We relinquished the right to refuse service long ago

[Mr. K]

AND this ruling the opposite of other rulings where muslims were ALLOWED to refuse to do work based on their religious beliefs

(i.e. muslims who were fired for refusing to deliver beer were awarded tens of thousands of dollars upholding their right to religious belief)

I AM SO GLAD THEY APEALED THIS

[Mr. K]

"They want to “victimidate” society into a corner."

oooh that's good - I am using it

Not really, they had been selling them cakes and other goodies so it wasn’t just because they were gay. If it were, they wouldn’t have been selling them anything. It was because the wedding was against their religious values. Big difference.

I don’t know...a baptism, a confirmation? The comparisons are easy.

The point is that baking a cake for someone who happens to be Jewish or Christian is different than baking a cake to be used in a Jewish or Christian religious ceremony.
