Elixir and Jarhyn think refusing 'gender transition cakes' should be permissible if the cake maker merely brands himself differently.
Unlike you, I can't speak for what Jarhyn thinks. But I can tell you for sure that what I think is not what you say I think.
What I think is what I said:
You should "Call the waaambulance. Poor baker - being "forced" to bake.
No, dude, he volunteered to bake when he put out his sign."
Of course my apology for dreaming that any level of sarcasm would be picked up on by a right wing extremist.
I'd also like to see what would happen if someone (like the baker bigot in question) were to bill himself as an artist and refuse to make cakes for certain people or occasions, but was a prolific producer of hate symbolism such as Nazi graphics, or depictions of black people being lynched.
I wanna see if the goobermint is gonna start telling artists what content they may and may not produce, or what criteria they would use to determine who is and is not an "artist".
I DO NOT simply think "refusing 'gender transition cakes' should be permissible if the cake maker merely brands himself differently".
Your gross oversimplifications speak to the stunting of your own intellect, not the nature of other people's.
But you can show me that I'm way off base if you can demonstrate that controversial art in the US is, or should be, government controlled.
I asked you several times how it would make all the moral difference. You've never told me.
