[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Is there a place card for the baker at the reception?  is the baker in the wedding pics?

If not, they didn't participate.[/quote]

Creating art for something is participating.

Art is different than producing a product. Art is an incredibly emotional, personal expression.  An artist, no matter what their medium, should not be coerced to participate in or produce a creation for anything they do not feel like having their art be a part of.

If you were an artist you would understand the personal nature of the creative process and why no one should be forced to create art for an event that conflicts with their values.

You see a box of flour, some sugar and some eggs.  You are wrong.[/quote]

Give me a break. A baker is not an artist any more than a hairdresser is.[/quote]

Oh please.

You go home tonight and try to create and decorate a wedding cake. Not just a regular wedding cake, but an amazing, beautiful and tasteful wedding cake, with sugar flowers and perfect icing.

Then come back tomorrow and post a picture here and we will tell you whether or not creating a wedding cake is indeed art and a creative process.

Making a wedding cake is art. Pure and simple.

We are not talking about bran muffins and blueberry cobbler here.[/quote]

I love blueberry cobbler. Will a Christian baker make it for my gay wedding?[/quote]

I am not a professional baker, but I am a Christian and I make a fabulous blueberry cobbler. I would make it for you any time you want to come to my house to eat it, or I could give it to you as a gift. I would not, however, make it as a part of your wedding celebration.[/quote]

And that is a-okay because you don't have a business that is open to the public selling cobbler (but only to some people). [/quote]
