As a devout Catholic, I have to disagree on one point. The baker is correct in his thinking. He's not refusing to sell cakes, nor even make cakes in general for homosexuals. I'm sure he'd sell them a custom birthday cake. But he doesn't wish to participate in selling them a cake celebrating what most Christians believe is a sacrament.

Completely different than health care or regular commerce.

No. He has a dilemma ; the one we’re talking about.

I would not want to participate in a homosexual marriage by selling them a cake. And I would say, ‘no, I don’t want to participate in that’

But the law, the court, is determining that I don’t have that right. So now I have to either close up shop, because now its not going to stop there, I’m a target now, if my law team hasn’t already bled me out, or I sell them the cake after losing in court, or without going to court

So now I have to consult the catechism, which is going to tell me that to do business in a charitable manner within the law.

If it tells me not to participate, then I have a freedom of religion case on my hands, which It doesn’t tell me, or I’d be in the same place as the nuns, which is before the Supreme Court against the pres, which this baker is not

So it’s a personal discrimination situation which he can either deal with or switch professions
