This isn't a case about discrimination. It's a case about whether the owner of a private business has the right to decline making a client a personalized cake, which could kind of be construed as a piece of art, and the state and this couple went after him as if he was a bigot. I've changed my tune a bit after actually reading the details of the case. The couple seems like they want to be victimized and garner attention. This isn't the way to do it. |

They weren't refused public accommodation based on identity. They were refused based on message and expected conduct of making the cake. Those of which he did not support.
A bigot would tell them to leave his store. A bigot wouldn't give them phone numbers of other businesses that would be able to accommodate them accurately. I hate the fact that people think homosexuality is a sin and whatnot because...f*cking grow up...but this is different. EDIT: I have to go out. Read the f*cking details of the case. |
