First of all, by dealing with, including sending aid and making false treaties to countries who have failed to evolve out of the dark ages we legitimatize their actions by keeping our collective heads in the sand.

And if and when bakers, florists and caterers develop hate and become violent against homosexuals, I'll be the first in line to condemn their actions. These businesses are not acting out of hate but rather individual religious convictions that are protected under the first amendment.

Comparing lynching's etc. to gay wedding cakes rings hollow and serves as an insult to the plight of African Americans. You do realize the average gay couple are more educated and earn more than the average hetero couple? Gays certainly should be allowed to marry and enjoy the same benefits it brings in all 50 states but people who are willing to give up profits due to religious beliefs should be tolerated as well.
