn't allowed in a free society.

Fox59 went to City Market to get the business's side of the story, Just Cookies, but we didn't get just one version of what happened.

"Look around, we don't have cupcakes," said owner Lilly Stockton.

So the business' name is "Just Cookies"?

Just Cookies?

And you would go there to ask for cupcakes?

Idiots

I don't care which group of people it is. Private businesses should be free to be as stupid as they want. The free market will punish them for their stupidity.

Opening up a store in Compton that doesn't sell to black people is a bad business move. It doesn't take a law or act of government to punish the business for stupid decisions.

The laws against discrimination are there for a reason.

Unfortunantly, no matter what you and i think on the matter, some things need to be clarified for those who don't understand them.

Discrimination is one of these things, if these twats followed their saviour and treated their neighbour as they would wish to be treated themselves then this wouldn't be a problem, unfortunantly that is not the case, so these laws exist for a purpose.

Now couple that with what i said before on special treatment, and you'll understand why i don't think there should be a gay pride parade NOR discrimination against gays, i don't give a sheit who you kiss or fuck or marry, to me, that is completely irrelevant but to society it is not.

Pretty lame slant there. You're usually better than this. Read the article again. They DID ask for cookies (rainbow colored). The female propieter said she told them they didn't have enough colors to do rainbow cookies. But the male proprietor admitted the real reason they wouldn't fill the order. They may have asked for cupcakes initially, but they did ultimately ask for cookies. Given that those are the facts, I'm not sure what your "idiot" slur adds to the discussion.

I'm confused here. If the bounds of your example are that sexual orientation is a choice, then I have no problem with someone choosing to be homosexual. I argue that it's not a choice, rendering your example unrelated to reality.
The question wasn't meant for you. It was general question meant for the "Homosexuality is a choice" crowd. To that I say, "What's wrong with choice?". FWIW, I think its biological.

The body of law in this country is littered with good intentions, but enacting laws that try to make illegal/legal forms of human social behavior are doomed to fail from the start. People don't truly "get along" with each other because a law forces them to do so. People get along because they make a decision to do so. All the law does is restrict the freedom to fail that is so necessary for real learning to occur. We could make a law that says touching a hot stove is illegal. That doesn't mean people won't touch hot stoves ever again. No, people should be free to touch a hot stove if they want. They'll learn real quick.

I submit that anti-discrimination laws have done next to nothing to advance the cause of tolerance and respect for those different than us. The cultural arts and the entertainment industry have done infinitely more to teach us the folly of hating people because of their race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation than any law ever has.. or ever will.

Why are homosexuals bigotted towards people that don't agree with their lifestyle choice?

You want to push poop in, others don't agree with it. Why is it ok for you to have your beliefs, but others can't have their own beliefs?
Understand that bigotry goes both ways.


Lots of heterosexuals also push women's poop in and seem to love it. So it's not just a gay thing anymore. But I guess if it's a woman's ass, it's okay?

Gays are trying to tell heterosexuals how to live their lives?

If rainbow colored items are on their menu, problem. If its a special order the bakery has a right to refuse. But as mentioned earlier be willing to suffer the consequences.
