Jim, when I consider issues, I try to think about how I would react if I were forced to do something I considered offensive - like doing something in support of neo-Nazism. I would suppose the baker reacted similarly to being forced to support gay marriage.

And although I don't agree with him, I can then understand how he feels.

Then try to understand how the person discriminated against might be feeling. In my view, the need to put right the sorry history of centuries of discrimination against gay people trumps the delicate feelings of a cake-making Christian bigot a thousand times over.

And your continuing equivalence of neo-Nazism and support for gay marriage is giving me bellyache, frankly.
