You cannot claim that the cake does either of these things.
What if we weren't concerned with the banner offending the public? What if we refused to fly it simply because it offended us? What if we refused to fly it or any other pro life banner because we personally happened to be pro choice?
Now lets cloud up the waters even more. A few years back, not far from where I live, the owner of a shop that specializes in customizing diesel powered 4X4 off road trucks got himself in the news because of a post he put on the companies facebook page saying (in so many words) that homosexuals weren't welcome at his shop. As you might expect, he took quite a bit of flack for that. Protesters, death threats, the whole bit. Now lets suppose that while he was dealing with all negative fallout from that facebook post, he decided the best thing for him to do would be hire a banner company to fly a banner advertising for his business. Are you saying the company I used to work for should be obligated by law to fly that banner?
