Even Voltaire - “I disapprove of what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it” - would defend this decision.

Hahaha. Great.

Discrimination is what people do all the time. It is the essence of decision making in human affairs.

The entire idea of making private discrimination illegal is a direct assault on freedom of association.

There should never be laws against private choices in who one may associate with.

Government, on the other hand, should not discriminate on anything but conduct.

Racial discrimination in the South, particularly, was propped up by governmental discrimination.

As state capitol, you would think that city government “leaders” in Phoenix would at least know the basics of state and federal constitutions, along with state laws, concerning this issue.

Here in Colorado the baker is being sued for the third time, even though he won the two previous card battles.

The next step will be to look for an Obola appointee in San Francisco. Same old song and dance!

“Nor are appellants penalized for refusing to create wedding-related merchandise as long as they equally refuse similar services to opposite-sex couples.”

So, they aren't penalized for refusing to provide custom artwork for same-sex marriages, provided they do not provide custom artwork for any marriages. Such astounding logic!

[DoodleDawg]

However, the Arizona high court’s ruling was limited to just the “creation of custom wedding invitations,” with the ruling not allowing for “a blanket exemption from the Ordinance for all of Plaintiffs’ business operations.”

Why would one facet of the business operation be protected but not others? It's all art.

To Hell with the LGBT thugs

Back to the closet where they belong.

It is the foundation of who we are:no American can be forced to do anything against their will but liberals see things quite differently.

I guess gay people will just have to buy very low priced envelopes.

Deemed sufficiently enlightened, advanced, or progressive? Yikes, whoever wrote this is sufficiently confused.

“In holding otherwise, the majority implausibly characterizes a commercially prepared wedding invitation as ‘pure speech’ on the part of the business selling the product ...

These are weasel words from the DISSENT. While there may be an end "product", what they are selling is a creative SERVICE, using their artistry to create a custom design for one individual wedding. It is not a mass-manufactured product that anyone can use. It is a product only in the sense that words are a product of the vocal cords. The content of the words is speech, and speech is protected by the 1A. Government does not have the right to compel speech.
