What about refusing to serve black people ? This was literally the premise of civil rights.
- inlined 7y agoAnd the “but for” argument should have clearly applied here. They would not be denied a cake but for the gender (protected class) of who they were marrying. This was a clear case of judicial reinterpretation to meet an agenda.

- kelnos 7y agoRefusing to serve black people is illegal discrimination. It sucks that sexual orientation isn't a protected class in all states, but the bakers are legally clear here.
