He'd better stop thinking and start doing.

On the one hand, party membership would be a bit of a problem since I doubt he'd be allowed to run as a Democrat.

On the other hand, the Republicans Who Cried Socialist will have a hard time criticising him! :)

People are free to pray quietly. I don't want to be part of some other religion's services.

As for businesses, what if a person's religion prohibited "race mixing" and part of that proscription including not doing business with people of other races?

Permitting invocations presents a slippery slope that we really have no ned for in a secular democracy. One can pray among themselves prior to the meeting privately. Nobody's stopping that.

Businesses that deal with the general public need to comprehend the concept of professionalism. The sole difference between a gay and hetero wedding cake is the ornament on top. Even there, there's plenty that include neither.

And private businesses should be free from government intrusion in determining who they serve when it does not violate the Constitution and last I checked there was no equal protection clause for LGBT like there is minorities and the case law has not mandated anti-discrimination protections for non-fundamental rights. Buying a wedding cake is not a fundamental right

Buying a wedding cake is not a fundamental right

"Buying a wedding cake" specifically may not be, but "full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin" has been a fundamental right since 1964. There is no good reason sexual preference should not be included.

???

Where does the equal protection clause mention minorities? It says all persons deserve equal protection under the law.

The only difference between minorities and LGBT is that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its successors only apply to the former. So what is inherently wrong about suggesting they be extended to additional classes of people? It's a matter of judgment, not the violation of a fundamental right of private businesses.

Sexual orientation is not listed and there is a perfectly good reason for sexual orientation to not be included: the free exercise of religion of the business owners. If I feel that doing something that furthers a same sex wedding means I am supporting it and my religious beliefs say otherwise I should be allowed to refuse to serve without threat of legal sanction

That is not a good reason. The rights of people should not be subject to the arbitrary and capricious interpretation of religious beliefs by others. Once again, if some religion prohibited race mixing, would it be OK for practitioners of that religion to deny services to people of other races? What about denying a wedding cake to an interracial couple by someone who believes it's a sin to marry outside of one's race or to in any way support such a marriage?

The two aren't equated because in most jurisdictions legislation mentions race but not sexual orientation. But you're dodging the question of whether legislation ought to be amended to include sexual orientation.

But your claim was that you believe that her beliefs on this matter make her against people practicing your religion. That does not imply that you believe that it is a matter for the legislature.

Yes, by supporting judicial nominees who would usurp the legislative function in this area she is preventing those who want to openly practice their religion by not legitimatizing same sex marriage from petitioning their legislators in support of that position because the Courts have taken that away
