To the Editor:
   Michael Brooks wants to find a legitimate distinction between refusing to bake a cake for a  gay wedding on one hand and refusing to serve Negroes at a lunch counter on the other. There is none.
   Where one's personal religious convictions collide with an other's Civil Rights, it is the Rights that must be upheld; that's what government is for.  If Mike Pence wants instead to enforce religious convictions, perhaps he should be running for office in Iran.
