The city of Phoenix is fighting back against a bid by a Christian law firm to get the state’s high court to conclude that businesses have a right to refuse to provide certain services to gays.
In new legal filings Friday, attorney Eric Fraser said there is no dispute about the heart of the case. “If a same-sex couple asks Brush & Nib (Studio) for custom wedding products, Brush & Nib will refuse service, regardless of the wording or design the couple wants,’’ he told the Arizona Supreme Court. And the owners of the firm would make a plain-vanilla wedding invitation listing “Pat and Pat’’ if it means “Patrick and Patricia’’ but refuse to make an identical one for “Patrick and Patrick.’’
“That’s why this case is about commerce, not speech, art, or religious beliefs,’’ he wrote. “Under settled law, the government does not infringe the freedom of speech or religion by prohibiting public accommodations from refusing service based on a customer’s race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.’’

No one should have the right to force others to provide services against their will. It doesn’t matter the service, or the reason for it.
Two Irish homosexuals
Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick
Seems to me those two have caused problems elsewhere before....hhmmmm
What would be wrong with a Christian baker, photographer, etc..using simple honesty with homosexuals?
When challenged, the business owner should simply say: “ The laws says I must bake the cake, but the laws does not say it has to be my best effort.”
And
” I can not guarentee you will be pleased with the result, so I’m offering a 10% discount if you want to chance it”
“We force our choices on you.”
Nah...
Wasn't slavery outlawed? If a shop doesn't want to make things my way, I go to a different shop. That's commerce. You get anal with a shop and they'll spit in what they're selling. And queers are experts in getting anal. Bunch of ah*les.
Not guilty.
There is explicit law requiring businesses to serve different races and sexes equally. Liberals assume this law applies to gender and numerous other catefories, e.g., language spoken. But no one is brave enough to tell them they are just wrong.
Amen!
Just the reverse. "I'll be happy to bake that custom cake. It'll be $38,510." If that quote is $37,000 more than other bakers, it's not the baker's problem. How to approach this depends on whether the point is to make a public statement or merely to avoid participating in sin. My strategy doesn't fight the leftist gay mafia demand that decent people work as slaves, but it does solve the problem for one baker.

It is harder to prosecute a discount of regular rates for a VERY substandard product.
But to inflate regular rates for a homosexual could be prosecutable.
Do you see what I’m saying?
Lets see if the two males would go into a m*slim-owned business and try this. Obviously not, so this is planned and staged to get money and to promote the fag-agenda.
actually, the micks are queers
“to serve gays”
It’s a cookbook!
Pretty sure that would apply to other EVENTS: a satanist wedding, a gang initiation, a nazi anniversary, a voodoo reception, etc.
Sure you can cite health reasons, but one could argue the same in the mere presence of a homosexual.
Yabut, they're clean and showered after their filthy act, so you can't cite homosexuality as a health reason.
Well, so too the shoeless and shirtless yet THAT policy is almost law.
Well, the faggots dont care about your and my perception of them. Conservatives here better wake up that they hate us and what we stand for.
When there is only one gas station within 100 miles maybe they should not be allowed to refuse sales. This craziness of the law getting involved with who you do business with needs to stop.
You have technically described “slavery”.
