This is a fun thread. Mainly because it is so silly. There no real big substantive issue involved with the baker's "rights".......or the gay couple's "rights".
It's just a bunch of social media chatterati snipping and sniping.
Fun stuff. No harm. No foul.
IMHO
Anyway, let 'em eat cake. But don't worry cake don't have real genitals or hormones. You be safe.
Trust me.
--------------------------------------------------------
Hopefully, next time he refuses, it will be because of the customer’s political beliefs
I think, Frank....tho I honestly don't know....but I think that legally he could do that. Being a Democrat, or a Republican or a Rotarian.....ain't a protected class. I don't think.

Our government has no right to demand any product be sold by any business.
I
f the guys sells cakes to people. Then he should sell cakes to all people. Duh!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This baker can, and does have the right to sell certain products, and not others. And there certainly is precedent for it.
Ummm, Norm....he sells cakes. No one is asking him to do pot-roast. A cake is a cake. Put a birthday candle on it....it's still a cake. Put a baby Jesus on it....it's still cake. Put a bunny on it....it's a cake. Duh!!! A cake by any other name is still......a cake.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The idea is generate a "no" response from the baker so the homosexuals can FORCE them to comply or else. That's how the couple gets off.
Ummm????? "How the couple gets off?" Eeeeeuw!
Polish Prince may the forum ask how you would be familiar with such a detail?
---------------------------------------------------------
could be forced to bend a knee to them.
Same as above, Polish Prince.

Tammy is a ******* Limey.
As always, poster GMCGeneral....the forum recognizes your consistency in believing your vulgarity represents your avatar and it's like..... in the best light.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I refuse to do business with leftist vermin all the time.
How do you tell?
The false-flag MAGA hats?
Or the false-flag QAnon lapel pins?
------------------------------------------------------------
Just another assault on religious belief.
It's a religious thingy.....to bake a variety of celebratory cakes for the general public?
Who knew?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If it's against the law then he will have a consequence.
Yes, poster Michelle.....I quite agree. If it is against the law for the baker to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation....and it can be proven.....consequences will follow. In some degree.
-------------------------------------------------------------
the idea that accommodating those gay and transgender somehow ‘compromises’ one’s religious beliefs is ridiculous;
'Ridiculous'? No, it's worse than that. It is a mutation and perversion of religion into some kind of weird societal weapon that harms not only the people it discriminates against.....but in time, the practitioners of those dark beliefs.
I'm damn sure of that. I think.
-------------------------------------------------------
What would Jesus say, poster Blaster?
--------------------------------------------------------
can force a business to sell certain products,
If he sells cakes, he's gotta sell cakes to everybody.....most especially to protected classes. Duh!
Do this, poster Norm: Put a different candle on the cake. It'll be a different cake. But still a cake. It'll be a distinction without a difference. Duh x2!
----------------------------------------
gay bakers and insist they bake me a catholic cake.
I didn't know they did that.
What's a "catholic" cake? How do you tell?
What's different with one of those than say, a Lutheran cake?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why don't homosexuals solicit customized baked goods from Muslim bakeries?
Maybe they do? Who says they don't?
I don't know.....but you seem to indicate that you do.
How do you know?
----------------------------------------------------------
Example: if he’s made same sex cakes for a same sex heterosexual marriage, he would be obligated to make cake for all same sex. If he hasn’t? Then it’s not one he offers.
Norm, (this is getting to be Whack-A-Molish).......but, he bakes C-A-K-E-S. Cakes don't have genders. Cakes don't have sexual preferences. Nor hormones.
They are F-O-O-D. Food doesn't care who eats it.
What is so darn hard about understanding that baked up flour-sugar-eggs-and water can't determine the sex or sexual preference of who is eating 'em? Duh!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bake the homos a Sodomy Cake.
Eeeeeeuw!!! That's your second bite out of that type of apple. Are you kinda stuck on applying some sort or type of sexuality to a mere cake?
Give it up, poster PP. No DNA test of a cake is gonna bail you out. It's making you look more than a little weird. Kinda kinky. Kinda fetish-y. To be honest.
-----------------------------------------------
public policy that he puts a Bible verse on every cake he sells
Think there's a market for that?
In Skokie?
In Dearborn?
Seems counter-productive to limit one's markets.
IMHO
-------------------------------------------
smelled like jizz and man-ass..... worst case, you get a dose of rat poison and heavy metals. You ilk is ******* stupid, son.
Ah, good poster 2Iron. The forum recognizes your insistence that your crass vulgarity always adds value to whatever discussion the rest of the forum is attempting to host.
You can be depended upon for that.
I ain't gonna call you MAGA.....or Q. But those folks may not liked being lumped in with you.
Just sayin'
