We can argue about what lies in the middle, like the circumcision case. But refusing service because of someone's sexual orientation is the same as doing so because of the colour of someone's skin. Despicable, bigoted and a major dick move.
Fair enough. Being legally allowed to refuse services if it is for hate group gatherings makes sense.
How do you personally feel about what lies in the middle?
Examples:
-Refusing to make a cake for a Jewish circumcision ceremony.
-Refusing to make a cake for a pro life or pro choice fundraiser.
-Refusing to make a cake for a Catholic infant baptism.
-Refusing to make a cake for a campaign fundraiser for a political candidate you oppose.
Again, this is all assuming the cakes are generic and the Baker only knows because the information was voluntarily relayed to him by the customer without him asking.
I think you are making this way more complicated than it needs to be, CL
Refusing to bake a cake for Nazis or white supremicists means taking a stand against bigotry and prejudice.
Refusing to bake a cake for LGBTQ2S customers means taking a stand in favour of bigotry and prejudice.
Stop being distracted by the details. Are you for or against behaviour that entrenches discriminatory behaviour against minority groups as defined by law?
All else is irrelevant distraction.
