Understood and thanks very much.
If he's not doing business with her, isn't she a POTENTIAL customer? If he accepted her order and then gave her a substandard product because she's gay, she'd have a legit complaint.
He didn't refuse to sell a homo a cake, he refused to sell *anyone* a homo wedding cake. If they just asked for a cake without offensive decorations they would have been fine.
Based on what I know about these cases, noting that the states have never amended the Constitution to protect gay marriage, I think that this issue, along with a similar issue that happened in New Mexico, are good examples of state laws which violate Section 1 of the 14th Amendment. These laws have done so by wrongly abridging BorR privileges and immunities, 1A protected religious expression in these cases.
I think the lesbian couple targeted the Christian baker - I wouldn’t put it past them to try and collect some monies as a wedding gift. (gag).
I’m sure the state would redefine the term “customer” in this case.
My guess is that the obvious violation of the free exercise clause was likely to get their statute neutered so they slithered away.
No law can demand that a man sin.
the little statuettes on top of the cake were white
Oh, I’m a Honkey, too. LOL
Hot Cross Buns ping.
Thanks CounterCounterCulture.
Should have charged a $25,000. non-refundable deposit up front. A little something to direct to a needy charity after the ceremony.....usually runs the queers off without their having legal recourse.
He did not discriminate against them for their sexual orientation. He made a judgement that he would not make a cake for a gay wedding function. If the person who showed up to place the order had been straight, he would have still said no.
does he have the right to say NO to the KKK should they order a cake (white frosting on a white cake)?
I agree.
but shoot straight.
I think the pro-homosexual groups realized that if this case went to court, a Christian public interest law firm would offer free legal services and win big.
That’s mighty generous of our ruling class - choosing not to fine free Americans for exercising their God-given rights that are supposed to be inviolate under the First Amendment.
That is “freedom” that is here today and gone at the whim of a demented witch hunt being conducted tommorrow.
One of the big lies for the homo mafia is that if you do not cooperate with and promote their demands, you will lose so much business, you will fail. Being gay is good for business!
Personally, I pay attention and shop accordingly. To some, money can’t buy you love. : )
It means someone is half in the bag and posting gibberish on the net.
LOL That’s what I thought.
Thanks.
