Well argued.

So Christians' rights to exclude others override gays' right to marry? I think you're increasingly in the minority. IMO a Christian baker has the right believe whatever he wants, but he doesn't have the right to discriminate others based on his beliefs. As long as we're talking about a private person/company doing the discriminating, I don't know where exactly I'd draw the line, possibly not a gay wedding cakes, but any public office/representative should absolutely not practice any of it.

Whether and how many of them actually want to exercise a basic right has nothing to do with whether they should have it.
