Do these freedom of religion laws give people in that state the right to refuse to make the wedding cake or provide flowers to the gay couples?
That is the impression I get.
Hence the uproar.
Yes. But those are not essential services like food, lodging, medical care, et al. They are luxury services.
the people that want to make a buck will make a buck ,they will advertize ,”come over and get your Gay cake”
It gives you the right not to have to participate in an event you do not agree with.
It gives Jews the right to not decorate cakes with yellow stars and swatikuz
And African Americans won’t have to create T shirts with KKK and burning crosses on front
Yes because it’s based on an assumption of law of supply and demand. If there are other bakers, florists in the area that is willing to provide the service without any moral objections, then there is no “discrimination” because the gays have an opportunity to get those services met at another business.
