I don’t think the baker should be forced to write anything on the cake they don’t want to. However if the people ask for a gay pride cake, with rainbow colors, etc then the Baker should make it,
The line/test for me is: would the baker refuse to bake the same cake if the use was not obvious.
In other words, if a straight man requests a rainbow colored cake with sprinkles, and the baker is fine with that request, it should not be denied just because a gay man requests the exact same cake for a gay pride party.
The trans cake is a great example btw. If all the person asked for was a blue cake with a pink center, it shouldn’t make a damn of difference whether it’s for a cisgender or transgender.
Exactly. But the baker figured out how to try and get around the "intent" issue by personally checking each order and then pushing "innocently" for info regarding the stated purpose of the cake. Then he uses his religious beliefs to deny the request based on what the cake will be used for.
