Would it be okay for a cake designer to refuse to make a wedding cake because the bride and groom are evangelical Christians?

When you go into business, you are in business, and your personal feelings or beliefs should not affect your business. I think it's wrong for any business to refuse to serve a customer and the customer's request just because the customer is different from what the business person thinks.

Unless it's Twitter?

@OatmealMuffin you are not a Twitter customer

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. I don't believe a private business should be forced to bake a cake or sell something to anyone they don't desire to.

I'm a born again Christian and if a business doesn't desire to do business with me because I'm Christian then fine, it's their loss.

I'll take my money else where it will be appreciated.

People should be allowed to refuse service to people for religious reasons but not racial ones.

[AmyHew1tt]

It's their choice, but I would see that as a bit of discrimination.

[Asker]

So would it be discrimination to refuse to make a cake for a gay couple because you're a Christian?

[AmyHew1tt]

I think so. I wouldn't tell you what to do or rant about you on Twitter, and I respect people's choices for themselves, but at the heart of it, it is discriminatory both ways.

[Asker]

I agree

[Derekk]

Legally yes, and that legal right should be protected.

Morally, no. And people have every right to call them bigots.

[OatmealMuffin]

Twitter was bigots before Elon bought it.

[NamerOfStars]

No, that'd be discrimination on religious grounds, which is explicitly illegal.

[Asker]

So is it discrimination to refuse to make a cake for a gay wedding because you're a christian?

[NamerOfStars]

Yep.

[Asker]

I agree

[jshm2]

Not using those words it won't.

Far easier to just turn them away with another excuse, like not having capacity at the moment.

[Agape93]

Sure, it's their business, you don't have to make anything for anyone you don't want to

[Guy13]

Sure. Cake makers are a dime a dozen...

[In_Trance]

why would she do this?

[OatmealMuffin]

It's OK.

[LiamJHayden]

Should be.
