Refusing to dress Melania is not the same as refusing to bake a same-sex cake. One is all about abusing the force of government, about fascism under the threat of financial loss, imprisonment and even violence in violation of one's first amendment rights to worship as one chooses. The other is about what to wear.

[Mr. K]

Answer: No, because we say so.

[pgkdan]

Of course they're not the same. bakers who refuse to bake cakes for gay 'weddings' sre Christians. Designers who refuse to dress Melania are left wing, homosexual loving deviants.

Christian = Bad

Left wing, homosexual deviant = Good.

What could be simpler?

Cant have it both ways. Either a business has the 1st Amendment freedom of association or it does not.

If it does have the freedom, then it also has the freedom to NOT associate. That would empower businesses to decide who they want as customers.

If it does not have the freedom, then the business CANT REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE.

[Principled]

I will not participate in baking a cake for or associating in any way with the next gay wedding,” calling out the rhetoric of “racism, sexism, and xenophobia” in the homonazi's campaign"

The author not only fails to make his desired point, he makes our point for us.

Yes, I did change 3 things from his quote.

[Cicero]

What gays think is important and needs all our support. What Christians think, isn’t, and doesn’t. In fact. the word, and the very idea, of “Christian” is missing from this article.

“Christian?” What’s that?

[Steely Tom]

Steven Petrow is the owner of website www.gaymanners.com, and is past president of the past of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[GOPJ]

Tom Ford’s as delusional as CNN and ‘DC snowflakes’.

He WAS NEVER asked to dress the first lady... he’s just a jerk. Boycott his crappy ‘products’...

[JusPasenThru]

Bullshit.

[rlmorel]

I read that article. Incredible dreck.

[Spirit of Liberty]

If I was Melania, I would find the ugliest Tom Ford design on the rack to wear to the Inauguration.

Yeah, I’m mean that way.

[Billthedrill]

Of course not. “It isn’t discrimination when we do it.” Right.

[fwdude]

The answer is that “some animals are more equal than others.”

[RegulatorCountry]

At least they’re on the defensive about this stupid and honestly unconstitutional law forcing people to act against their conscience and religious belief due to some warped interpretation of equality.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Discrimination is OK when the left does it.

[AndyTheBear]

Declining to dress first lady isn't like refusing to bake same-sex cake.

The WaPo can torture logic all they want. But we sure as hell don't see any Muslim bakeries forced out of business for not making a cake for a gay wedding. The plain obvious truth they are pretending isn't true is that they favor persecuting Christians and conservatives and have nothing but special pleading for why what they advocate does not apply to other groups.

[Political Junkie Too]

One is about forcing us to comply with the wishes of the gay lobby, and the other is about forcing us to comply with the wishes of the gay lobby.

[Vaduz]

Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs are these the same people who dressed Michelle?if so no Pinto seat covers are safe.

[Steve_Seattle]

Leftists carefully craft anti-discrimination laws so that they can discriminate and conservatives can’t. In one sentence they will tell you that gays don’t have special rights, and in the next sentence they will tell you that gays are a “protected class.”
