I think it should be clear to the reasonable reader that this statement is untrue. In the case of the baker, I've said more than once that his religious scruples can and should permit him to reject a pro-gay message on a cake.
Completely irrelevant to the case at hand. But you knew that already.
He can also choose what services he will provide to the general public
Again, completely irrelevant. This isn't about performing service. This is about selling a consumer good.
What he cannot do - as a public accommodation - is advertise services to the general public and then arbitrarily deny such services to certain customers because of who they are.
Nor did he do that. The court records prove it. And you know it too, Yet here you are again, lying.
The community through the political process determines the scope of anti-discrimination protection.
Which you oppose. When given the choice, you side with tyranny every single time.
Case in point - Colorado. The result of the political process in Colorado is that marriage is defined as a sanctioned union between one man and one woman. Do you embrace that political process? Or do you instead prefer the tyranny of those who wear black robes, who ignore the law and dictate exactly how society is to act in utmost arbitrary fashion, just like they did in this case?
My state, for example, proscribes discrimination on the basis of race but not on the basis of sexual orientation.
Your state also proscribes that marriage is between one man and one woman. It is even part of your state constitution. Yet you reject that in favor of someone in a black robe forcing Vermont law upon you. So enough with the sanctimonious BS.
And even if you did, it would be of no consequence in this case since there was no discrimination based upon sexual orientation or sexual preference. Because sexual preference was never brought up. Never. Not once. It wasn't mentioned by the customers that day. It wasn't mentioned by the customer the following day. It simply is not part of this case. And no amount of wishing on your part will change that. So stop posting things you damn well know to be false.
