“I should be able to go into a muslim restaurant and be able to order a pork chop.”
The only way this would apply was if the muslim restaurant normally sold pork chops, but refused to sell you one.
“I will not purchase another Apple product until Tim Cook is removed and Apple repudiates him.”
Ditto.
I have yet to understand why I (or any business owner) doesn’t have the right to say, “I don’t like the looks of you, so I’m not serving you.” Gov’t doesn’t have the authority to countermand my God-given rights to associate, sell to or service anyone I want to or don’t want to. It’s basic freedom of association.
Forcing me to do something I don’t want to or that is against my principles or better judgement is slavery. There is no other word for it. Well, except “oppression”.
Appeal to authority or to the populous is a fallacy.
Serving gay people in some circumstances may prove fatal, e.g., dentists or doctors.
Actually, I bet he wouldn’t have much of an issue with a Muslim baker refusing service to gays.
This is an anti-Christian movement, not a “pro-gay” movement.
