Supreme Court rules for Colorado baker in same-sex wedding cake case[W:426, 1367]

Re: Supreme Court rules for Colorado baker in same-sex wedding cake case

If I may be so presumptuous, I think the thread boils down to two things. 1.) The baker should/should not be exempted by the religious freedom component of the 1A from AD legislation that requires him to sell wedding cakes to gay people if he sells any wedding cakes at all from his bakery, which qualifies by law as a place of public accommodation. I personally find the "should" argument dangerous and ignorant of civil rights jurisprudence since 1964, but it is a valid debate. 2.) The SCOTUS ruling confirmed that bakers who sell wedding cakes can refuse to sell them to gay people based on their religious beliefs. This is simply a misinterpretation of the ruling, or a lie (depending on the poster), and is not a valid debate. Nevertheless, there are pages filled with people making that claim, so you probably made the right decision with regard to reading the entire thread.

Yes its definitely should not and anybody that is misunderstanding this ruling simply didn't read it.
