Topic	So where do you stand on the Masterpiece Cake v. Colorado Civil Rights case?
UnfairRepresent 12/11/17 3:31:01 PM #1:	Currently at the feet of the supreme court. Colorado Civil Rights Commission Masterpiece Cake View Results For those unfamilar with the case, it's the latest in the long line of "Christian bakery won't bake a gay cake" cases and perhaps the most important. The story is a homosexual male couple went to the bakery and demanded a cake. The baker said he would not make them a custom cake because he does not support homosexuality BUT he would abide by anti-discrimination laws and sell them any pre-made cake from his display cabinet. The gay couple refused the pre-made cakes and insisted he make them a custom one. The Baker refused and the couple set the dogs on him. Leading to an enormous hullabaloo. It's now up to the supreme court, the case is called Masterpiece Cake v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission and it's worth looking into. Here are the thoughts of a bisexual Polish-American Lawyer who I like (not sexually): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2Y7s5E44so So the issues (which is almost a hypothetical moral dilemma) are: IS the baker discriminating even though he did offer to sell them cakes? Is it okay for the gay couple to take him to court? He employs 10 people and has a successful businsess? Is it right to destroy this for the sake of debatable morality. And is it okay to FORCE a man against his will to create what is undeniably an art form, in a custom made wedding cake for something he feels is immoral. Citing the hypothetical of Neo-Nazis requesting a Nazi cake or a liberal requesting a congratulations on the abortion cake. Many people feel this is a violation of the 1st amendment. Others feel this is political correctness gone wrong. And others feel this is sick and discriminatory. What does CE think? https://apocalypsecakes.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/gaywedding.jpg This is a landmark case because the result of it will likely be a redrock that pretty much sets the stand for any and all "Gays vs Christian Businesses" Cases from here on out as it will set the precedent on how America views Religious Belief vs State Discrimination Laws. tl:dr: Is it discriminatory to refuse to create something custom for a customer you ARE willing to serve? --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:892019670] in So where d...
