That whole thing was weird. I guess if you're a creative professional, be it an artist, designer, or cake decorator, there's going to be some degree of soul-selling you'd be expected to do where you make a decent effort on a project where you'd rather not.
But forcing people to make cakes they feel morally icky about sounds like a guaranteed way to get some really ugly, half-assed cakes. Whether we like it or not that they feel that way doesn't seem to matter because an ugly cake that validates me is still an ugly cake.

Whether we like it or not that they feel that way doesn't seem to matter because an ugly cake that validates me is still an ugly cake. I don't know the details of the case but I think there is a clear line between refusing to do usual service because somebody is from a protected group. Like a ordinary wedding cake only because the person ordering is gay. vs Refusing to create a wedding cake because it is offensive. Like customer asking for a cake in a shape of penis or something offending the artist.
- amanaplanacanal 6y agoYou are definitely touching on a first amendment issue here. Can I as a creative be forced to make something that supports a message I find abhorrent? The Supreme Court didn’t rule on the first amendment issue. I expect that will come up again at some point.
