I think the guy is in the right, he should be allows to refuse. What if a customer came in and asked for a genitalia mutilatuon cake? Or anti vaxer cake? Or child marriage cake? Why should he have to make a cake for any of those sick fucks? Gender transitions isn’t in the same level of course but if you can compel him to make one of those you can compell him to make the other and that’s not a door I want to open
What someone refuses service to someone who came into their business and claimed to have an objection to serving the Sons of Ham using your logic is that in the right? Yes, you should be able to refuse tasteless projects. No, you shouldn't flatly deny a segment of people. Like every example you chose is not even relevant here. You said a way stupider thing than I thought. My bad.
If I were a baker, I'd bake a cake for anybody. Fundamentally, I think there's a problem with permitting merchants to exclude entire classes of people for any reason unrelated to safety. But I also think this wasn't a customer looking for a cake, this was a lawyer looking for a constitutional challenge.The case involves an incident from June 2017, when lawyer Autumn Scardina said she asked for a cake with a pink interior and blue exterior to celebrate the anniversary of transitioning from male to female. "The woman on the phone told me they do not make cakes celebrating gender changes," Scardina wrote in a complaint to Colorado's Division of Civil Rights.
I haven’t read the whole thing, but I’m fairly certain the bible comments on gender transition about as much as it does heart surgery or the sin of taking Tylenol. All the old guys wore dresses, it doesn’t seem like this would have been on their radar when they wrote it.
I got community tagged with something I don't understand but seems to imply I'm outraged. Fine. Dude just seems to have a business built on not doing a thing. What is this man's business model if it's not MAKING FUCKING CAKE. Seems to be suing the queers. Don't sue everyone who wants delicious cake if you're a homophobe or just don't make cake for a living. Otherwise your business is moral outrage I'm personally not so much outraged as confused. Is your job baking or is it suing? You must pick one.
you're only allowed to care about one thing at a time and this example of religious overreach doesn't matter because it's gays and not whoever we're supposed to care about (little faggy atheists that are easier to relate to?) it's a cynic's arms race and the sooner we can all get to the point where we don't care about anything the sooner we can go to the grave in peace
