Are there any limits? If so, what are they?
Should a white racist baker be able to refuse a cake to black people, celebrating their daughter’s graduation, because he doesn’t believe in the “education of lesser races”?
The fundamental problem here seems to be equating speech with symbolism. Baking a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding doesn’t mean the baker supports the concept. A wedding cake is a wedding cake.
If a hetero couple request a cake from the baker, and then after receiving it give it to their gay friends, who were actually getting married, does that mean the baker now supports gay marriage? Is what the couple did wrong?
