The public accommodation issue is huge IMHO. If every business that deals with the public is considered a public accommodation, the government grabs a huge chunk of control that it wasn’t considered to have before.

This would include businesses that are more like personalized craftsmanship, like photography, flower arrangement, or customized wedding cake design. “Make it gay, and make it pretty, or I’ll sue your ass!”

Well, remember only people who embrace the mark of the beast would be allowed to do business or have a job.

It's time to decide that the government has no authority to impose "public accommodation" rules on people.

I think “public accommodation” is key. No one “needs” a wedding cake. They won’t starve without it.

I think if they were the only baker in town, there would be a better case for this, but it is obvious that the left deliberately provoked this controversy in order to bring a lawsuit.

What if every person in NYC demanded to have a cake baked by one particular baker? When they are exhausted and start saying no, can they be sued?

What about doctors who refuse to take new patients or patients without preferred insurers? Can they be forced to do so?

IMO this is a frivolous lawsuit that was deliberately engineered to cause trouble. It should have been thrown out long before this.

Don’t tread on me.
