Should a businsess be allowed to decline a gay custom product?
Vote
The businsess would refuse on "Religious moral grounds" and then the customer would sue for discrimination. Then public hysteria would brew and lots of people would scream at each other. https://i.imgur.com/pGoAW2W.jpg The question boils down to: Is a private businsess allowed to refuse custom services or should discrimination protections supercede businsess rights? I think it's fair to say that if a bakery refused to serve a Mexican couple, everyone would be against them. But if a bakery refused to make a gun cake to celebrate firearms for a 2A loving couple, everyone would say it's their right. So where is the line drawn? --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ... Copied to Clipboard!

If I own and operate my own business I should be able to say no to anyone for any reason. End of discussion. Maybe I think oreo cake tastes like shit and I just refuse anyone who insists on oreo it really doesnt matter.
Of course you cant always say why youre refusing someone so obviously if you own the business you need to have a few handy lines ready for whenever customers come in you don't want to serve. Answers or methods that are politically correct like just say sure and never actually make the cake then before they come to get it say it fell then refund them over the phone. ...

Refuse to bake a cake for gay people? Its fine, said the red hat, because, freedom!
refuse to give life-saving medical attention at an ER trauma unit to a gay person? Its fine, said the red hat, because, religious liberty! refuse a Genos cheesteak to a customer unless he orders it in perfect, no-accent English? Its fine, because, patriotism, said the red hat refuse to serve people wearing MAGA hats, at a Mexican restaurant or Huckabee Sanders at a breakfast restaurant, or refuse to allow grocery store customers not wearing a face mask in the middle of a pandemic?

When I eat a cake I make sure it's been tested for homosexuality as to not get any homosexual cake in my mouth, then it might turn me gay! First the water and now the cakes. The government wants me gay for some reason but so far I've dodged the gay bullet but I think me driving a Kia soul gives out the wrong signs. Ok I'm probably already gay ffs. Give me a slice of the fucking cake.

If it's just a wedding cake for a gay wedding they should do it.
If it's a custom cake they don't offer normally they can decline. If it's a written message they don't want to do they can simply sell the standard cake to the customer and the tools for the customer to write a message themselves. If they turn down a customer because of their orientation instead of the product they're asking for it's discrimination, --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's not comparable at all. Cakes are not cars Any bakery can bake a cake. The Christians aren't opposing due to brands or different mechanical components. They are refusing on moral grounds. Toyota isn't refusing to give you BMW parts on moral grounds. You just dodged the actual point and rambled instead --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ...
