To the reeducation camps for all who disagree! Me thinks it is going to back fire.

When two Oregon bakers chose, for religious reasons, not to provide a cake for a same-sex wedding, an Oregon government official explained why tolerance meant coercing the bakers: “The goal is to rehabilitate.” Tolerance required declaring the bakers’ beliefs and practices intolerable. We are going to discover whether a society can be congenial while its government is being coercive regarding wedding cakes and teams’ names.

so you think gay people don't deserve civil rights? you're saying they should face denial of service, like blacks used to?

I am saying that coerced tolerance is not tolerance at all. Will is making the point, with which I agree, that this probably won't end well:

The title should read: "The indispensable George Will"

Will truly is one of the best writers on the internet. I seldom read one of his columns without needing a dictionary, which will rule out a great many progs from ever even trying.
