it's not direct

but it's pretty evident

that's what they meant

"Phillips takes exceptional care with
each cake that he creates—sketching the design out on
paper, choosing the color scheme, creating the frosting and
decorations, baking and sculpting the cake, decorating it,
and delivering it to the wedding. Examples of his creations
can be seen on Masterpiece’s website."

that pesky first amendment, with its freedom of religion.

lets just ban religion!

ah, so he wouldn't sell them the cake. he'd sell them A cake, but not a wedding cake.

yes

also “place of business engaged in any sales to the public"

.... so all businesses? how does a business sell to someone who is not the public?>

only to other businesses?

yes

there are those

Frankly, government should just be like 'does not compute' the moment wedding comes up

there's a nursery around the corner not open to the public

(trees)

but like, doesn't that mean the companies that supply the bakery could opt not to supply the bakery because the bakery sold to gay people?

yup

what is the point of this law? why specify public when that is basically everyone.

any company should be allowed to choose who they do business with

i know, but even the people who made the law didn't really do anyhting

Let's just abolish legal definition of marriage entirely.

^

i like that one

Whether gay people get married or not is the churches problem

fuck, its the couples problem

Govt should deal in unions.

who gives anyone else the authority to decide if you can call someone a husband or wife?

Everyone is entitled to one.

why is the government involved at all?

Instead of playing the one-upmanship game, find a new game.

get the government out of my bedroom.

oh shhhhhheeeeiiiiiiit https://twitter.com/Scott_Helme/status/1003671094111457280?s=20

no union, no marriage license, i get to decide who my partner is.

The tax benefits of what's currently called marriage are important

But they need to be separated from religious rite

correct

@RyeNorth but why does the state even offer those benefits?

Joint filing of taxes?

Legally defined shared households?

but why?
