In this case, I really think the situation is not at all the same as the refusal to serve cases. What if a Klansman came in and wanted a burning cross cake with anti-Semitic or other racist language on it? While the Klan has a right to their hate speech, can't a baker say I want no part of it? At the same time, when the Klan buys a billboard, why aren't they refused? Why can't the billboard company say we won't post such hate? Free speech rights confuse the heck out of me. Whew - got off track. Anyway, refusal to serve is not the same as right to free speech. However, I would not want a cake from a bakery with that anti-gay ideology. Not going to eat something from someone who hates me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-60768167640861370452015-01-20T18:16:08.191-05:002015-01-20T18:16:08.191-05:00I'm with marjorie on this one; she did not ref...I'm with marjorie on this one; she did not refuse him service, she was calm and rational. the man is being the h8er here.anne marie in phillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765140782182605141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-70404556392101533052015-01-20T16:58:03.312-05:002015-01-20T16:58:03.312-05:00People will probably accuse Marjorie and her suppo...People will probably accuse Marjorie and her supporters of double standards over this... I think the best reply is to say there's a difference between saying 'I won't serve you, I won't sell a cake to you because I disapprove of your race/sexuality/religion' and 'I won't sell a cake that says that. Marjorie has certain things she's not willing to write or draw on a cake, that's different from saying she won't make a cake for a particular person/type of personIsobel Tolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771112941430519543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-6380190240054389662015-01-20T14:57:17.590-05:002015-01-20T14:57:17.590-05:00Interesting and to be expected I'm sure.

What if the person asked for words advocating killing someone?<br />And is writing words more intrusive and destructive to the baker than arranging flowers is to a florist?(btw Arlene's Florist goes to trial in March - so far no-one in the family has gotten a jury summons yet....)<br /> the dogs' motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512888563325865616noreply@blogger.com
