I suppose I feel like not respecting gay rights isn't a matter of political correctness...it just seems like a mean thing to do. I agree with most of the article, but that part seems a bit far. Also, the planned parenthood remarks that Carly fiorina made during the gop debate were objectively incorrect, so I don't see how that was a victory for "truthful" political correctness

If someone does not feel comfortable doing whatever someone else wants them to do, they should not be forced to do it. There are other people fully willing and wanting to help them. Who in their right fucking mind wants to be catered to by someone who finds them offensive?

If I went to a bakery and asked them to bake a cake for my hypothetical heterosexual marriage tomorrow, and the bakery's owners happened to be a gay couple, and they said they would be "uncomfortable" baking a cake for a heterosexual marriage because, hypothetically, it does for some reason, I would have no problem going to another bakery.
If, in that same scenario, they simply refused to bake the cake without giving a reason, then I would be unhappy.
I think it's more in how someone expresses that they would rather not do something than the fact that they would prefer not to do it. So long as they can express that distaste/preference in a respectful manner, there is no reason to disrespect their opinion in turn.
