Quote:Exactly. That's why I keep saying, what exactly is the law here?The public accommodations clause of the civil rights act.
Quote:Is a Baker allowed to refuse services to an event/cause that he is morally opposed to?Yes.
Quote:Yes. And vice versa if the Baker is Muslim or whatever and refuses to make a cake for a Christmas celebration.Full throated support of religious discrimination, also against the very same law.

Then he needs no exemption from the law, on religious grounds or any other... and has no case to plead before the courts....and yet....
So, does he..as a cake baker, have a moral objection to baking cakes......?

This one, at least, isn't unhinged.
I would say nevermind how many other bakers bake cakes. Should a person have to go to another baker just because he can't trust the law to be followed or enforced? Shhould he have to go to another town? Another county? Another state? Another country? How far should a person have to go to find equal protection under law, also a constitutional guarantee... two blocks or two hundred miles? The bigoted baker is protected by the very same law he seeks to deny in others. Maybe he should have to go somewhere else to bake cakes. Iraq or something...
