Bit of an aside, but could they not just go to another bakery? You'd think they'd prefer to give their custom to someone whose values are more aligned with theirs (or whatever). Also, seems easier than going "Arrgghghgghg!! Your trampling on my rights to cake!!" and spending the rest of your life in court.

Also, don't think the baker was outside their rights to refuse service to someone, even if you don't agree with their reasons. But, before banana blows a load in his pants, I think twitter can also block whoever they want if that person agrees to their rules when they sign up and then breaks them. Even if that person is orange.

That's actually not an aside. that was the whole point I was making in the beginning.

they could just go to another bakery. But they don't. Which makes me think they went looking for the one baker who would put up a fight, and decided to try and bully him.

What I said in the beginning that started this hullaballoo is that based on what I see, gay activism seems to be mostly about harassing Christians.

If you are witness to a crime, you are compelled to truthfully report what you witnessed to the authorities, though you may not wish to do so.

Not to de-rail, but I'm pretty sure this is wrong.

Monkey, I'm just skimming your argument with ong. You guys are on some real irrelevant tangents and you're both presenting "facts" that you most obviously pulled out of your ass. But I noticed this gem...

I mean... what if the flour mills decided they wouldn't sell flour to anyone who makes gay cakes - or anyone who buys their flour and then sells it to someone who makes cakes?

This is absolutely positively NOT the issue, at least not in any legal case that I've ever heard of. A flour mill sells flour. They don't get to judge who buys it or what they do with it afterward. No one believes they should be able to do that. To my knowledge no business has tried to do anything like that. I've explained this to you many times using hot dogs and cheesesteaks as examples. You seem to insist on pushing the argument back to this imaginary boogeyman that does not exist.

the behavior your describing is prohibited by law in all 50 states. We have anti-discrimination laws and penalties for breaking them. Discrimination is wrong, everyone agrees, and offenders should be punished. Nobody disputes that. If you see it happening somewhere, please share a link.

But in every case that has enough merit to go to court....it's been a case like what I've been describing. Someone isn't asked to simply sell a good or service without prejudice. they are being asked to DO something that is contrary to their free exercise of religion and/or violates their freedom of speech.

A Jewish man owns a jewelry store and offers custom engraving. Does he have to sell jewelry to skinhead neo-nazis? Yes he does. Does he have to engrave a swastika on it if asked? No he doesn't.
