The LGBT couples do not just want a cake from guys like this, they want the baker to be happy with making that cake.
Being a business owner (as I have been) is not about being "happy" or comfortable. Usually, in small business, the owner is the one that has to get up earlier and do all of the scut work that needs to be done. The owner is the first one in in the morning, and the last one out at night. Sometimes, the boss has to stay at work all night so that the work that needs to get done actually is done. In the jewelry industry, the boss has to stay at the store 24 hours a day, to finish the work that has been promised before Christmas. And sometimes, just sometimes, as he is walking out the door, the cops, hearing an alarm at the bank (I was in the same building) see this guy walking out, and come up and make this guy get down on the ground, and search his briefcase, and find all sorts of jewelry inside, and then the boss has to take one of the cops into the building, open the store, and prove that he is the owner, and that he is just finishing up his work at night.
I was not "happy" or comfortable. I was running my business. So don't give me that baloney about they SS couple wanting the baker to be happy about what they were doing. Just get the job done, on time, and as ordered. That's all I ever want a baker working on my cake to do.
Let me ask you, does Mr. Phillips bake cakes for Muslims? or for a bris? If he is as righteous as you paint him to be, he should glow in the dark, and be able to bilocate! But frankly, if he bakes a wedding cake for a divorced woman to be married again, then his "stand" against baking a cake for a SS reception is phony.
