by the way I literally laughed out loud at this. How can you really not have basic knowledge of the Civil Rights movement?

that's a right as i see it in the constitution. we could agree or disagree with what laws have come since then that loosened or firmed up those rights.

i think we're not far off from each other here. truly. i absolutely agree that there are laws that can be applied that would force me to bake a cake for a gay couple and it's pretty easy to go back to civil rights and numerous other laws to find that.

i'm arguing that those tenants of the civil rights act and subsequent laws afterwards aren't constitutional to begin with because of the private citizen vs. the government. it's probably a personal opinion as you said.

the problem is that i can have the attitude of "private citizen can discriminate however they want" but never support them and you probably think i'm a racist and homophobe.
