5 Big Fat Myths About LGBT Discrimination Laws
 
Those on the Left cheering as anti-discrimination law is turned into a weapon against the First Amendment freedoms should consider whether they really want to weaken these rights.

Remember how LGBT activists promised that same-sex marriage would harm no one and infringe on no one’s freedoms? They lied.

Christians and other nonconformists now face financial ruin and even imprisonment if they decline to participate in promoting and celebrating same-sex wedding ceremonies. Consider baker Jack Phillips and florist Barronelle Stutzman, who faithfully serve LGBT customers in the ordinary course of business, balking only at custom work that conflicts with their deeply held religious convictions. For this, the LGBT left seeks to destroy their businesses.

The Supreme Court has now taken up Jack’s case, to decide whether the government can force artists to create against their will, and whether it can compel religious dissenters and other nonconformists to participate in promoting and celebrating ceremonies they abhor.

At the core, the matter of LGBT "rights" is secondary to the issue of forcing a business to make something they don't want to make.
It could be a customer demanding some business make left-handed, chrome-plated, multi-colored widgets when the company does not want to make them.
The only actual case of discrimination arises when a customer is refused THE SAME service provided to other customers.  Demanding a special service is not the same thing as being denied service.
