I wonder who the court would side with if the bakery had been owned by a Muslim?
I’m sorry - but, when you decide to operate a “fee-for-service” business in the public arena, you must serve everyone.
However, you do have a choice - provide the service, or close the business. It is black letter law.
In the example in the article - it would work both ways for both the heterosexual and the homosexual.
Otherwise, it would be akin to refusing to serve blacks at the lunch counter ...
If I owned a bakery I wouldn't make a cake with a swastika on it either.
Sure you are required to serve black people at your Woolworth's but you shouldn't be forced to make something custom made, if it's not on the menu no matter how much it was "demanded".
Gimme an ice cream cone with 8 scoops!
Sorry, we don't make those.
You HAVE to, I'm black!
I can offer you a triple scoop cone, any flavors.
Not good enough, I'm suing!
Bullshit. You wouldn't have to serve the Ku Klux Klan or the Nazi Party. Hell, I'll bet you wouldn't have to serve the Tea party, and if you were muslim, you wouldn't have to serve homos.
Some animals are more equal than others.
Actually, you do. The Klan and the American Nazi Party hold rallies frequently and are not prohibited based upon free speech grounds.
If I were to dress in Klan garb, go into a bakery and get refused - I'd win the court case ...
Ah, jeez, nobody seems to care what the actual issue is.
The faggots could go in an be served with any item offered. What they demanded was a custom item. if a Klanster demanded a swastika cake, he would be refused and not a court in the land would back him.
I just know I will have to explain this again and again, probably to the same people.
If this is like the New Mexico case, it was the MESSAGE that was declined. We do not inscribe to “gay marriages.” Had a nun come in and asked for such a thing she’d get refused too.
Otherwise, it would be akin to refusing to serve blacks at the lunch counter ...
Not even close. The people who refused blacks at their lunch counters could not cite Biblical or constitutional reasons.
Many people care. This rabble rouser does not.
Tell that to the Muzzie cab drivers who refuse to drive customers with alcohol.
Sometimes I think I am at DU.
Trolllllllz.
I saw the quote:
“I’ll make you birthday cakes, shower cakes, sell you cookies and brownies, I just don’t make cakes for same-sex weddings.”
It doesn't say he makes traditional wedding cakes - but, I bet he does. And if it includes names - then it is a "custom" order. This is in direct contradiction to him saying that he doesn't make "custom" order wedding cakes [traditional, same-sex, or otherwise] ...
No need to be snippy about it - not a troll. Just happen to disagree with you on this issue.
“I just don’t make cakes for same-sex weddings” - Seeing as Same sex weddings are not legal in this state his statement is true. Even if he wanted to make cake for same sex weddings he could not as there is legally no such thing in this state. Who is this guys’ lawyer? How is he denying them anything or discriminating - he did not say I don’t sell cakes to gay people.
What is namely the service? Too provide a cake? Or to provide a "wedding cake" ? I think there is a distinction. In the second case the question naturally presents itself, "What is a wedding?"
RuPaul herself??
That is a man!
