    I can't imagine how social media has anything at all to do with how well things go.

    In terms of political discourse? Surely you can't be serious!

    26 states allow places of employment to terminate said employment simply because of the employee is gay [1][2][3]

    I totally missed your reply! Are gay people actually being fired for being gay in these states?

    Cakes are not centerpieces of weddings and even if they were, it matters not. What he was making the cake for and the style he was making it weren't any different than other wedding cakes he'd already made without complaint. That's why there was an issue.

    There was nothing about this situation that infringed on his right to practice his religion, because the bible doesn't contain a rule that forbids Christians from making cakes or other items for gay people or any people. It doesn't impose rules about when it's okay to approve a marriage and when it's not. It would have been no different then if this hadn't been a gay couple, but rather a couple from a different religion. The bible only tells you how to live your life, not to impose those same laws on other people. The bakers were in the wrong, ethically even if the courts found that it was not legally.

    You'd have to ask Facebook. What Antifa groups are still active that are doing this?

    I know of at least two teachers that were terminated or moved to different districts and one food worker. Most employment legal firms (probably biased I know) say that for every known case of employment discrimination there are between 20 - 30 that go unreported.

    Is your next argument going to be “well it doesn’t effect that many people so it’s fine”, that seems to be the typical response when people with motive against gay individuals find out it is perfectly legal to fire, refuse to promote, evict, or refuse goods to homosexuals for no reason other than their orientation.

    And I responded that it's not possible in the US, you need to move to Iran.
    Says a lot how extreme your idea's are.

    Well @cd8ed disagrees with you, saying:

    What the hell do you think my "ideas" are?

    How is it known that they were specifically fired for their sexual orientation? Or were they just gay people who were fired?

    Do you think that I have "motive against gay individuals?"

    Why exactly did it require your sources? I was just stating that you disagree with the other poster. Don't you agree that you disagree with them?

    That would be a great victory for Liberals. Liberals greatest strength is an ability to censor opposing viewpoints.

    Retaining Internet Freedom is the only chance for Conservatism to survive as a viable political force.

    And if social media companies purged EVERY SINGLE LAST conservative in the country, would you propose government intervention for the sake of the continuation of democracy?

    You asked "Where can a Christian fire someone for being gay?"... and I answered: Iran.
    So time to move if you want to fire people for being gay.

    I may be a Classic Liberal.

    I vehemently disagree with Liberals on Identity Politics and Censorship.

    I vehemently disagree with Conservatives on their opposition to Welfare and on their support of guns.
