sooo....
no....you should not have the right to refuse to sell that object to them if you'd would prefer that your name and artwork not be associated with a cause or event that you might disagree with?
and presumably
yes... a judge should, if you decide that you do not want your name or work associated with that event be able to force you to make or sell that object or face a fine ?....
interesting....I guess "live and let live" does not apply to the baker? doesn't tolerance go both ways?
"I wouldn't turn anyone down for anything I make. I live my life and I let people live their lives. Live and let live."
if this is true you should have no opinion regarding the actions of the baker....but you were quite explicit in your condemnation
is he not being discriminated against by the judge and couple over his religious/moral views and having their beliefs forced on him? are they bigots? you mentioned earlier that you had a real problem with religions tending to "force" their views on others....does this also apply to the couple and the judge?
"No! No one should be discriminated against based on sexual preference, race or religion. Period."
this is one of those statements that sounds great when stated initially...then you start applying reality to it and it doesn't make a lot of sense....there is plenty of discrimination that exists..some is attacked and some is protected
the baker and the couple could have been tolerant of each other's beliefs and parted ways...one party chose to sue and have their views forced on the other by the State....over a cake
...or was it?
