Muslin bakers dont have to bake gay cake
In narrow ruling, Supreme Court gives victory to baker who refused to create cake for gay wedding
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court gave a stimulate to advocates of religious freedom on Monday, judgment that a Colorado baker cannot be forced to make a cake for a same-sex wedding, in a case that emotionally attached marriage equality and protection from discrimination.
But the notion was a narrow one, applying to the specific facts of this case only. It gave no hint as to how the court might settle future cases involving florists, bakers, photographers and other business owners who possess cited religious and free-speech objections when refusing to serve gay and queer woman customers in the awaken of the Supreme Court's 2015 same-sex marriage decision.
In the 7-2 decision, the court said legal proceedings in Colorado had shown a hostility to the baker's religious views. Monday's ruling was written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, who also wrote the Supreme Court's same-sex marriage decision.
Similar cases are now functional their way through the lower courts.
"These disputes must be resolved with tolerance, without undue disrespect to sincere religious beliefs, and without subjecting gay persons to indigniti
After hearing of the Supreme Court’s decree the other daytime to uphold a Colorado baker’s choice to refuse to bake cakes for gay marriages, citing religious freedom, I decided to thumb through the Bible to the gospel chapter on lgbtq+ cakes.
I could swear I’d put a bookmark there, but to my absolute shock I didn’t find a solo world on same-sex attracted anything. Jesus didn’t spend a second in his three-year ministry discussing lgbtq+ marriage, gay sex, gay inclinations; he didn’t condemn the bi-curious. He did not say, not one time, Thou shalt not identify that you might be a gal trapped in a man’s body, and if — G-d forbid — you do, for G-d’s sake don’t state anything to anybody.
You have to wonder what Jesus, the purported founder of Christianity, was getting up to all that period if it wasn’t refusing to construct cakes for content newlyweds. How could he express his love for God? Was he attending abortion rallies? I sifted through the pages and remembered what it was: He just spent a shit-ton of time talking about love.
Love this and love that. Adore your neighbor. Halt judging everybody. That sort of thing.
Here are a not many examples:
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. Travel
A Northern Ireland appeals court ruled Oct. 24 against a Christian-run bakery convicted of discrimination for refusing to bake a cake supporting gay marriage.
The judgment by a three-judge panel upholds a 2015 judgment by a lower court finding Ashers Baking Company guilty of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. In 2014, the bakery declined a customer’s request for a cake picturing Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie and the slogan “Support Gay Marriage.” The customer, backed by Northern Ireland’s Equality Commission, sued the bakery, a Belfast-based business with nine storefronts owned and hasten by the McArthur family. A county judge commanded against Ashers and fined the family £500 ($615). The McArthurs appealed, and were again defeated this week.
While the business considers whether it will appeal again, this time to the U.K. Supreme Court, support is coming from unexpected quarters. In the wake of the ruling, two major U.K. newspapers published editorials condemning the ruling and backing the bakery, both penned by openly gay men.
“Discrimination against people should be illegal but not discrimination agai

FULL ANSWER
Religious liberty was back in the news this month when the U.S. Supreme Court decided a case brought against a Colorado baker who refused to build a wedding cake for a gay couple because of his religion.
Since then, at least one dubious site has reposted a made-up story riffing on the subject of religious liberty.
A site called forfreedomworld.com posted a story with the headline: “Muslim Waitress Refuses To Seat 27-Person Church Group Because ‘Religious Freedom.'” It was mutual on Facebook, where users flagged it as potentially false. It is.
The story was originally posted in January on a site called America’s Last Line of Defense, which describes its content as satire meant to provoke conservatives.
Before being published on forfreedomworld.com on June 12, the story had been copied in previous months by atleasthalf–a–dozenother sites, none of which has a satire disclaimer. One site actually claims to share stories that show “the correctness about

Colorado wedding cake case: Kennedy’s opinion key
On December 5, 2017, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, in which baker (self-described cake artist) Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, asked the court to decide “whether applying Colorado’s universal accommodations law to compel artists to create expression that violates their sincerely held religious views about marriage violates the Free Speech or Free Train Clauses of the First Amendment.”
Phillips appealed the ruling by the Colorado Court of Appeals that he violated the public accommodations provision of the Colorado Antidiscrimination Act (CADA), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, when, citing his religious beliefs about marriage, he declined to bake a cake to observe the wedding of Charlie Craig and David Mullins. The Colorado court held that denying Phillips an exemption from CADA did not violate his First Amendment rights. CADA, the court concluded, “creates a hospitable environment for all consumers,” which “prevents the economic and social balkan
