As a matter of fact no, there isn't much difference. The issue here is freedom of refusal to carry out one's professional responsibility if one's beliefs are not in accordance with one's job. That is EXACTLY the case in my example of a projectionist refusing to do his job over his beliefs and the same goes for the baker. The fact the baker does "stuff 1 on 1" is irrelevant to the main issue which again is the right to not do a job if it goes against one's beliefs. If a baker can refuse to cake a bake because the homosexual theme of the cake goes against his beliefs, a projectionist should have the same right if a movie depicts something that goes against his beliefs. I think my example clearly demonstrates the absurdity of refusing to do your job over religious concerns. As George Carlin said and I'm paraphrasing: People should keep religion to themselves and not let it interfere with the normal routines of everyday's life. and I'll add: Even more so at their jobs where their actions have consequences on other people (like the gay couple in the bakery). |
No if you want a example that would be likely with a movie theater it´d be something like the owner not showing Brokeback mountain when it released because he´s christian and doesnt support what the movie portrays. Your example is clearly something totally different it´s his bakery and he shouldn´t be forced into doing something for a cause he doesnt believe in. If you cant see the difference between your example and what actually happaned then there is no point argueing with you. Court ruled in favor of the baker and it was absolutely the right call to make.
