I genuinely don't know how to respond to that.
Pointing out how many people believe that selling a cake for a same-sex wedding is unconscionable religious persecution?

Nah, he specifically mentioned bakeries and said they shouldn't be forced to sell their product to people they have religious disagreements with. He also said Trump's immigration policies are to protect all Americans, including LGBT people (like, he specifically said "including LGBT people"), from terrorism.
I legit stepped away from that post, because I have too much work to do to let my day get derailed by a Trumpster.

So the argument is that businesses should be able to discriminate on the basis of religion?

Yup. I don't have it in me to even try with someone like that.
I'm still boggling at "gay people protest Trump because they hate him for his fiscal conservativism." Yeah. I'm suuuuuuuure that's the reason.

What fiscal conservativism? He wants to cut taxes a bunch and spend more money on defense, wall, etc... Ugh, sounds frustrating.

Indeed. So much so that editing a boring and confusing article on genes in non-Alzheimer's dementia is more appealing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Also, you're allowed to disagree with the president on more than one issue. You can dislike fiscal policy AND treatment of the LGBT.

There was an article in yesterday's Washington Post written by someone who was responsible for vetting refugees who wanted to come to the U.S. He pointed out it takes about two years for them to go through the process and that the vetting is pretty comprehensive.

That bakery? Is very close to where I live. I told my kids, I'd rather a Costco or grocery store cake over them giving him any business.

Apparently Costco cakes are really good, and some people order their sheet cakes for weddings, as the cake that gets sliced up in the kitchen and brought out to serve. #trivia
