Think Progress editor's comparison to ministers refusing to perform gay weddings is absurd

In one tweet, @JuddLegum managed to take a giant shit on both the Civil Right struggle and Religious Freedom. #TakeABow

Lunacy from Think Progress’ Editor in Chief Judd Legum? Say it ain’t so!

First, some background:

Two Christian ministers who own an Idaho wedding chapel were told they had to either perform same-sex weddings or face jail time and up to $1,000 in fines, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in federal court.

Some have a problem with the government forcing Christian ministers to marry same-sex couples:

I support same sex marriage. I also find it deeply troubling that a government would force a minister to perform one. http://t.co/5dFbphLMlD

Judd Legum said Christian ministers who refuse to perform same-sex weddings was totes the same as something else:

@radleybalko Do you find it similarly troubling that the gov't would force a restaurant to serve black people?

Default argument: Because racism! Except different, but not really.

Counter-productivity, they name is Legum:

@moelane @JohnEkdahl They've made no secret of their desire to accomplish that very thing.
