This is not correct. It wasn't because of any decoration they requested. He didn't deny a specific wedding cake - he denied selling them any wedding cake, including designs that he had delivered to previous customers. He did offer them other, non-wedding cakes, but his reason for not providing a wedding cake had nothing to do with what decoration they wanted, as he even refused designs he had previously baked.

Background check? What's with your side using absolute hyperbole. A baker needs the names of the bride and groom. That's not a background check. 

Refusing to make something you have to make, in your own store, is upholding your beliefs. He's not forcing them to believe what he does. He didn't call every baker in the region with a BS reason for them to not bake one for them, either. He's asking them if there was any other way to help them. And if they wanted a wedding cake still, it would be better for both parties if they found someone who had no reservations about doing it. No one changed their beliefs. The gay couple, who refused to just let it go, are the ones who are forcing their beliefs here. Either participate in our wedding or else. 

No. The side that thinks everyone should think the same way and if not then it's the government's duty to force compliance 

The sad part is that I explained several times the logic but clearly if you did not get it back then I don't see how you'd get it now so If I were you I would avoid talking about other people's brains. When you make a bigoted argument in favor of discrimination, speaking of other people's brains is, how shall I put it?  Rather clumsy.

No why would I do that? I actually have answered your question several times through different posts to different people here. But here goes for you: I would use the law to force the baker to DO HIS JOB which It seems I must remind you is BAKING, not discriminating. His personal opinions do not give him the right to discriminate or at least shouldn't but with Trump at the white house it seems he has now that right, why am I not surprised?

Other than that he may write in his bakery that he hates gays and blacks and everything in between for all I care. In fact that way at least people could see clearly what level of ignorance that baker is from a distance and maybe avoid him or something.

Strawman much? 

That's not the governments job. 

Agree strongly on the verdict with this one. As a Christian who knows a bit of different branches, not all branches are against gay marriage. In fact I believe the Methodist church does ceremonies for gay marriage.

I myself have nothing against gay people and will attend a ceremony and give a gift if its for a close friend or family member, however I would refuse to have any sort of part in making the ceremony a thing such as best man or in this instance baking a cake.

I love the person inside and understand what they are doing completely and will do anything to help them in the future, but there are some lines I prefer to maintain in my beliefs as well.

Guys, this can't be used to set legal precedence because you could circumvent anyone in the name of religion. There is no end to chaos it would create. No black allowed, no Jews, no Muslims, No Whites? No Xbox gamers? There is a clear conflict of interest with ensuring equality under business practices and freedom of religion. THat why most states say you got just treat people like people and not like your perception of them.

They overturned the states ruling based on a technicality. They didn't decide that its okay for business to treat everyone like shit now.
