True indeed. However, I disagree with both the minor being made to give birth to a rapist's seed and a business owner being forced to offer his services to a customer/consumer he doesn't want to service. Though in the latter case, he offered the would be authoritarian couple other pastries and cakes, just not a custom baked one for a gay wedding.

Refusing to make a specific cake design but offering alternatives = literally Hitler

Pretty much the dumbest outrage story in ages. Those bakers had a right to refuse designs, regardless of the reason.

It's like suing Walmart for refusing to make a "Fuck Walmart" cake

Being gay period? NO!

Plus the fact that the same people bitch about people having kids and "muh tax money going to moochers. They only have kids to get the check!" while opposing abortion, gay adoption, and sex education.

The law agrees twice. He didn't refuse service flatly, just that he wasn't interested in baking them a cake for a gay wedding. As has been mentioned, the owners offered alternatives. At that point if its not to their liking, they're well within their rights to shop the competition.

I never said the law says a customer can demand "any kind of custom item," because it doesn't. What the law does say is that any item you would provide for one person you must provide for another, regardless of their orientation, race, religion, etc. This means that if they provide wedding cakes for straight couples, they must also provide wedding cakes for gay couples. Glad I could clear that up for you.

they did offer wedding cakes for the gay couple, just not the design the gay couple wanted. Considering I, too, am gay, this is a subject that I do care about. But it's one that is grossly misunderstood.

There's really no way you can argue around this, the cake discussion was overblown and misunderstood. The bottom line is that you cannot force another individual, or even another company, to produce a custom item to your specifications. They offered alternatives, which were turned down. If they had refused service entirely, then you would have a case.

No. If he doesn't want to provide the service he doesn't have to, provided he refuses it equally to all people.

dude, forcing someone to do something is wrong no matter what it is. screw your personal bias. its wrong to force a woman to carry a rape baby, its wrong to force somebody to labor for your whims. removing choice is wrong.

is it dickish to not make a cake because of personal beliefs? probably. but thats the choice being made.
you cant hold a stance that allows one group of people to have a choice and others not, even if it rustles jimmys. thats being hypocritical and not having an internal consisity.

Drugs should be legal the war on drugs has failed its easy to get them anyway

Guns need to be illegal so people can't get them!

#liberalsocialism

Don't frame your arguments around apples and oranges.

Business rights, when life begins, the benefits of banning drugs, and the benefits of banning guns have their own independent reasonings. Anyone can simplify it to disingenuous sound bytes that show you have no intellectual capacity to bother having any conversation that isn't an echo chamber of ignorance.

You can't refuse service to someone because they're gay. You can, however, refuse to make the exact product they want. You can sell them a generic one, or customized like the ones you make for everyone else.

Costco will make a happy face cake for you, but they won't make a Hitler Hentai cake.

The baker will make a wedding cake, but only designs he's willing to make. It doesn't violate anyone's rights when he refuses to make a specific design. Conversely, it violates his rights if you force him to make it.

You're discriminating against furries if you refuse to make a yiffing or clopping cake, right?

The baker has the right to choose which custom designs he's willing to make.

He doesn't have the right to refuse service to a gay person, but he can say he's only willing to sell certain designs.

It's literally the most cut and dried case of first amendment rights that exists. You can't force someone to make any customized item you want. It's not complicated.

It's why Costco will sell me a smiley cake but not a giant penis cake that shoots out frosting.

What is the cake in this particular example? If it's "Congratulations on your wedding Todd and Howard" with two groom figures, I don't think there's any way you could say the person is being forced to make a design against their wishes unless they would refuse to put the names of a straight couple and groom and bride figures. I feel you'd need an extremely flamboyant cake to have any grounds for refusal.

You can literally refuse to make a white cake if you're so inclined. Trying to set limits is missing the bigger picture - you shouldn't be able to tell someone else to make something exactly the way you want.
