        I respect the Christian bakers right to refuse to bake a gay wedding cake & respect the right of a gay printer to refuse to produce an anti-gay banner. It has to go both ways. Pun intended.

        Just put a sign in front of Your establishment, "We have the right to refuse service to anyone"! Then do not tell the customers, "WHY"!Easy!

        Businesses can refuse service, but they cannot discriminate. There has to be a valid reason to refuse service not just because the customer is gay.

        1-Business cannot refuse (in my example) basic service, such as a pre-made cup-cake or photocopies. However the cake or banner requires the merchant utilities their unique skill & time. Hence, the merchant may choose to take on a given project at their discretion....

        But they cannot discriminate based on sexual orientation

        That’s not discrimination on sexual orientation. Again, if he said I won’t sell you a cupcake because you’re gay....yes that is discrimination. If however he says I am not going to take this specialist project on, irrespective of reason, he is absolutely in his right.

        To what end? Your argument is that discrimination is okay based on race? Size? Gender? Religion? Sexual orientation, etc? If a business can decide who to serve isn’t that what segregation was all about? Please clarify what you mean.

        People have used the Bible to justify discrimination against “mixed” marriages. Against Black people and to support slavery. The Bible should not be used as an excuse to justify hurting your fellow human.

        So, then next step after refusing a gay couple is refusing a Jew because it's against religious beliefs to do business with someone who doesn't believe the same? Where does it end?

        If a Jew celebrates sabbath on Fri. can you require he work for you because you celebrate on Sun. or do you work out an accommodation where both your needs are met? Why must one have precedence over the other?

        This baker's case before the Supreme Court kinda gives new meaning to "All rise!"
