In both cases it's a matter of being able to choose whether to participate in a message you don't agree with.
- tshaddox 6y agoShould web hosting providers participate in messages they don’t agree with by literally distributing those messages?
- throwaway201103 6y agoNo, I mean AWS can choose to not host Parler, so why can't a baker choose to not make a gay wedding cake?
- klyrs 6y agoGay wedding cakes don't kill cops.
- quickthrowman 6y agoWhat do you mean? The Supreme Court sided with the baker.[0] So why shouldn’t AWS be allowed not to host Parler if the baker can choose not to make a gay wedding cake?

- tw04 6y agoIn one case it's a message of love. In the other it's a message of hate. You're personally welcome to treat them both the same, but I think you'll find most of society will treat the messages very differently. If you can't understand why I'd imagine you're going to spend a lot of your life being extremely confused, angry and frustrated.
- throwaway201103 6y ago(I can't see the flagged post that's at the top of this subthread so if this is a bit out of context that is why) If the baker thinks it's a message of sin, then what? It's not like selling them a room at a hotel or any other standard thing. This is a custom crafted item and message that they are being asked to help propagate, and one that they disagree with.
- quickthrowman 6y agoThe Supreme Court decided the baker doesn’t have to make gay wedding cakes. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/04/us/politics/supreme-court-sides-with-baker-who-turned-away-gay-couple.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/04/us/politics/supreme-court...
- tw04 6y agoWhat exactly is your point? I would hope a baker would treat someone who they feel is sinning by being in love with the "wrong" person, differently than they treat someone who is advocating for the elimination of an entire group of people due to their race or religion. ESPECIALLY given that the baker believes in sin because of their own religion... The fact you're equating the two is actually disturbing.
