It’s absusive. Leave the man alone to live his life the way he wants, just like others want to live their lives the way they want. Of course this is a set-up - they went right back to the same baker to harass him for basically the same issue, with a slight twist of pretext. It’s unethical, abusive, just wrong. And personally I don’t care what people want to do to their own bodies, call themselves whatever they want, wear any clothes they want - just let everyone else enjoy the same. Trangender, straight, gay, bi, swingers, adulterers, virgins etc all have the same right to their beliefs and freedom from coercive action contrary to their will.
And I don’t even know why this is still being argued. I don’t know why it was argued in the first place. Mohammed Ali was granted concientious objector status to the Vietnam War in a UNANIMOUS Supreme Court ruling. If you can conscientiously object to being drafted, you sure has heck should be able to consceintiously object to baking a cake!
The worst of it is that this is just “you can’t fight city hall” type crap. They don’t care it’s not their time or money - they will intimidate and coerce people without care what it does to their lives. Until there are severe penalties paid by those who abuse their power these things will never change.
Congress should change the sovereign immunity laws. Time to force agents of the government to think twice about civil rights violations.
Amen...Very well said!
We’ve gone from let me live my life in peace to you will comply or else.
