Many bashed the bakery owners for not wanting to participate in gay weddings, yet are supporting the designer who will refuse to offer services to Melania and is asking other designers to do the same.

A few people declined doing gay weddings because of their religious views, something that is respected when it's other religions. This designer is refusing service simply because she doesn't like Trump. How is it that one cannot deny service based on religion but another can refuse someone solely based on their attitude towards someone?

Some decline because they truly believe they shouldn't. They aren't trying to be mean or get even with anyone. In the case of the designer, it's just out of sheer spite and she wants others to help her snub Melania. And haven't heard libs say there is anything wrong with that.

"Sophie Theallet is one of the top dressmakers in the world. Her designs have been worn by celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Gabrielle Union, and Michelle Obama.

She has famously begun a campaign to recruit every major fashion designer in the world to join her in refusing to provide a stitch of clothing to the new first lady, Melania Trump. Other luminaries in the fashion world such as Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs have joined the boycott.

So why is Ms. Theallet adamantly, vigorously and publicly refusing to dress the incoming First Lady? It’s a matter of values, you see. Her designs are not just dresses. “We consider our voice an expression of our artistic and philosophical ideas." Our brand, she says, “stands against all discrimination and prejudice,” and has “always been a celebration of diversity and a reflection of the world we live in." (Emphasis mine throughout.)

In other words, her designs represent her values on display, and she refuses to allow her artistic ability to be used on behalf of ideals she finds abhorrent. She is perfectly willing to give up income for the sake of something higher. “Our bottom line is not just about money.”

She concludes, "I will not participate in dressing or associating in any way with the next First Lady. The rhetoric of racism, sexism and xenophobia unleashed by her husband's presidential campaign are incompatible with the shared values we live by."

And for the highbrow elites in the fashion industry, this is perfectly normal, praiseworthy, and worthy of imitation. Abby Schreiber, the managing editor at Paper Magazine, said, "Fashion has always been about expression, provocation and, not infrequently, politics and, to that end, these designers’ refusal to dress Melania Trump is not, in and of itself, unusual for this industry.”

And she adds, if the person who would like to do business with you is linked to a message that is at odds with the brand you are seeking to cultivate, then it makes perfectly good sense to refuse to do business with them."

The future first lady/lesbian porn model is free to take the dress maker to court any time she wants.

Clearly the baker. The dressmaker is denying service to a person. Former first ladies are not a protected class under the bill of rights. Gays and lesbians are.

The former first lady was denied service because the dressmaker has issues with Melania Trump. That doesn’t make her bigoted or him, just discriminating.

That's a lie. They denied services to gays because they hate gays. Religion has nothing to do with it. Otherwise they would refuse services for people marrying their second, third, fourth, or fifth spouse. Jesus was very specific about divorces and adultery. He said NOTHING about gays.

Bigots have used the Bible as a shield for their hatred for centuries. Just like they used the Bible to deny blacks to marry whites and eating at integrated lunch counters.

Using the Bible in that way is blasphemy.
