Of course if that accomplishes the goal of eradicating this type of behavior.It may be but do you believe this practice should be wiped out?Entrapment DefinedIf you do not like the word "sting" you can substitute whatever term suits you the result is the same. It is either wrong for everyone to refuse to make gay cakes or it is o for everyone to refuse to make gay cakes, not just some.
Agree, in terms of the law.
But is it right to seek out and entrap someone for that purpose (regardless of their religion)?
Full Definition of entrapment
- 1 a : the action or process of entrapping b : the condition of being entrapped
- 2 : the action of luring an individual into committing a crime in order to prosecute the person for it
Yes it is in this situation, equal application of a standard must be accomplished no matter the means.
But did that happen in this situation?
I think that is ethically wrong - unless there is reason to believe that person had already committed crimes.
Yes, but I'm on the fence a bit. I prefer it to be wiped out through cultural change and education. At some point - laws have to be introduced: legalizing gay marriage, prohibiting discrimmination in housing, jobs, etc based on gender, race, religion, ethnicity, etc. to start the process. It's what had to happen with segregation, etc.
But these are small communities, small time family run operations - is it right to entrap them in this manner?
