Big difference between a bakery deciding who to sell to over a slaughterhouse.
I agree. But it wasn't me who said: "when the courts force a business to do something they dont want to do, then it means that government is too big and too intrusive."
I was just curious if the poster who said that actually meant it.
Last time I checked, religious freedom is a constitutional right. Although the the ruling went against him, the baker is not about to change his religious beliefs and will continue with business as usual. He will file an appeal and more power to him.
As others have said, why would they want him to bake their wedding cake anyway? Because of my ethnicity, I have faced discrimination many times. Did I make a federal case of it? No. I have better things to do with my time than cry like these two attention seeking gays.
exactly.

Major Payne style.
this is exactly the reason i would not want to force a business to sell to me if they dont want to.

it is one thing to force a business owner to sell to someone they dont want to sell to, it is another to sell to people and risk making them sick. which would you rather have, and outbreak of e-coli which is a health issue for everyone, or a completely free market where the business owner can do anything they want? personally health and safety codes do not violate anyones civil rights.
How can someone be order by a court, or anyone else, to produce a product? And how can they be "forced" to take sensitivity training? Or "make" their employees take it?
What, really, is the value of forced sensitivity training? When it was offered by my company, I simply chose not to attend as I see no value in it and don't need to waste time listening to leftist propaganda. Does anyone think it's really going to change someone's feelings about a situation?
Will this baker have to take a sexual preferences survey of all customers? What if a customer doesn't want to discuss it? No cake for them? And if he is "forced" to make cakes for gays, isn't that indentured servitude? I thought slavery was abolished long ago in this country.
How was anyone hurt? I wouldn't want someone who disliked me making a wedding cake for me. I'd rather find another baker. What's that? Oh.... it's an "agenda" thing and has nothing to do with cakes, eh?
I agree with you completely. But, this is the New Amerika, where we are no longer free to exercise our own religion, but we must embrace all others.
Very sad. This is what "progressivism" is all about. This is what the Democrats stand for. Vote them all out! Every last one!

There was a poster on another thread who said he,d put poison in a cake destined for a homosexual wedding. Yessirree, Bob!
There are some pretty sick minds on C-D.
it is weird to me. I don't know all the details, but the baker says he is no longer making wedding cakes.
How sad, but that was really the only choice he had if he wanted to stay in business. This is the kind of thing the Democrats support. Never ever vote for any Democrat again! They are like the Taliban. You must adhere to their rules, or you are put out of business.
I would never participate in a homosexual "wedding" by providing services for it. Sorry, but it's my right. Anyone who offends my beliefs does not get my service. Period.
