Flawed analogy. You are confusing refusing a design they wouldn’t make for anyone and refusing a customer no matter what design. Masterpiece offered the public preorderable customer customizable wedding cakes & refused to sell to a customer that wanted exactly what they offered.

Can’t refuse a gay wedding any more than you could a black or Jewish one. There can be no discrimination, direct or indirect, because of a civil rights class. So try and say that without the civil rights related adjectives.

No since the business chose to advertise wedding cakes to the public that has a constitutional right to NOT share the owner’s beliefs and a civil right to buy what’s offered anyway. Can’t sell wedding cakes legally to the public don’t offer them to the public in the first place.

Do you realize that Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop actually did offer to sell the homosexual couple a cake? He just refused to decorate it. It’s no different from an artist soliciting commission paintings and refusing to paint certain things he/she finds offensive.

But not a wedding cake. You do realize he refused to sells them ANY wedding cake. Jack was never even mentioned in the original complaint, just the business. The state added him as the owner, not a baker.

They sell cakes. He offered to sell them a cake. He just wouldn’t decorate it in a way that conflicts with his ideals. My analogy about an artist choosing what they will and won’t paint is still accurate. It’s the same situation.

And so let another employee do it. He didn’t make all the wedding cakes, he admitted that in deposition. Take the day off.

He’s the owner... you made it clear that you understood that just a couple tweets ago and now you’ve already forgotten it.

He’s an owner who works in his business as an employee, two different hats. He, as an employee, wants religious accommodation he can have. Doesn’t free him as the owner from running his business legally. His beliefs won’t let him don’t make the public offer to begin with.
