I realize that there is a difference between a cake and a website, but you can 'poison' a website too.
I sure wouldn't want any product made by someone I forced them to make.
This stance is quickly becoming the accepted norm, I fear. Another sign of the rotting corpse of our former America.
What do people think this is, a free country? Move somewhere else.
Or fight back.
Why not just do such a crappy job that they won’t want to use it???
EVERYBODY has a bad day now and then, after all
More importantly, these reprobates are bring the judgment and wrath of the Lord God Almighty on this nation. There is little or no conscience, common sense, or belief in the Lord Jesus Christ in America these days. https://patburt.com/
The Supreme Chickens could have cleared this all up when they decided the CO bakery case, but they chickened out with a narrow ruling that leaves this a mess.
Is there some kind of fine involved? I don’t see how the faggots could sue for damages since she never took the job.
Could a NeoNazi sue a jewish web designer for not making a pro-Hitler website?
Could a Christian sue a fag web designer for not making an anti-gay website?
The Judgement is illogical and the judges should be removed from the bench because they are objectively mentally ill.
Take away the fact that the two people claim to be homos, does a person have the right to turn down a job? What if a painter didn’t want to paint a certain portrait? would they be legally compelled to do so?
Why do you even need to give a reason? the person just doesn’t want to do it.
Even after the judgement...The woman still isn’t going to make the website regardless. The case shouldn’t even have gone to trial.
Just wait until they force electrical training websites to state that male to male and female to female plugs will work.
"Terrible job" would mean...photos out of focus...wedding cake has too little sugar or is a horrible color...flowers that are stilted,dying,etc...
We need to ad to the bill of rights the freedom of association and freedom not to take action. example Government can take no action to compel the associations of people outside the pretext of government it self and under this law corporation are not to be considered people. this way a person with a private business cant be forced to have an association but corporations are not given the same protection other wise you will see social media platforms using this protection to deny free speech. I am sure a real lawyer could word this better.
GO GALT. Leave behind states with these draconian laws that protect perverts and promote their perversion.
And SCOTUS certainly had their chance when a Christian business refused to be complicit in the creation of a work for the expressed purpose of celebrating something contrary to the law of God as well as the highest law of the state at the time, as it was in the Masterpiece case
I don’t know what the scope of his business is but perhaps he doesn’t have to do business with anyone in Colorado.
If the courts were interested in upholding the Constitution, it would be so easy to distinguish between one who does a creative exercise as an employee and one regards their own business as an expression of Christian faith.
On that subject here is the letter I send to about 40 papers and commentators each December.
The Bill of Rights and Gay Marriage
The Bill of Rights Day on December 15 reminds one how far this country has departed from first principles. The 2015 gay marriage ruling completes a rewrite of the First Amendment. It says and used to mean, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press….”
We are familiar with the term “speech or expression’, which seems an innocuous expansion. However, “expression” enables a nearly unbounded multi-billion-dollar pornography industry.
Justice Kennedy’s majority opinion on gay marriage states, “The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to advocate and teach the principles that are so fulfilling and central to their lives and faith”. Such language restricts religious freedom by excluding “free exercise thereof”.
This restriction prohibits exercise of religious beliefs in business and personal lives even though the Constitution makes no distinction between individuals and their organizations, and churches. The interpretation marginalizes tens of millions of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim believers for whom God’s creation of heterosexual marriage means homosexual behaviors separate people from the love relationship God desires with humanity. Any subsequent scriptural reasoning applied must derive from that basic understanding.
Now we have a country where women, citing freedom of expression, can enter the adult film industry, but cannot cite freedom of religious expression to prevent being forced to direct their business creative activities to designing and baking wedding cakes for gay couples.

There used to be a right called “liberty of contract”. The government couldn’t compel someone to contract with another party. The died with the expansion of the Commerce Clause in the early 20th Century, which was used as the basis for the Civil Rights Acts. Liberty of contract is now quite dead.

God’s Word says:
“Their women exchanged the normal practices of sexual intercourse for something which is abnormal and unnatural.
Similarly the men, turning from natural intercourse with women, were swept into lustful passions for one another. Men with men performed these shameful horrors, receiving, of course, in their own personalities the consequences of sexual perversity.”
(New Testament, Romans 1:26,27)
Utterly stupid. Her product’s value is predicated on her personal commitent to quality. She can easily sell a $5. product with no integrity and include in it her personal ethical position. That is her work product. Pay for it or walk away.She is under no obligation to do more.
