Do you support the legalization of same sex marriage?
Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

Churches are one of the main places people get married. So why not let the gays get married there aswell?

We should all have the right to refuse any service. If a baker doesn't want to make a wedding cake because the couple is LGBT+, they shouldn't be forced to. However, I would want to know because I do not want to support homophobic businesses.
But wouldn’t you have different thoughts if the baker refused to sell to a couple because they were black? Or christian?
@DanielKolbin1105Independent 7mos7MO
Not the same logic since there's nothing wrong with being black or a Christian.
@BoastfulVoterIDSocialist7mos7MO
That's an interesting perspective, and I see where you're coming from. Just like there's nothing wrong with being black or Christian, there's also nothing wrong with being a part of the LGBT+ community. Everyone should be treated with respect and dignity, don't you think? What are your thoughts on this?
@DanielKolbin1105Independent 7mos7MO
Respect and dignity are definitely important. Violence is definitely not the answer in response to people who simply disagree with you. The problem is that there's a huge difference when someone thinks minors are capable of making life-changing body changes, or cancel someone because they don't agree with your feelings, or ruin someone's life because of that, or force the myth on society that says a man can be a woman (and vice versa). Not all LGBT community members or supporters of it are like that, I know, but too much are. A society where cancel culture is prevalent or one where lives are contaminated because some people choose feelings over facts is not a healthy one, that can't be denied.

"Cancel Culture" is not a real thing. It is just what happens when a significant amount of people stop supporting a person or brand or whatever. If someone says something transphobic (like what you just did), and people don't like that kind of non-factual bigotry, then they are free to stop supporting that person, and if that person loses their platforms because of it, then that's just the consequences of their own decisions. People of every party and ideology do this, because it's just about personal preference and ideals.
And lastly, no, people being trans is not a myth, so you probably shouldn't be spreading things that aren't true for your own personal feelings like that...

"Cancel culture is not a real thing." I don't know what rock you're living under, maybe you're using a different definition. It's not just stopping support; some people lose their jobs or platforms for making valid or harmless points. It's one thing when its harmful nonsense, but it's another when it's a dumb comment the person made a decade ago that they are sorry for. Severe cancel culture exists and that shouldn't be normal. There's more to a person than having some controversial views, which we all do.
