There's a resemblance to the brunette but it's not the same person.

Nobody has a right to order an artist to produce artistic expression on demand on a subject he finds abhorrent. You think you could force Barbra Streisand to sing hymns of praise for Trump?
All this means is that Christians have no religious freedom in AZ and that, sooner or later, there will be a persecution.
As long as they are blasphemous and to the atheists’ liking.
Well, that violates the First Amendment.
The government has no business telling private businesses how to run and whom to serve.
That *judge* way overstepped his bounds.
Will this same judge force muzzie cab drivers to accept seeing eye dogs in their cabs? Or any dog pets? Muzzies say dogs are unclean and against their religion; also accepting people carrying alcohol or even drunks.

Not if a business serves the public.
If you don’t like non-discrimination statutes, you’re free not to open your doors.
We have all have to obey laws we don’t like.
Refer all such requests to a lawyer. None can delay, confuse, or obfuscate better than a lawyer. ;)
The land of McCain and Flake.
“What on earth has happened to Arizona?? Is there something in the water there causing them to go loco??”
Even AZ is turning to shit...one of the last outposts. Damn Californians.
“Outsource the work.”
If it came down to it, what would - as you suggest - prevent the Christian artists from simply bringing the offending order to an accommodating shop down the street? In a rational world, nothing that I can see.
While reasonable, I suspect that if the Judge got wind of this, the Christians would be held in contempt. The Christians MUST be made to submit.
(”Submit”? Hmmm...isn’t that what the word “Islam” translates to? )
This is incredibly absurd, the notion that a judge can appoint himself as a higher authority and command obedience over the God of one’s beliefs. That’s really what this boils down to. I say obey the God you believe in, not this clown. You have freedom of religion. This judge is trying to force you to believe in him and HIS religion. He can’t do it.
Make the damned cake but make it ugly.
“What water? Half the state is a friggin’ desert.”
90%
Ruling violates first amendment rights, etc
Wrong.

Needanuther new judge!

Yep. If you're going to compel an artist against his will, accept the service he provides.

Not to be pedantic, but it was a she: Judge Karen Mullins
(I know you’d want to be as accurate as possible ;^)
