Nowhere here am I referring to this specific case and I feel like I have made it very clear that I am talking about the past. Especially given that I mentioned cakes. The cases involving people not baking cakes or a photographer to the best my my knowledge were real cases. So while we can explain this one away we can't explain those other cases away unless you can tell me those were fake also. I can't find proof that they were. I am simply saying that something happened. Something caused things to go so far in the other direction after a lot of progress. We can stand up and say "trump", "desantis", or whatever else other thing that will make make us be able to point the blame somewhere else but that isn't helpful! If we don't actually look at this and recognize possible mistakes along the way we are doomed to fail. That isn't vicim blaming. We are in a horrible situation right now and we are continuing on a worse trend, we cannot afford to not have these hard discussions.
