Actually, you don’t have to close the business. You simply drop wedding cakes from your list of services. You can sell many more birthday cakes, cookies and cupcakes than wedding cakes anyway.
Are there legal same sex weddings in the state concerned? - If not then how can he make something for something that does not exist?
This is where your logic fails. A rally is considered a public event exercising free speech. Baking a cake is a private enterprise and has nothing to do with free speech. This is tyranny plain and simple. The homos could easily gone to a homo friendly bakery but chose this guy to attack his private beliefs.
Your defense of them is quite simply wrong.
I certainly wouldn’t EAT something prepared by someone who was FORCED to prepare it, and who could prepare it in a back room without observation.
This has nothing to do with religion. If an atheist refuses to bake a cake for a same-sex ceremony, that should be their choice and the government should leave them alone.
“The Klan and the American Nazi Party hold rallies frequently”
Actually,no. They are usually canceled because of security concerns.
The baker didn't refuse to serve homosexuals....he undoubtedly has served thousands. He just refused to bake a specific type of cake.
They make Christian wedding cakes for heterosexual couples. They do not make fornication cakes for queers. Got it?
Does this mean that I can carry my gun into a store that posts a sign prohibiting doing so? After all, they would be discriminating against those that do carry.
The Baker has legal rights in America that preclude him from having to do anything for anyone that goes against his Christianity. Period.
WE are going to have to start standing up for these persecuted people.
I am disappointed in the folks here that resort to insults when an opinion is put forth to which they do not agree.
I question the wisdom in general, of forcing anybody to bake anything for me against their will. A wedding cake is intended to be eaten.
Militant homosexuals need to think twice about their strategy in this. Baptists might pray over it. Catholics might put holy water in it. Less moral, less charitable people might adulterate it in any number of unpleasant ways.
It might just be that none of the above would put the level of skill and care into a cake baked under forced servitude, that one produced freely would receive as a matter of course.
And there you go again, kissing up to evil.
And incidentally does a judge’s decision to force something against what a plebiscite would probably come up with... truly reflect a COMMUNITY standard? To claim that is to claim farce.
Do not shy from calling B.S. on an evil, sinful, egotistical, hypocritical government, and STOP defending it!
This wasn’t done for believed wisdom’s sake. It was done to raise an evil cause.
I don't think you do.
Regardless of the rationale, it’s not the wisest thing to force someone to bake food for you against their will.
There is plenty of hypocrisy in those who defend it, both there and here. Take your “sadness” to where it belongs.
This is about calling some farce a wedding then striving to lasso those who intended to serve only heterosexual weddings into serving the farce too.
And having people so high minded that they will defend this rather than helping look for how this farce of farces may be brought down.
Make that, “high minded.” In quotes.
