    All this over a cake? This couple is a couple of jackasses. If someone refuses to make a cake then find someone else.

    Horrible ruling that furthers our walk back in time to religious hegemony. This ruling will further expand on religious discrimination against the public at large and that will expand this practice in the future.

    Sincerely held religious beliefs ought to be confined to your ****ing house, not to be enforced on the public at large.

    Sad day for those of us who do not believe religion is a thing to be forced on the public.

    Enforcing your morals through biblical fiat via denial of service in direct contradiction to state law is, in fact, enforcing your religious beliefs on the public.

    Homosexuality is not a religion, so you're conflating two issues. Moreover, no one is forcing morals or values on you. Have you ever met a gay couple that insists you be gay?

    Nope.

    That is a common way to announce certain decisions.

    Your UNCONSTITUTIONAL STATE LAW was just ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

    Deal with it.

    LOLOL!!! Are you really this ignorant? Homosexuals are constantly forcing their morals and values on other people. That is what this court case was about.

    Thankfully common sense rules the day.

    Nonsense, and no batch of unelected officials will change my mind on this. This is the adverse. No one forced the baker to be gay. Instead the baker is now allowed to force their religion on everyone else.

    Which is what the right has wanted all along, the ability to deny service based on absurd and generic reasons hidden behind a veil of "religious" belief.

    They tried to force behavior that contradicts his CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED right to Freedom Of Religion.

    Note the bolded word above, there is NO RIGHT to freedom from religion.

    Only for religious liberty. The implication is that if you’re not religious, you’re not worthy of the same personal liberty.

    So if I want to do something that is illegal, I just have to say following the law would go against my religion and I should be fine?

    How did this baker force his Religious beliefs on this gay couple? Did he insist they become Christians?
