Sounds like a win to me.

Both yes and no.

It is a win in that they now have to get off his back.

It now leaves people like me in the position to have to "prove" that our declining a commission is because of "sincerely held religious beliefs". The correct response should have been, "he has the right to decline any commission he wishes for any or no reason."

Let's say a family wants him to bake a cake celebrating that their three year old daughter won a beauty pageant. Now this is probably not something against his "sincerely held religious beliefs" but he might find kiddy beauty pageants as distasteful as I do.

Does he have the right to decline the commission?

What if the family is black?

I will take the win but as a small business owner who takes commissions it does not go far enough in protecting our right to say, "no".

You can come in my shop and buy anything off the shelf you wish, but I must reserve the right to decline any commission. If I can not, we have a problem.

The issue will live to fester another day, which is the second best outcome for the deranged left.

The sodomite lobby doesn’t necessarily want people to fawn over them, they just want people to apathetically shrug their shoulders with a “meh.”
