So if two people came in and wanted a wedding cake done to celebrate their Muslim vows, will he do it? If they come in wanting a wedding cake that praised Satan, would they do it?
It would be worth it to have some other test cases come to his shop just to show that his refusal goes beyond simply homosexuals. That this is just “one of a group” of cakes he would refuse to do.
He should also partner with another business that would have no such objections and refer those customers to that other business, including handing them that partner’s business card. In that sense, they are not refusing the request but redirecting the request.
Now, let’s say that a person performed wedding music instead of baked cakes and they had strong anti-Catholic views. Would the state of Colorado *compel* these musicians to perform at a Catholic wedding? If the answer is “no”, tell me the difference between objecting to wedding cakes and objecting to wedding music? How is it in the state’s interest to override the views, religious or not, of those who are asked to violate their own beliefs?
Is there a difference between ‘refuse to do’ AND ‘don’t do that kind’?
I do regular brownies, but I ‘don’t do peanut butter brownies’.
I do garlic bread, but I don’t do ‘pumpkin seed bread.’
I do wedding cakes, but I don’t do a ‘gay wedding cake.’
See my post #60.
If a gay shop owner refuses to make wedding cakes for a Christian wedding, that is also discrimination. But a judge won’t rule against the shop owner in that case.
The state government I would argue is discriminating against the owner for allowing this to even go to court. You’re right. The queers have won, this may even be how Christians will be rounded up.....re-education camps today, concentration camps tomorrow. Wait until Christians start being forced to go to these camps, but stop coming back. It will be too late then. The federal government needs a reset, and the country needs to be cleansed.
I don’t want to live in America anymore. Our President is a disgusting (likely a fag) evil muslim sympathizer at BEST, much of his administration is also, the LIBERALS will make sure that all the military leadership within 10 years will be FAGGOTS/QUEERS/MUSLIM SYMPATHIZERS. Christians are being FORCED to sell to FAGGOTS.
This country is done, over with. There is no coming back from this, it’s apparent that America is no longer needed in this world. America gone today, Armageddon tomorrow. Or perhaps our country is just at the end of it’s life, maybe Russia, or China will pick up the torch. I’m sure Putin would love to.
It started much like this in Nazi Germany, media/government telling people that the JEWS are evil, allowing people to discriminate, then they took the guns and then they killed 6 million people. There are differences of course. But it is apparent to me that Obama, and most of his administration and appointee’s hate Christians and hate Israel. Why don’t they hate Catholic’s, or Muslims and Buddhists too? Obama was sent straight from hell to hurt Jews and Christians. Might even be an/the antichrist.
