Yes there is. That is the entire argument. It's never been about baking a cake. It's about endorsing the behavior using the cake to do so.That's right. They have to treat the customers the same. And they can't be forced to bake a homo cake for heteros either.
There's no such thing as 'homo cake'. Cake doesn't have a sexual orientation...as it doesn't have sex. Its inanimate.
There's just cake.
Its cake. They're getting married and want a wedding cake....so they go to a place that makes and sells wedding cakes.
That's about it.
I think the issue isn't just selling a cake.
A vanilla cake is $30. A gay dude walks in and wants to buy it. Ok. No problem. Why do we even need to know he's gay unless he brings it up? Just buy the cake.
But when he comes in and say "Me and my gay boyfriend are getting married and having a gay wedding. You must attend it and cater it. I want 10 vanilla cakes served at the wedding. You will be there."
That's the difference.
If I walk into a Muslim bakery...and I despise Islam...I can still buy a cake they have on display for public purchase.
But if I'm having a party to paint pictures of Mohammed in pig blood and serve pork and hire strippers....should I be able to force Allah's Holy Bakery to cater it?
No. I shouldn't be able to force them to do that.
So if the couple is happy to pick up their cake rather than have it delivered.....you're cool?
Absolutely. If they want a custom cake with rainbow and gay symbols on it...nah. Same as how I wouldn't want a Jewish baker to make a Nazi cake or a Muslim to make a Mohammed cake.
But if a gay man walks in and orders 10 standard cakes for a wedding? I'm ok with the law saying you can't deny the standard product you sell to everyone else out of the store.
Custom cakes and attending events....that should be a choice.
