Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, Round 2
RE: Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, Round 2

I should have made clear that my examples were for if the people requesting the cake voluntarily mentioned what it was for... would the baker then be allowed to refuse to make it if it was for a cause/event he strongly opposed? It doesn't have to be for religious reasons, either. It could be personal moral reasons that have nothing to do with their religion. Like BennyBoy said, he would have refused to make a cake if he knew it was for a Jewish circumcision celebration.

That's an interesting difference. Public accommodation doesn't protect political stances, so from a purely legal standpoint, a business covered by public accommodation laws should be able to refuse service to a political event to which they are opposed, and it would not even have to be on religious grounds. Perhaps the baker should adopt a policy of not serving liberals, that should cover most of the people for whom he would object baking a cake for. If he does so, it would be common courtesy for him to put up a sign to that effect.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
