When two rights seem to be in conflict? I think the decision should be based on if in the exercising of your rights, you are forcing someone else to lose their rights. If a LGNT couple wants to force the Church to allow them to be married in a temple or in a church, the exercising of their rights is taking the rights of the church away. That is where the Equality Act makes me very nervous, as it doesn't seem to try and balance this at all.

For commercial transactions, like a wedding cake, I think it would be difficult to construct a law that allows me to refuse service based on sexual preference of my customer, but not by race, ethnicity, etc. Either you allow refusal of commercial services for any reason, or you don't allow it for any reason. The question becomes, does the constitution provide a businessman the right to conduct business according to his own bigoted ideas? And who defines bigotry?

Personally, I don't think that if I owned a cake shop that selling a cake to a LGBT wedding puts me in conflict with what our Church teaches, but I get that others may feel differently. At the end of the day, we are entering very knew territory when it comes to application of constitutional rights and the rulings set over the next few years may be some of the most important the Supreme Court has set in a long time.
