The baker has the right to refuse to make a cake for divorcees if she wishes. She has the right to refuse to bake a cake for the grand opening of a porn shop. This isn’t refusing to serve a particular person. It is refusing to make a particular kind of cake. The baker can say they don’t make gay wedding cakes...but I’d be happy to show you some other cakes we do sell. Refusing a black patron just because they are black is unconstitutional by amendment. If the black patron wanted a cake that says, “Free Mumia”, the baker should be able to say, I don’t sell those kinds of cakes.

What would a divorce cake look like anyhow. Split?

Wouldn’t this law have made it legal to refuse service to someone based solely on the grounds that it was against their religious beliefs? What if I interpret my faith to mean that all of (insert race, creed, gender, etc.) are not worthy of being served by me? How loosely can it be interpreted? Isn’t that basically the same as Jim Crow laws? These situations arise all across a spectrum, and while there are easy cases on the ends, there are hard cases in the middle. I know I’m raising more questions than answers ... that’s how law often is, unfortunately.
