Wasn't there a case in the US where Walmart refused to make a birthday cake for a kids birthday because his parents were white nationalists and had called him "Adolf Aryan" or something like that?
I believe that went to court and Walmart was not forced to make the cake.
How is this case any different?
The difference is that some people argue that sexual orientation is not a choice, whereas political/religious views are.
At the crux of the debate is the question as to whether the decision to pursue gayfaggot marriage is a right (just like pursuing heterosexual marriage is arguably a right) or if it is a political statement.
If the cake maker was a coffee shop owner who refused to serve a gay/black/woman a coffee on account of their orientation/race/sex, he would have a case at all, but a custom cake, on the other hand, is an artistic expression unique to the couple ordering it and also loaded with meaning.
So, it's not a question about whether a gay couple should be allowed to buy a cake that is for sale, but rather an individual should be forced to create an object of artistic expression that he does not agree with.
In the case of a Nazi cake, 99% of people would agree that no one should be forced to create a cake with advocates something of that nature.
The question I have is whether or not the faggot cake would have simple been a decorated cake or would it have had two men's names on it or two faggot grooms affixed to the top?
