If I was asked to be the photographer...I’d puke...and save it for the anti-Christian judge.
Note: Leftists can be “very religious.” Their god is an anus.
“And that reason includes the color of one’s skin or one’s ethnicity?”
Yes. Let the market place sort it out. The courts created the doctrine that the state has a compelling interest to end discrimination. The government yes, private individuals and corporations, no.
And you should not be required to supply the reason.
Absolutely. If we can't, then we are just slaves.
Nobody should be forced to associate or trade with anybody for any reason. If you are not free to choose whom you deal with, you are not free at all.
There is a difference in selling a product, and being forced to be part of the celebration of sin.
“If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.” ~Matthew 5:41
Can't entirely agree.If you're a devout Christian who owns an ambulance service you *have* a moral obligation..and *should* have a legal obligation...to serve everyone.Owners of photo studios and bakeries,OTOH,no way should they be coerced in *any* way.
The question was never ‘serving gays’ is was catering a gay wedding.
More push polls...
Could you turn them away just because they’re A$$HOLES and you don’t want their business or to have to deal with them?
Because these gay activists all seem to fall within that group
Here’s an idea: don’t refuse service, just be totally incompetent.
Yeah, sorry about your gay wedding cake being two hours late and tasting like crap. Maybe next time, eh?
Revelation 13:17
“So that no-one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is,the name of the beast or the number of its name.”
I think it is a fact that anyone who refuses service to someone trying to conduct lawful business needs to bear in mind that such policies can and will bite them in the butt in the end.
NO SHOES NO SHIRT NO SERVICE
You should be able to turn anyone away for any reason. It’s just like dating. No explaining is necessary. Should a catering service have to provide for ab adult movie convention? Absolutely not. This is all just PC silliness. The problem is the law specifically references “religious Freedom”. The truth is, it’s just a basic freedom that everyone has and should never give up.
Very few business owners would turn someone away just because of skin or ethnicity. All money is green, and a black person’s money is as good as a white person’s or a brown person’s or whatever. On very rare occasions it may happen that some dumb, silly, or bigoted business owner turns down a customer for a frivolous reason. In that case, the customer is free to boycott that business, tell his friends to boycott, etc. If we are to be a free country, such cases are the price we must pay. The alternative is forcing businesses to serve people they don’t want to serve, and for me, that is more unacceptable.

I was speaking of retail outlets only.
