those of you who are defending the bakery on the grounds of "religious freedom", would you support a Muslim bakery that refused to bake a cake for a Christian couple? because it's the same thing.


A wedding cake, yes. The bakers obviously feel that by baking the cake, they're participating in the wedding, if they don't want to involve themselves in what they believe to be sinful activity, don't force them.
The are genuine times for protecting classes, this is not one of them. They gays come in off the street to buy pre-made cubcakes or something, they shouldn't be denied.


after reading more about this case, i think i'm in the same ballpark as you.

we've seen similar cases where a print shop, for example, can't be forced to print something the owner/worker disagrees or has issues with. for example, a Christian sign maker could refuse to create a custom sign that said "ALLUH AKBAR", just like a Muslim could refuse to print a picture of the Charlie Hebdo (whatever) cartoon.

I dunno. What if it was a "black wedding" for example? If you are in the service industry, serving people you may not like is just something you need to put up with (unless want they want is actually questionable/illegal/whatever)

Your religious views shouldn't exempt you.
