If the bakery had refused to sell them an existing cake, then they should be shut down immediately, because this really is discrimination, but they were asking for a unique creation that was not being “offered.”

The concept of "freedom" requires us to accept that people can reject business for any reason they like. It is not the business of government to enforce morality on people.

That is why I HATE the so-called "civil rights laws"! They removed ALL of our right to association and made government to arbiter of all that is right, even for private business interactions!

SHOULD people have signs that read, "No blacks allowed."? NO! But, in a truly free America, people COULD have those signs! And in our Capitalistic society, SOCIETY would stop frequenting those racist, bigoted establishments and they would ultimately go OUT OF BUSINESS!

But, the GOPe didn't heed the warnings expressed by many of the "far-right" (of that day), who SPECIFICALLY said and worried about the over-arching ramifications of the Civil Rights Laws, as written! The never-ending, always over-reaching Federal courts keep adding more and more "civil rights" based on these laws! THESE LAWS, the 16th and the 17th Amendments are the largest FREEDOM KILLERS in our government! In my opinion!!
