Lol. Describing the baker as an 'artist' when all he had to do was pipe a message onto the cake in icing. Guess I'm an artist because I type shit on this keyboard here.

America still a backwards theocratic shithole I see.


Lol, comparing birthday cakes with wedding cakes.

Maybe they get their wedding cakes from the grocery store for 14.99 including a free plastic butterfly ring over there

let's not be culturally insensitive to his people

So it's like I said - backwards theocracy.

I'd like to see how they handle a Protestant bakery not making cakes for say... a Mormon wedding. Or a Muslim refusing to cater a Catholic wedding.

I have sincerely held religious beliefs that preclude me from serving anyone who is a Trump voter. I just can't support that kind of lifestyle.

that's all fine, i can't force you to work just because you might hurt my feelings

yeah I don't see how they're going to easily manage to achieve another case on the merits of the free expression question without farcical proceedings again.

Ironically the most intolerant people on this forum aren't Americans while they always bitch about America being intolerant

This country is young and the people are improving as our society continues to become more tolerant.

It's never a quick process nor is it a pretty one but we will get there.

Trump is a good example of a working democracy no matter how I or others feel about him and with that same democracy will come something better at the highest and lowest levels of government

I'm trying to imagine any ruling in an european court being decided on free expression of religion passing the scrutiny of government agencies not being staffed by anti-christian bigots

It's too late to expect anything good from U.S. I think you are lacking a realistic view of the situation; theres no hope, only despair.

In 2012, when David Mullins and Charlie Craig walked into his shop and asked him to bake a cake for a reception to celebrate their wedding, Phillips said, "I'm sorry, guys, I can't do that."

What followed, Mullins said, "was this horrible pregnant pause while what was happening sunk in, and we were mortified."




they drove halfway across the state and passed half a hundred bakeries to target one specific christian baker and the NBC news coverage paints them as emotionally distraught victims.

An essential ruling.

While the concern for racism in industry rises slightly, I do believe that it is essential that service providers have the agency to reject any job for any reason.
