| Topic | Judge rules California baker can't be forced to make gay wedding cakes |
| Calwings 02/07/18 3:55:42 PM #21: | Frostshock posted... Businesses should be allowed to discriminate on what contracts they want to take, which is quite different from providing general services to everyone who walks through your door. This is the key point. If the baker had just flat-out refused to serve that couple or do anything to help them, I would disagree. But the baker didn't feel comfortable making that specific cake, then calmly recommended alternatives to try and help the couple still get what they wanted. That's IMO enough help to not get sued. But I do have a future concern about this. What if the competitor that this baker recommended answered them the same way and refused to bake their cake? What if every single bakery in the city did the same? How many refusals would it take for the situation to go from "this baker doesn't feel comfortable making this cake because it's against his religion" to "this couple isn't receiving a service they're willing to pay for just because they're gay" and cause an even bigger problem? --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" http://i.imgur.com/77wmLjE.jpg ...
