At total random i wound up reading the article about the Colorado Wedding cake incident , And i gotta say the argument the baker uses to justify his discrimination is hilarious . Here are some quotes .

Quote:” on Tuesday that he doesn’t “discriminate” against anybody and that he simply doesn't want to bake cakes “for every message” — saying that he would also refuse to create a dessert that insulted the LGBTQ community.Yet you do make messages for weddings and you refused to do it only because the customer wanted it for a gay wedding . And having you write hate speech is equivalent to your writing a standard wedding message on a cake . This was discrimination plain and simple
Quote:“It's just that I don't create cakes for every occasion they ask me to create,” he said.But you do make cakes for weddings and you refused to do it only because the customer wanted it for a gay wedding
Quote:“This cake is a specific cake, a wedding cake is an inherently religious event and the cake is definitely a specific message,” Phillips said, explaining his objection to making the wedding cake for the same-sex wedding.Yup and they were asking for it for a wedding . A wedding cake is not inherently religious because in the united states gay people can marry and marriages can be conducted by secular authorities . So this is still discrimination .
Quote:'I don't create cakes for Halloween,But you do make wedding cakes so this is not equivalent
Quote: I wouldn't create a cake that would be anti-American or disparaging against anybody for any reason, even cakes that would disparage people who identify as LGBT,” he said. "Cakes have a message and this is one I can't createAnti American or Anti gay are not equivalent to writing standard speech on wedding cake .As for the message it was congratulating two gay people getting married . The only reason you refuse to write it is because they are gay . That's discrimination plain and simple
"Change was inevitable"
