The Equality Act

Christian bakers have discriminated in cases like this.

I call BS.

Oh and the cake baker wasn't opposed to selling cakes to gay people. He was just opposed to having to use his artistic creativity to make a custom cake for them because the message violated his faith.

This is not true. There has been at least one case where the baker had agreed on the design of the cake before finding out the couple were same-sex. He would have made and sold them the cake if he hadn't found out they were gay. You've been shown the reference to this on multiple occasions, and every time you quibble for a while then come back months later having forgotten it.

How does that change anything I said? If he thought he was making a custom cake to celebrate a traditional wedding it would not violate his faith. If he found out it's for a gay wedding, it makes him aware of his violation of his faith. It is still about making a custom work of art. He would have sold them an undecorated pre-made cake or a cake for another occasion.

Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colo., declined to make a cake for the wedding celebration of two gay men in 2012. Phillips told the couple that he would make a birthday cake but could not make a cake that would promote same-sex marriage due to his religious beliefs.

We've been through this before -- all they would have to do is buy a standard wedding cake, and stick a plastic "two guys" statue on top - $10.

Prove it.

Muslim bakers will also refuse to make gay wedding cakes, but you don't see the LBGT crowd eagerly suing them.

Because it's dangerous to get on the bad side of Muslims.

Or BLM!

Washington Supreme Court opens door to forcing religious organizations to hire LGBT individuals

The Washington state Supreme Court reversed a lower court's decision this week regarding legal exemptions for religious employers, in a move that could open the door to forcing religious organizations to hire LGBT employees.

In the original ruling passed down more than two years ago, King County Superior Court Judge Karen Donohue dismissed a bisexual attorney's complaint against Seattle's Union Gospel Mission after the attorney, Matt Woods, sued the mission for discrimination when it refused to hire him upon learning of his sexuality.

The mission, Donohue ruled at the time, was acting within its rights because as a religious nonprofit it was exempt from the state's anti-discrimination law regarding one's sexual orientation. But now the state Supreme Court has reversed that ruling and ordered that the case return to the lower court, the Seattle Times reported.

In some ways, I'm glad I'm approaching retirement.
