Good the way it should be, shop owner has a right to serve who they please, consumer has the right to shop/not shop in said shop if they please. Let the market dictate who is in the right, if the shop owner was truly wrong they would be out of business in a short amount of time due to lack of business.

They mean it was a narrow ruling, not that it was a close vote.

Some words have more than one meaning.

Let the market dictate who is in the right, if the shop owner was truly wrong they would be out of business in a short amount of time due to lack of business.

So, you approve of racial, religious, and sex discrimination?

Cool.

Q: What food do you feed women to stop them from having sex?

A: Wedding Cake.

How badly can you say ridiculous? The Court should have fined the Baker for wasting their time, and told him next time to make a cake for any customer who asks.

It would seem some discrimination is already allowed. Women only gyms for example.


I assume this particular ruling means you can use your faith in the operation of your business. The Muslim barbers should also have the right not to cut a woman's hair on the same grounds.


That is my interpretation but I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV. I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I find women-only gyms reasonable just as I find men-only gyms reasonable. Some people might not feel comfortable dressed immodestly in the presence of the other sex.

Did I say I would go out of my way to buy a cake there? I said let the market place dictate who is in the right or wrong.
Why should I support a minority that is going out of it's way to force society to respect their rights? Would you feel the same way if it was a gay business refusing to bake a cake for a heterosexual couple? Or a woman that wanted to marry her horse? How about if it was a man that wanted to marry his Goat? What if it was a Pastafarian that wanted to celebrate a milestone? Still the same outrage?

Why not? You're certainly willing to go out of your way to re-institute discrimination in places of public accommodation, which has been illegal in the United States for 54 years.

Not according to this particular case, which group is actually doing the discrimination? Both are guilty IMO

The gay couple is being petty, and the Baker is being a dick. The Courts should have told them all to screw off and get a life.

The ruling is retarded. What next? You have a religious car salesman refusing to rent out a Limo to a gay couple on their wedding day?

On what grounds did he refuse the gay couple? Any other rental company in town?

If you can't discriminate on sexual orientation, and you can't discriminate on religious grounds what is the solution?

Being gay is real...religion is an argument about who has the best imaginary friend.

I'm more of a Karma/ Spiritual type. I don't buy much of this religious hooey...although I believe a lot of it comes with good intentions.

You/that could be, but the other 2 are protected under the law

Some laws are just plain stupid. I'm not even allowed to smoke a cigarette outside in a park fcs.

That gay couple should have just gone next door to the Pen!s Cupcake Store...

Easy. If you want to hate blacks, hate Jews, hate gays, cuz Jeebus told you to, feel free. In your church.

When you voluntarily enter the stream of commerce, you live by the rules of commerce. Which include no discrimination.
