[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question here.

If I was a baker, I wouldn't want to bake a cake for the Westboro Baptist Church or for a white supremecist group. I think I should be able to refuse that request based on my sincerely held beliefs, even if my business is open to the public.

How is that any different than someone who doesn't want to bake a cake for a gay wedding?

I know my example is a hypothetical, but this SCOTUS cake was basically based on a hypothetical example too.[/quote]

Here’s the thing I don’t understand. If I had a business and Westboro Baptist Church requested me to cater, I would be classy enough to say,  “Sorry I’m booked.” I have personally encountered Westboro Baptist Church and think they’re some of the most vile human beings to walk the face of this earth BUT they are free to be vile. I don’t need a court case to reject them. This case is just ridiculous and a waste of time. The woman clearly lacks any class or decency. She is just a bigot.[/quote]

She wants to protect herself against complaints and lawsuits and no matter what, people who disagree with her will call her names. Classy.[/quote]
She is “protecting herself” against a literal straw man.[/quote]
