Quote:Those gay couples certainly weren't discriminated against because they were gay.  The bakeries wouldn't have sold "I support gay marriage" cakes to straight couples either.  Gay couples could/can buy any normal cake that a normal person would buy without what the bakery deemed an offensive agenda sprawled across the top of the cake.  

 

Should a bakery be forced by law to write "I support radical Islam" for muslim extremists?  Or would that not be discrimination?

 

You can't have your cake and eat it too.  Pun intended!

 

 

Quote:It's not exactly the same. It needs a different message written on it, and a non-traditional pair of figurines on top. But here's an analogous case:


 

An African American baker sells anniversary cakes. They just recently made one celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Black Panthers. A white guy comes in to buy a cake celebrating the 150th anniversary of the KKK. The baker finds such a thing is offensive. Should he be required to bake that cake nonetheless?

 

A wedding cake is a wedding cake is a wedding cake. It is a product you sell. If you refuse to sell it to a certain group of people due to a cherry picked belief in the inferiority of that person than that is 100% flat out discrimination. 

 

A KKK anniversary cake is not a cake one would generally carry, and if they do then sure go ahead and sell it but if you carry wedding cakes and then refuse to sell them you are discriminating.

 

What is so hard about understanding the difference between refusing to make special items like supporting KKK cakes and selling a wedding cake that you would normally sell to anyone else. This fallacy keeps being brought up over and over again as if you all actually believe it rather than it being just someway to spin and argument.
