Also untrue.

Unless you have knowledge they would do such a thing, your post is pointless.

This baker should have referred the 'customers' to the nearest Muslim bakery.

I could go on, but if you don't get the basic point here, it will not help.
Bakery did not refuse service, only to prepare a cake that went against their beliefs. My lord, how hard is that for some people to understand.

It is what it is and both sides do it so let's quit pretending everyone involved are all such victims.
Exactly.

Like opponents of affirmative action filing suits against universities. Like Fisher vs. University of Texas. (aka Becky with the bad grades). It's the same people (Edward Blum) behind those suits, too. They do it time and time again.

I say, bring it on.

Bill Maher was actually funny and made an obvious point.

So Muslim bakeries are making LGBT-themed cakes for anyone that requests one?

Ultimately, these lawsuits are good because we need to clarify certain laws that are ambiguous and/or contradictory. As you can see from the discussion, people are confused if the baker's constitutionally protected rights (freedom of religion) allow him or do not allow him to discriminate in his bakery.

I'm on the side of the baker but I want to see this work its way to the USSC so precedence can be established across the USA.

Not too much stress? Try: he's loving every minute of it. He has become enamored of the attention whoring. He was a nobody, now he's solicited for interviews from the national news media. Loving it! Is it a stretch to wonder if he's paying people to request immoral cakes? Other Christian bakers are kicking themselves: "That could have been me..."
