It will become illegal soon. When real rights conflict with fake rights, the far left always sides with fake rights.
I admit I felt Olson was telling half the story. Maybe I need my ears cleaned.
I must have missed Olson saying there are protections for bakers, caterers, seamstresses ***in their shops.***
I didn’t notice any protection for bakers who don’t want to bake a gay wedding cake in their shop.
Or protection for seamstresses who don’t want to make gowns in their shops for lesbian brides.
It’s true that Olson seemed to be saying that participation in the celebration itself (ceremony, reception) may not be required by law.
Can you be forced to make decorations, bake a cake, or cook a meal, but opt out of physically distributing it to guests at the event?
I’m curious if there were powder burns typical when a handgun is an inch or two from the skin/skull.
He is correct
He’s not correct in Oregon or Colorado or New Mexico....

He speaks BS.
Olson is a tool, his wife must be spinning in her grave over some of the embarrassing statements he makes.
Earth to Ted:

So Ted, then why was the baker fined $135,000 for refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding even BEFORE this ruling.
she was a beautiful woman
The word ‘exercise’ is deliberately missing.
You can advocate and teach, but when you exercise it then the courts will decide the toss up.
You’re right about the current situation re: Oregon, Colorado, NM. I’m familiar with those cases. What I’m trying to say is that I believe he is correct in principle, and that the principle he is using is a distinction between people and activity or events. IMO this distinction should have been applied to the 3 cases. If these cases are appealed, and this distinction is applied at the appellate level, then the current decisions should be overturned, hopefully.
You’re right though, what should be, isn’t, right now.
