You also have the right to drool in public.

That's the point I've been making. If you want people to be able to refuse to serve others because of their beliefs, that freedom still applies when you think their beliefs are stoopid.

Any idiot can defend people he agrees with. It's having to defend the other ones where people start asking whether liberty is such a great idea.

I think blacklisting a person because of those stated in the opening story is asinine.

So do I. But that's what Freedom is all about. I also think refusing to cater gay weddings is asinine.

If you want it to stop, you might need some government interference. Again, that would cut both ways, so the bakers might find themselves forced to sell cakes.

Alternatively, just let the market take care of it.
