Anyone else here remember when blacks weren't served in the front of restaurants? Same food, but not the same service, and that practice was brought to a halt.
I knew someone was going to say that as I was typing it but I fail to draw a parallel between blacks being denied basic necessities (food, water, employment, transportation, etc) with a homosexuals desire for a fancy cake. That's not to say that I don't think blacks and homosexuals shouldn't have equal rights because I actually think they should even though that may not be the popular stance on this site. I'm all for their rights and even think they should be allowed to get married... that being said I just don't put this guy's plight with wanting a wedding cake on par with Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat on the bus. I don't get people clamoring to call this a huge case for gay rights because as far as I'm concerned... it isn't. Hell, my wife and I didn't even have a cake on our wedding and that didn't change shit.

Does that make more sense? I'm not anti-gay rights I just don't see this as being a gay rights issue I guess.
