Had he refused them service in general, that is one thing. He said he would sell them anything else, he just balked at the “custom order.” You seemed to miss the point. So, Ill pose you the question.....should a gay printer be forced to take and order to create a 100 foot banner that says “Homosexuality is a sin before God.” Should a black painter be forced to accept a contract to paint a portrait of a KKK leader? That is the point.
I dont see this so much as a gay/straight issue, rather as a matter of the state dictating the work that a craftsman must accept.
It was all about the "product" that the baker did not make in the first place. Never had made one, and refused to be browbeaten into creating something he never would.
He had no problems with serving gay customers, so the issue of "public accommodation" is NOT even on the radar.
I am starting to really dislike gay people.
I had gotten to where I just didn't care.
But this kind of blatant harassment has no place in our society.
And yes it is as disgusting as anything the fascists and communists did.
Civil Rights Commissions?
Unaccountable to anyone?
Abolish. NOW!
