No one serving a product in the public forum can hide behind "expressive art" as an excuse.
The "art" comes from the customer, the baker is merely the tech putting the message on the cake.
If the Court accepts this case, which it just may not, the ruling will be very interesting as to where 'religious protection' intersects with public business.
.......and only an immoral, authoritarian hypocrite would support such egregious violations of individual liberty, ethics and common decency.Yes. businesses should be FORCED to treat all customers fairly. Only an idiot wouldn't see the need for that.LOL, what the fuck does that have to do with anything? business aren't "public service" organizations that what's the government is for. Nobody FORCED you to find employment did they? Yet you are free to refuse to do business with any employer based on any criteria that your heart desires, a consumer is free to decline to do business with any business for any reason they like, yet the jabbering mental munchkins think that business owners should be FORCED to do business with all comers just because they chose to earn a living as an entrepreneur and put their capital at risk?As usual you missed the point, the issue is not with following "the law", the issue is that the some of the laws are egregious violations of individual liberty, like er..um.. forcing business owners to do business with people against their will.Why would someone get a business license and not be expected to follow business laws?Uh-huh, but apparently you're perfectly fine forcing business owners to do things they don't want to do.....![]()
If someone FORCED them to go into business serving the public, they should call the cops immediately. There are laws against that.
The authoritarian "liberty for me but not for thee" streak is once again rearing its ugly head.
i was refused service due to my religious or rather non religious beliefs....one of the tire changers.....objected to my bumper sticker saying "my goddess gave birth to your god" i took my business elsewhere....i should have sued the place but it was easier just to go to their competitors
i do not want to be forced to do art or anything else i do not want to do...

Congratulations you and the slave owners of the Old South have a lot in common, you both have no problem using coercion to get others to do your bidding.
There's a false analogy there.Remember when the Marxists said gay marriage wouldn't impact anyone who wasn't gay?

I clicked on this link that promised some homosexual degeneracy and all I got was this?
Authoritarian is forcing your religious beliefs on others, and using religion to discriminate those you disagree with.LOL, what the fuck does that have to do with anything? business aren't "public service" organizations that what's the government is for.

i spent up to my sr year in high school in "jesus school". today i'm apathetic and non religious but if you wanna go after it, i'm your huckleberry........and only an immoral, authoritarian hypocrite would support such egregious violations of individual liberty, ethics and common decency.
only an immoral authoritarian hypocrite business owner would break anti discrimination law to refuse to accommodate their neighbor while hiding behind Jesus AS IF he'd approve...
you have failed to demonstrate how accommodating your neighbor is against your religion, ethics or decency.
didn't you learn the golden rule in Jesus school??
He also says not to pray in public but they do it anyway."Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than this."
"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
Jesus does not approve of self righteous nincompoops claiming the moral high ground while treating others as LESS THAN.

do you have any idea what they teach in "jesus school" or when you graduated the "dick academy" was that not covered?

You don't think businesses should follow the business laws they are supposed to follow when getting a business license?Remember when the Marxists said gay marriage wouldn't impact anyone who wasn't gay?

I agree, and business has the right to deny service if the display is offensive.But everyday run of the mill services and items shouldn't be denied just because they know they be gay.O.k., folks -- here we have the hard core leftists demanding the baker express sentiments and create art against his will, and the hard core right wingers thinking he should be allowed to refuse service because customers are gay. As usual for this place, there are just these two extremes with no middle ground, no nuance and no principles.
Equal accommodation under the law means that businesses should not be allowed to discriminate against people based upon certain traits. I own a business and I understand that. This notion doesn't mean that a business owner should be forced to offer an article or service BECAUSE of these traits, however.
Now, in the case of gay people and weddings, there IS a middle ground here. If a baker offers a cake that says "best wishes Tom and Martha", they should offer one that says "Best wishes Ravi and Valerie". Oops, maybe I need a better example as that is just one person. If they create flowers and other depictions for one couple, they should do so for another. That is equal accommodation. I draw the line at the their being forced to offer words or depictions that goes against their beliefs, however. Turn this thing around, and look at it the other way around, and ask whether you would support forcing a baker to express sentiments that marriage is only between a man and a woman with some anti gay artwork. Would people support that as well?
Equal accommodation vs freedom of speech. There doesn't HAVE to be a conflict but all the partisan hacks of both extremes sure want to make it one.
LOL, thanks for demonstrating that you don't understand the meaning of the words authoritarian and hypocrite. For your edification this has nothing to do with "Jesus" and everything to do with the basic human right of free association and the immorality of coercing an individual into servitude........and only an immoral, authoritarian hypocrite would support such egregious violations of individual liberty, ethics and common decency.

I don't have a religion you intellectual Oompa Loompa and given that you have demonstrated on numerous occasions that you no grasp of ethics or decency your comment has been filed where it belongs... in /dev/null.you have failed to demonstrate how accommodating your neighbor is against your religion, ethics or decency.
