So next time someone discriminates me, I should go sue them?
If it's at work and truly harmful. Sure.

She gave a key to the map in her previous response.

What do you think? If some discriminates you because you're gay: yes!
If you don't get hired because of it? Yes. If you get fired for having a casual conversation about it at work? Yes. If you don't get a promotion because of your beliefs or lack thereof? Yes. Those things are discrimination.
If someone at work tells you they aren't interested when you try to talk about religion? No because that's not discrimination. If you're upset that you can't promote your religion on government property, that's not discrimination assuming all religions or lack thereof are treated the same. If you're upset because your local XXX store says Happy Holidays rather than Merry Christmas? That's not discrimination either and you can choose to not frequent that store if it bothers you.

I too find it amusing. After all, if someone wanted to marry their sister or cousin would just be expressing themselves. They very possibly were born with a desire to marry a relative, and by not supporting them 100% would make you a bigot.
I think that since we're all free thinkers, we should accept those who are gay. I also think we should accept those who do not accept people who are gay. It's the right of having the freedom of thought. I think we should just live and let live.
Stores being shut down? Never heard of it. Boycotted, yes. I personally haven't been the Chik-fil-a since I became aware of the religious beliefs and anti-homosexual beliefs of their founder (although I still find their commercials hilarious).
If gay activists are just publicizing the bakery's choices, I have no problem with that. If they are standing on the sidewalk informing people who enter of the bakery owner's beliefs, I have no problem with that. If they are forming a human wall of people to not let anyone in? That's wrong. Likewise, if there's a bakery that does make cakes for gay weddings, and you stand outside the store to protest or organize a boycott of like-minded people, I have no issue with that. So I don't see a double-standard in that.

Yep. What if you?re in a "loving and committed" relationship with two people? Three people? Your dog?

This is not about thought. It's about freedom in a tangible sense. I see no reason to accept intolerance when it leads to discrimination. This thread is about freedom to be who you are and not have to hide it. Some in this thread don't respect that freedom. If they had their way people would continue be discriminated against. I DO NOT have to accept that.
I have no problems on the people side of that. As long as all of the people involved are capable of consent and do actually consent of their own free will. I think it's a little strange, but I have no issues with it.
The dog, however, cannot consent so I do have an issue with that.
Explain how it works: If a person is gay he/she is happy to be accepted AND unaccepted at the same time? Point is: If you don't accept gay's right and you keep your thoughts to yourself, that's acceptable. But if you don't accept gay's right and act on it (discriminate) then it is unacceptable.I think that since we're all free thinkers, we should accept those who are gay.

But isn't the action of indiscrimination started by thoughts?
But isn't the action of indiscrimination started by thoughts? Change the mind, change the outcome. Mind over matter. If we truly want everyone to get along and not be intolerant, we have to change how they think. That's just what I believe.
Right now in this country if you don't agree with the gay agenda, you face discrimination, lawsuits, and even jail time.
What gay agenda? Lol.
And if you think being gay is immoral or anything, you're an *****.
