Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, Round 2
RE: Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, Round 2
(August 21, 2018 at 6:30 am)RoadRunner79 Wrote: The facts are that the owner denied the job, because of it’s content, not because of descrimination against the person.  He would sell goods and custom goods to this person, but not the specific content he was being asked to create.  He has also denied content which demeaning towards the LGBTQ.  Colorado law, allows for a business owner to refuse such custom services, when they have issue with the content. No examples have been presented, where a person was refused services because of their sexual preference.

Does any of that matter? he was being asked to do a perfectly legitimate job to do with his trade, he them refused based on the content that he claimed offended his religious sensibilities.   The law is clear on these issues though you cannot refuse service on these particular issues, to do so is discriminatory, he then based on that discrimination refused service to the customer.

It's a bit like refusing to serve a black person because they want a iced representation of two black people getting married and I don't like blacks. And it's the content that i dislike, I have no issue with the person asking me to bake the cake and they are welcome to buy any other kind of cake.
