Supreme Court Rules In Favor Of Colorado Baker

[A Theist]

It doesn't answer my question of why it matters that the baker considers it art. The Baker sells a service to the public of Baking cakes for weddings, a Painter makes Paintings and sells them out of a gallery. The difference here is that the painter is not selling the service he is selling the pieces, you can only choose from what he has created, now this still doesn't absolve the painter from discrimination if the Painter is selling his work out of a gallery opened to the public. The Baker  offers a service to the public of making wedding cakes and he is denying that service to homosexuals, also considered discrimination. I don't see why in either of those scenarios considering the product art makes one bit of difference as to why it's discrimination.

Yes I agree, so as to my first question, why would it matter if the Baker considers it art?

I'm not sure. Not a legal expert. What reason did the supreme Court give?

Here's a news article on that Supreme Court decision. Justice Kennedy wrote the majority opinion for their determination citing religious bias on the part of Colorado's civil rights commission. A link to Justice Kennedy's opinion are included in the article...

 " The Commission’s hostility was inconsistent with the First Amendment’s guarantee that our laws be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion," Kennedy wrote in his majority opinion. 

"Justice Kennedy has held that tolerance is a two-way street, and Jack Phillips was not tolerated by the Civil Rights Commission of Colorado,” he said.
