You’re framing the issue. A proprietor of a private business can refuse service to whomever they want. Beliefs are a non-issue...we are talking about a first amendment right.
a privately owned business which is a public accommodation

You can refuse service to anyone, but if you do that you also have to realize that it's fair for the media and public opinion to attack you for it.
no you can't lol

It's not an issue of being gay.

It's an issue of belief.

I have muslim employees in my team. When Ramadan is on, they dont want to go into the desert and explore because they will need water.

But their religious belief tells them they cannot drink water between 5:30am-5:30pm.

So i cannot send people 100km into the desert for mineral exploration without water.

You have to find alternative work for them. And next Saturday, they will be flown back to Perth for their Food Festivus.

So i look after them.

The same situation exists with Mr Straight Wedding Cake.

You cannot force him to serve customers against his belief.

To waste your time trying is more of an indictment on the person trying to stir them up to begin with.


pretty flimsy equivalency
the customers aren't asking the baker to MARRY them lmfao
