I agree. This is what society has come to. Muslim employee in a supermarket refuses to handle bacon = okay Christian employee in a supermarket refuses bake a cake for a homosexual = not okay Free speech and anti-discrimination when it suits you, and the opposite when it suits you. The doublethink is strong. |

Muslim employee in supermarket that refuses to handle bacon: fine, plenty of others to take their place, and it only affects that person.
Bigot in supermarket refusing to bake cake for homosexual: you serve the company customers at the whim of your employer, wear your bigotry for all to see and give the supermarket a bad name and you're in hot water.
See how easy it is to rephrase that and not have a conflict? The problem is that you chose to phrase your example in such a way that you could - narrowly - infer doublethink but all you really managed to do is expose yourself.
