Maybe you're not, but your argument surely is. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Baked goods are not art. They can be esthetic and decorative, but they're not art. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

This is no different then casinos kicking people out. They have no right to force that guy to make their cake. So if the couple wins, this might open up the flood gates for the SC to hear cases on other types of "discrimination." |

you'd have no problem, then, with a casino throwing someone out because they're gay? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

If you end up with a rugrat because the only pharmacist in 50 miles doesn't believe in birth control, and your girlfriend decides not to let you know she wasn't able to purchase any, are you going to be pleased? There are other situations that are more, er dire, about denial of services.. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

No lawyer arguing this case is advocating denial of basic services to anyone based on race or sexual orientation. The custom design of a wedding cake is considered artistic expression. It is like saying a priest is obligated to perform a wedding to a divorced Catholic. Just because the state recognizes the person as divorced and free to re-marry doesn't mean that a priest is discriminating if he chooses not to perform the wedding. |

"Artistic expression" can be interpreted even more broadly than "religious belief."
a baker is not being forced to perform a wedding, or even to take part in one. just to provide a product he provides to everyone else who has the money to pay for it. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |
