Since your version of the facts don't mesh with reailty as others have pointed out... are you going to now reverse your stance and support the baker? Or are you just a bigot and arbitrarily condemn bakers just because?
If they were trying to buy a package of premade cinnamon buns off the shelf, you might have a point. This was a request to create, from scratch, with a theme that the artist found offensive. Your lack of respect for his beliefs in this area is simply hateful.
I've stated earlier in this thread the facts of the case, quoting from the briefs filed with the Court. Please point out how I have misstated the facts. The baker refused service ab initio, as soon as he heard the customer was going to use the cake at an event of which he disapproved. There were no discussions about messages on the cake, or the "artistry" the baker would be forced to employ. The record shows that he refused service to another customer who merely wanted cupcakes - cupcakes! - for a "commitment ceremony". Oh the horror of facing his God and having to explain that, yes, he sold frosted cupcakes to abominable perverts.
He may fancy himself as an artist, but I fancy him as a bigot. What has he done to earn my respect? What gives him the right to jam his religion down his customers' throats? If he doesn't want to make wedding cakes, that's his right. But if he does, then he should serve all his customers on the same basis - that's the law. That doesn't mean he can't refuse service. He can refuse to place an offensive message on the cake. But to reject his customers' request out of hand merely because it's a wedding cake and they're gay? That's arrogant and illegal.
