SCOTUS Rules About Colorodo Baker

[Dill]

(06-06-2018, 01:28 PM)PhilHos Wrote: If I recall correctly, this baker had actually served many gay people. The baker had actually baked a few wedding cakes for gay couples. And, IIRC, he even decorated cakes for gay people. The only thing he didn't do was decorate the cakes for gay couples to be used in gay weddings.

While people can still argue, he was discriminating, you can't claim he didn't serve gay people. IF this is the same baker I'm think of.

That's why the baker's defense appealed to freedom of speech as artistic expression. Had the gay couple simply purchased a generic cake, there'd have been no problem.  So he was not refusing service in the traditional sense. The baker just did not want to create a gay-friendly theme in decorating the cake though, you know, writing words like "Go Gay" or "Gay is the Way!" or creating the image of two men kissing.

Maybe like a Bengals fan baker who would sell to Steeler fans but refuse to write "go Steelers" on a cake.
