The issue isn't the cake. The baker has said he will sell them any cake they want that they sell to other people.

What the baker doesn't want to do is to write a message on the cake for a gay wedding. And the plaintiffs believe they should be able to compel him to write a message of their choosing.

That's obscene - I wouldn't be in favor of forcing Muslim baker to sell me a cake that says "Jesus Saves" either.

I really wish that this case had been about the same gay couple going into a Moslem-owned bakery and demanding the same thing. It would have been very politically and socially interesting to pit the gay lobby against the Moslem lobby in this country. By the way, I believe that the result would be the same in either case, with the Court finding that the baker has the right to not bake the cake. We shall see this coming June.

Decorating a cake is putting your artistic abilities into it. That's a lot more personal than just putting pan of batter into the oven. Artists can choose who they work for and how they interpret the project. The cake decorator should be able to do the same as any other sculptor or painter.
