[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not legal, I'm surprised by the number of people who think it is. Businesses that offer services to the general public cannot deny services to a customer based on his or her race. The bakery/gay customer case is a different issue, I won't bore anyone with specifics.[/quote]

No, please do bore us with the specifics. I want to know how it is different, [/quote]

The baker claimed it violated her free speech and freedom of religion rights because the baking of a cake was “expression”. It’s bonkers. [/quote]

Stop right there. It wasn't "just a cake" it was to be a custom artistic design.[/quote]
Yeah, like every other wedding cake.  The baker didn't object to the design they were asking for, she objecting to making a cake for a same-sex wedding.  Two straight people could have ordered a cake with the exact same specs and she would have made it.  [/quote]
That's part of it. It was a custom cake that was going to take hours of time. Should a Palestinian baker be forced to make a custom bar mitzvah cake decorated with lots of Stars of David and Hebrew writing that they otherwise don't sell and haven't made before?[/quote]
You can make up all kinds of straw men in your head, but the owner didn't object to the design they wanted; he objected to making a cake for a same-sex wedding.  Having been to some same-sex weddings, their cakes looked just like straight people's cakes. They are decorated with ribbons and flowers and whatnot, not religious symbols.  [/quote]

Because the custom cake is participating in the wedding and martiage ptocess, which was against her religion.[/quote]
