...Colorado baker who was sued when he declined to bake a wedding cake...

Not quite correct. He declined to use his artistic talents to design a cake for a gay wedding.

Indeed he did offer to bake them a cake for their union. They were regular customers. He just declined the artistic part of decorating said cake.

From my post yesterday and I’m sure the examples could go on and on...

From the article - “The fact is, nondiscrimination laws were never meant to compel the creation of art or expression in violation of one’s conscience.”

Should a Christian painter or photographer be required to paint or photograph an act of homosexual sodomy?

Should a Muslim artist be required to depict Allah with a turban made out of a bomb?

Should a homosexual writer be required to write an article supporting the religious condemnation of sodomy and a homosexual lifestyle?

NO I suppose not. SCOTUS (rightfully) chose wisely. Any other decision would open flood gates from hell.

I was wondering if this was that court case. That particular specific is now left out of LSM reports on the story.

Good thing he doesn't build houses. Then you have the whole illegal workers thing thrown into the mix.

I don’t know about you, but I call that ‘splitting hairs’ (aka slippery slope)

Biz has EVERY Right, for ANY reason, to say “No. Get out”. The same as every PERSON has the right to (not) patronize any biz.
