[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]
Exactly. It’s about forcing her personal intolerance on everyone else and undermining a law that dares to suggest discriminating against gay people is wrong. It’s not enough for her to think to herself that gay people are icky. She wants the law to elevate her feelings into a right that supersedes the rights of gay people to access basic services, because then it means her feelings can’t be condemned as the hate they are.[/quote]

Don't confuse "her" and "she" with the Alliance Defending Freedom. They cooked up this case, and got her to go along with it. She didn't do any of the thinking or acting here. They did. It's the ADF's case, not "hers." [/quote]
