60 or 70 years ago this baker would be refusing to sell his cakes to black people on “religious grounds”. What a load of horse shit this guy’s thinly veiled bigotry is.
Baker claims religious persecution again — this time after denying cake for transgender woman

Well probably the transgender person didn't accidentally wander into the infamous homophobic bakery.
If this wasn’t a set-up, then the lawyer who asked for the cake had been living under a rock.
Because people falsely believe that the Baker's SCOTUS decision permitted religious discrimination. Who better to take to the Supreme Court to force an actual ruling?
Why in the fuck do people still give this asshat any business at all?
The person that asked for the cake was a lawyer so the only conclusion I can come to is that the person requesting the cake wanted this to happen. Still wrong but wouldn't it be better to not give this asshole baker any publicity at all and reduce his business to only making cakes for the Sunday church crowd?

Except they didn't rule on it. The ruled in his favor for a different reason completely hence why it's still an issue.
Good for business. Religious folk buying his cakes from all over the country.
He didn't "win" the first time, though. He has even less grounds with this case.
I'm REALLY not sure this is a gamble I want to take with the current court... But maybe the gears were moving when it was assumed Kennedy would still be around?
User Banned (A Week): Downplay and rationalise discrimination + History of similar behaviour. User in Junior phase.
But it’s not, and I think it’s dumb to equate the two. It would be one thing if the entire state was refusing to bake people cakes but in both of these cases this baker was sought out because of his refusal.So back to this then?
lol it's almost like it's a book written by some dudes in a desert 2,000 years ago who didn't know jack about modern science
Fun fact: Iran, of all places, recognizes transgender people and allows them to live as their gender identity and marry legally. It was considered permissible by Iranian islamic scholars decades ago.
please explain the similarity between alex jones and all transgender people
If people want to say the 1st Amendment explicitly guarantees a right to freedom of religion, so the discrimination here is justified. I’d like to point out that you’re not just you at work, you’re also a representative of a business (a place of public accommodation) which legally cannot discriminate against members of the public who are protected classes. If a business offers a service to one member of the public, then that business has to offer that service to every member of the public who are protected classes equally. That legal baggage is a part of the deal that comes with doing business in this country (just like business taxes, minimum wage, workers’ compensation, etc.), and you choose to take on that baggage when you become a representative of a business.

also the cost of their hormones and operations is subsidized and they don't pay a lot for those.
I probably wouldn't even want a cake from this asshole at this point .. Who knows what the fuck he puts in it when he knows you are gay or transgender.
This is what happens when people vote third party for president, or stay home because they are a bunch of idiots who believe Russian and GOP smear campaigns.
The bigots are emboldened.
Let's all shut them down by voting for (D) candidates regardless of purity tests and smears.
There's nothing in the Bible about being trans, so this guy is twice the prick he was before. But then why would I be shocked a conservative hasn't actually read the book they care so much about.
