[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So someone clarify this....if selling a cake to a gay couple for a wedding is "participating", why isn't selling a gun to a murder "participating" in the murder?[/quote]

Because baking a cake or producing photography is creating art to participate in the event.

For me, it is similar to the artists saying that certain politicians who do not share their beliefs may not use their music in their events, even if said politician purchased the music legally and paid the ASCAP or BMI fees.

The politician might argue that the music is just background to contribute to the mood of the event, but the artist who created the music feels that by lending their legally purchased creation, built through their own artisitc talent, in some way communicates the message that they agree with or endorse the politician or are helping the politician to further causes that the artist does not believe in.

Singers often pull their legally purchased songs and refuse to participate in various events through their recorded music using just this argument.

It is the exact same argument that these bakers and photographers are making and it is just as legitimate as the music artist who refuses to let Mitt Romney or Ted Cruz use their sons as background for their events.
Creating wedding cakes and taking beautiful pictures is art and is a personal expression, just as music is.
