The only thing that could change gay marriage, which is now the law of the land, is a constitutional amendment which would probably fail. I would like to see it go back to the states to make the decision, still posses at the supreme court.
The bakery thing is a complicated issue for me.
On one hand, no, you're not allowed to deny service to an individual based on their colour/gender/creed/sexuality/ect. Nobody should have the right to deny service to anyone. A pizza place can't say "we don't serve gays", a grocery store can't say "we don't serve blacks", ect.
However, I don't think the government has any right to dictate what kinds of services and products and establishment offers. I don't think a bakery should be forced to carry gay-friendly products. I don't think it should be a crime for a bakery to not carry the supplies to create a gay-friendly cake (two grooms/brides figure, whatever). I don't think people should be forced to carry "gay" products.
But if you have a service where you make cakes and will put a message on it, you better be ready to write some gay shit on that cake.
To deny services to gays is just such a cunty thing to do. What does it accomplish? Pray to your god and tell him "listen, I know there's a lot of fag shit going on right now but I want you to know I don't like and have nothing to do with it" and you should be good, right?
