March 21, 201610 yr So you HAVE TO sell a gay person a cake But You dont have to rent to a Trump supporter. America is screwed up.
March 21, 201610 yr I suppose you could, but why turn down a paying customer? Take their money with a smile, then use it to fund the candidate of your choice! I absolutely agree. I'm just a little confused as to how this is any different than any other example where a business refuses service, that people are getting so upset about.
March 21, 201610 yr I am enjoying reading this thread and seeing how the right-wingers who believe a business owner can discriminate respond to this one. :popcorn:

March 21, 201610 yr Should a black man who owns a bakery be forced to make and decorate a cake that depicts a KKK lynching?
March 21, 201610 yr I absolutely agree. I'm just a little confused as to how this is any different than any other example where a business refuses service, that people are getting so upset about. Protected classes.
March 21, 201610 yr Should a black man who owns a bakery be forced to make and decorate a cake that depicts a KKK lynching? Your example in the big picture is a fair one but I'd think there are easy ways around that one. I would think businesses can be protected due to "decency."
March 21, 201610 yr Your example in the big picture is a fair one but I'd think there are easy ways around that one. I would think businesses can be protected due to "decency." That opens up a can of worms. Who gets to define decency?
March 21, 201610 yr Maybe. Eventually. Not at the moment, though. My guess (key word) is that there are already legal precedents regarding companies like bakeries having the right to refuse based on the image they were asked to create.

I know there have been recent cases regarding bakeries and gay weddings, but I don't think they hinged on "decency".
March 21, 201610 yr I know there have been recent cases regarding bakeries and gay weddings, but I don't think they hinged on "decency". Correct. My thinking is a bakery could LEGALLY refuse service to ANYONE who wanted them to have an image of one man having his way with another man.
March 21, 201610 yr Correct. My thinking is a bakery could LEGALLY refuse service to ANYONE who wanted them to have an image of one man having his way with another man. I see your point. But what if the cake, instead of a lynching, depicted a white robed clansman and a cross?
