Just a minor note but you misunderstood the cake case. They were willing to bake a cake for a gay couple, just not one celebrating gay marriage.

- eesmith 6y agoI edited my comment some, so I not sure quite what it is I misunderstood. I'm pretty sure I did know that as checked the Supreme Court decision while working on my comment, and it says https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-111_j4el.pdf https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-111_j4el.pdf > Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd., is a Colorado bakery owned and operated by Jack Phillips, an expert baker and devout Christian. In 2012 he told a same-sex couple that he would not create a cake for their wedding celebration because of his religious opposition to same-sex marriages—marriages that Colorado did not then recognize—but that he would sell them other baked goods, e.g., birthday cakes. In my comment I removed text where I quoted from the decision, as there's no way that decision can be discussed in the sort of off-handed way that jpxw brought it up. Also, I didn't realize there were multiple relevant cake maker lawsuits, so perhaps jpxw could be more specific, as the Supreme Court decision doesn't seems to have a direct bearing on the topic, leaving the underlying issue in confusion.
- akvadrako 6y agoYou seemed to suggest the cake case was about excluding certain people as clients. That's what I thought you misunderstood.
