Like serving black people at a lunch counter?
A little context. In the line directly proceeding your quote, it says "He offered them a blank/generic cake,
that meets the minimum standard.". It's as if I obviously don't just think you can refuse a person for any reason, rather using an analogy, in one's meat restaurant you never should be offering mean, but not forced to offer a vegetarian option to serve everyone equally. So no, "serving black people at a lunch counter" has absolutely nothing to do with a right to refuse. Generic off the rank cakes for $25, can not be refused to gay couples if they want to pay $25. You can't and shouldn't be able to kick a person from your restaurant for being black. All of which has absolutely nothing to do with telling a baker to make a custom cake that makes them uncomfortable or a singer etc etc. I am sure though Yaniv up there in Canada, a quite intimating figure, forcing women to perform acts they feel uncomfortable with, often in their homes seems also seems very reasonable to you(not like there aren't a ton of people all too comfortable to perform the required services). Not like that was in fact, a politically motivated harassment...kind of reminds me of this bakeshop these out of state activists just love to charge with discrimination.
Undue prejudice is bad. Harassment is worse.
Look, your posts are so filled with twisted views, the sort you'd hear from someone kicked out of an Ayn Rand meeting, that this is a waste of time. It's just reassuring that your views are very uncommon, if not enough. And it sounds like one of them is 'if you're not gay, you shouldn't care about issues that affect gays' (same for any group). Admirable.
You can't even parrot back my views when you're talking to me. I can only imagine what your mind-reading goes into these generic interest groups.
That wasn't my point in the slightest. The point was to expand on this thinking of it being "pathological" as you can't always feel genuine empathy and if you try it will fail. Have some humility. Plenty of non-gay and gay alike people have informed, emotive, educated opinions on the issues. And still, disagree. Plenty of people still just don't feel informed or connect to it(like me) and the responsible thing is probably than the not factoring to heavily into my vote and decisions.
When you manufacture opinions and emotional reasoning based on assumptions and fantasies not grounded in reality. It destructive both as a voter and on a personal level. That is what that poster was suggesting, even if it was unaware of the natural implications of it self-righteous messaging.
The major point here is, you want to be empathic listen more, speak less. You want a be an informed voter, vote what you know. Imagining you've connected to victims group is a highway to anxiety condition. Pretending people are un-empathic for not knowing what they don't know is absurd.
