They believe some are more equal than others, that those discriminated against need to put it in perspective as tom cotton said, as tho the constitution is only here to protect the majority. In fact, it is to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority.
and i know some are rather limited in the amount of topics they can ponder...doesnt mean everyone is so limited.
I find it amazing and a bit asinine that some people can't understand that some people don't want to participate in gay weddings because of religious convictions not because of hate or being evil, and some others are against abortion for the same reason, not because they hate women.

Protesters standing outside an abortion clinic with signs aren't even in the same hemisphere as those who bomb the clinics or attempt harm to its workers just as bakers and pizza makers who refuse servicing a gay wedding aren't in the same ballpark as those who go out gay bashing.

Shoplifting and murder are not the same even though they are both crimes.

I've always found it disingenuous that some are able to stick their collective heads in the sand ignoring and thus allowing truly evil acts preferring to focus on incidentals.

If I was to get married and wanted pulled pork sandwiches I would expect a Muslim caterer to deny me service not because of hate in his heart but rather the religious doctrine he has in his heart.

Now if he beheads me because of it, it's out of hate.
