We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will yet swell the chorus when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

That point has already been rebutted phosphide. On many occasions within this very thread.

Nonsense. Unadulterated nonsense.
"I don't support gay marriage, therefore I refuse to bake a cake for a gay wedding. But that's not discrimination - I just don't provide that service."
"I don't support interracial marriage, therefore I refuse to bake a cake for an interracial wedding. But that's not discrimination - I just don't provide that service."
Pro-tip: an argument can be expressed as a series of propositions. If the only difference between one argument and another is the object, the arguments are the exact same.
You may as well be arguing that 1+1=2 except for when it equals 3.
Is it or is it not discriminatory against blacks to refuse to serve a white-black marriage, on the grounds that you believe blacks and whites shouldn't marry? Yes or no? In order to be consistent, you must argue no, because clearly what is being discriminated against is interracial marriage, not blacks. THIS IS YOUR ARGUMENT. Own it for once.
