Just a point of clarification.
The baker in question was NOT a baker like any other baker down the street. This guy was more of an artist. He makes specialty cakes that are more art than not. Think the difference betwween buying mass produced, particleboard furniture vs a hand crafted piece of oak furniture.
His customers cannot just go down the street and buy another cake like this.
That said, his cakes are a first amendment expression. He crafts what he crafts—not unlike any other artist. Therefore, his freedoms of expression and religion are protected much more than any cake bought in a grocery store dbakery.
It might seem like a small point of clarification. In my mind it makes a huge difference in the application of the law.
Excellent point. Amen and bump!
Again, we come back to it wasn’t the cake, it was the words the queers wanted on the cake.
