For example, order a sheet cake for church or an event (maybe a party) with Christian messages or scriptures such as “Children need a mother and a father” or “Marriage is one man and one woman.” Or: John 3:3 “You must be born again” or “Jesus is Lord.”
Or order a sheet cake with conservative messages or candidates, like “Ted Cruz / Sarah Palin 2016.” Or “The Second Amendment: It’s the Law.” Or “Global Warming Hoax R.I.P.” Or “Happy Birthday Tea Party.”
(3) When a baker refuses to do the job or photographer refuses to cover a conservative or Christian event (or intentionally screws it up), file exactly the same type of lawsuit as homosexual activists. And of course tell the press, mostly the conservative media and talk radio.
The root problem here is a “public accommodation.” Back in the era of Jim Crow laws and the civil rights movement trying to end discrimination, there was a serious problem. Blacks traveling might enter a town and find that no one would rent them a motel room. They might have nowhere to stay at all. Blacks might not be able to find any restaurant where they could eat.
So the idea of a “public accommodation” – essential service – became important. How do you balance the right of a private business to do whatever he or she wants with their property (their business) and the rights of individuals? The only justification for telling a business whom they have to serve is when people have nowhere to go at all for essential services under discrimination.
That is what a “public accommodation” means – a hotel, a bus line, a taxicab, a restaurant. Civil rights laws guarantee essential services that are so fundamental that a person cannot reasonably survive and live if minorities are denied service.
But the vast majority of businesses are not “public accommodations.” If one photographer doesn’t feel like working with you, there are plenty of others. If one gift shop won’t sell you a snow globe, you’ll live.
Wouldn’t work. They wouldn’t support, the people trying would be labeled as bigots or worse, and the courts would back them up.
Note that two music groups cancelled contracts with the Boy scouts, deciding they didn’t like the BSA gay stance, and nobody went to court to FORCE them to provide services without regard to political viewpoint.
You can do that. but i wouldn’t actually eat anything prepared by them. i have John 3:16 in Aramaic. used to be on my door. looks like a piece of the kooorrrannn.
Remember this case a few years ago?
A grocery story didn’t want to put a little boy’s name - “Adolph Hitler” - on a birthday cake:
Probably almost everyone - conservative, liberal, whatever - agreed that the store had the right to refuse.
