The punishment misses the point badly. (Deliberately?) The business wasn’t refusing to serve homosexuals. It was refusing to bake a same-sex “wedding” cake.
It’s hard for me to believe this particular bakery was visited by these 2 at random.
It seems his religious beliefs must have been common knowledge around town since he also refused to bake Halloween cookies
VERY VERY important distinction!!!!
While I think any business should have the right to refuse service to anyone, I think making them a cake is really the wiser thing. BUT, making political statement by making a pro gay cake? That's something totally different.
