Quote:-Refusing to make a cake for a Jewish circumcision ceremony.There is nothing arbitrary about the standard being set forth.And we take your "big picture " to it's logical extreme then we can justify any discrimination by ironically truly arbitrary means.Guess we should through civil rights out the window.
-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.

Anyway, there is no distraction, as I personally wouldn't have a problem making a gay wedding cake. It isn't about that. What I'm trying to show here, is that when we start legally forcing people to make cakes to celebrate events/causes they strongly oppose, we start running into problems.
Well...... golly gee, Polly..that's exactly why we have civil rights laws! We shouldn't need to have them, people shouldn't be recalcitrant douchenozzles...but they are.
