Okay, I’ll ask you. Let’s pretend you own a bakery and and someone wants you to make a cake depicting pedophilia or inappropriate behavior with animals. Would you do it in order to be neighborly?
What goal posts? You said, "I support the right of private businesses to operate in the way that they think is best." You didn't put qualifications on that. Perhaps you only meant to say, "I support the right of private businesses to discriminate against whomever they prefer"?
The birthday cake didn't depict anything. You know that. Phillips was fine with the request until the customer mentioned that she also wanted to celebrate her transition. The cake didn't change at all, but suddenly it was anathema.
It did not. It was a pink cake with blue icing - no depictions. There may have been "Happy Birthday" or not.
Of course - that would be speech. A pink and blue birthday cake isn't, the court decided.
Pretty much.
This is a different subject, but were they told to stop hiring white men or stop hiring ONLY white men?Don't you?
1 in 6 hiring managers have been told to stop hiring white men, survey finds
A recent survey of 1,000 hiring managers in the United States found that one in six, or about 16%, have been told to stop hiring white men.www.google.com
What did you think all this talk about "diversity" meant?
The left has been arguing for racial hiring quotas for awhile now.
a principled Christian (anyone with principles for that matter) do not engage in discrimination against minorities.
Refresher. Here’s the question.
Okay, let’s say that an admitted pedopheliac wants you to bake a cake celebrating a child’s birthday. Would you do it?
I support the Constitution of this country, the Constitution that says everyone is equal in the eyes of the law and that means everyone even people you don't happen to like. If this private business is open to the public, then it is a privately owned public accommodation open to the public...all of the public. The constitution guarantees that all people are entitled to the full and equal access of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public business, without discrimination.
Does this bakery decorate cakes with graphic sexual images? Is that a service the bakery provides? I'm guessing no, so refusing to decorate such a cake is not discrimination as the baker won't do it for any customer. In the same manner if a baker makes wedding cakes for white people refusing to make a wedding cake for a black couple is discrimination.
Daisy didn't move any goal post. You have said repeatedly that you support business owners in running their business as they see fit. So the owner of the bar down the street feels it is a good business model to sell alcohol to children...you would support that wouldn't you?
So you’d have no problem making a vulgar cake for a pedophile?
