Same Sex Marriage Case

     Same sex love isn't anything new. But same sex marriage is a relatively new thing. Some people still don't like it, and that's okay. Everyone is entitled to his or her own belief. I understand that some people don't like it because of their religion. A company refusing to service a same sex couple is discrimination. A company can no longer discriminate by race, therefore they shouldn't be able to discriminate by sex or marital status. I feel as though the judge shouldn't have rejected the argument. The judge could've at least listened and gave better feedback. 

     The article states that "Tolerance is a two-way street." This means that companies shouldn't have to be threatened with fines or jail time just because they don't agree with something the government does. I completely understand this statement and it makes sense that someone would feel that way about it. However, if people are grouping race, gender, and marital status together, then they should be treated fairly. 

     Overall, this case was not treated the way it should have been. I mean, the case was just about a couple who wouldn't shoot a wedding video for a same sex couple because of religious beliefs. I say the videographers are losing money and probably won't good publicity from this. But this is just a pointless case, otherwise.
