Lot of people up in my timeline saying the SCOTUS thing was "just a procedural thing," as if *not* making a decision to affirm basic human dignity is fine and dandy. Maybe stop looking at rulebooks and look at the underlying issues.
Is your position seriously "Omg they were mean to the bigot let's feel sorry for the bigot whose bigoted views deny the humanity of others"? For real?

Here's a quick hint - only one party in this case wanted to deny another party their humanity, and it wasn't the people buying the cake.

No, my position is that there were, in fact, THREE humans in this transaction. Two are gay, and one believes in an invisible wizard and owns a business, and did not want to do business with the two gay dudes (despite that being against the law in CO - that's a fair point). /1

So, yeah - One party believes in invisible wizard and broke the law, and got sued. But then when it all went before the *government*, Govt said, in effect, "Fuck you, **not because you broke the law**, but **because you played Horde in WoW**" (as a stand in for "Christianity")

SCOTUS heard it and said, "Uh, yeah. That part? That's fucked up. Equal protection means, you know, *equal*-fucking-protection. The baker should have baked the cake, and we reaffirm the right for LGBTQ+ people to purchase cakes from whomever - HOWEVER...

...That doesn't mean that we can allow local government to *disregard* the Equal Protection clause for bakers in the process of ensuring Equal Protection for cake buyers. It's all kinds of fucked up on every front, and the real villain here is Colorado Civil Rights Commission.

The thing that's getting completely glossed over in the furor over this is that Homeslice doesn't make fucking HALLOWE'EN cakes, either.
