SCOTUS same-sex wedding cake decision: How both sides say they got here today

- ABC News' "Nightline" spoke to cake artist Jack Phillips and married couple Charles Craig and Dave Mullins last week, before the Supreme Court's ruling Monday in Phillips' favor.
Leave this man alone. You don’t like the customer service go to a different store
veerchasm1 here’s the problem he’s a public service he doesn’t have a right to refuse someone service for an unjustifiable reason.
Edit: I take back what I said more than a year later I was wrong the baker had every right to deny service.
This is my thinking: He has a right to be a bigot, yes. And if he wants the bad PR, that's his decision.
That being said, I think weddings aren't just religious ceremonies. They're legal too. Furthermore, if two Jewish people came to his shop would he still bake a cake for them?
The Legend Himself no hes a private company. It would be a public service if he was part of a government organisation
Jeff DeWitt if they align with his beliefs i think he would. In this case if they were a Jewish man and woman
+The Legend Himself
yes he can, you can't force someone else to provide you a service
His bakery ... his decision
Apparently the baker has no decision - the state commission decided for him which ended closing his wedding cake line. On the other hand the SC decided to rule for the this baker. As for other business owner, be careful not to deny service to anyone.
+M Tabin yeah ..you own a store.. two scumbags come in.. you know they will cause trouble most likely.. but you cant deny them right
"My bakery... my choice", alot better than "my body... my choice".
The saying "my body my choice" forgets to take the body and choice of the fetus into consideration though.
Same logic as refusing to bake for someone because they're black
If you can hold your wedding in Massachusetts because Colorado does not recognize same-sex marriage, you can find another baker to bake your cake.
perfectly said !
I'm on the bakers side on this one.
Me too
@@ryt25 Well, if it's your own business, go ahead and forbid Christians if you want to run it that way, you're right it's your choice since you own the place. I'm a Christian and I would simply go to another shop.
Same
In the same way you cannot force a racist person to be dishonest about their racist attitudes ... yes I do support the baker ...
Yes I understand but...... Everyone will still hate you...even me 😚🙃🙂🤗☺️😂
From a gay man, this gay couple should've respected this religous mans rights. Just like he respected their ways of being. I sometimes don't understand how we in the community sometimes don't think to respect others people's beliefs when that is all we ask. This makes the couple look like hypocrites, honestly.
dandagod official that’s not how it works, religious freedom only goes as long as it isn’t violating the law. What they private business is doing here is not violating the law, however, your terroristic idea of a religion would be. It scares me that Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor both voted in favor of the couple, this is a black and white constitutionality case.
dandagod official your really a stupid person damn maybe you should just move to a different country
dandagod official someone please make this guy stfu
Joey Jeffries I think he is
dandagod official what like you?!!!
*On a serious note though, this guy is a talented baker. 🎂*
Harambe Jr. He truly is
sethc18769 and they ruined this guys life he lost 40 perceng of his profit as hs said and he has gotten death threats.
He is truly amazing at its perfection, it make me sad how lgbt people always ruin other people's dreams
Cakes can't be gay but they can have a gay theme cake. Also, the baker while talented should be forced to provide the same level of service and same type of service as he would to a straight couple to a homosexual couple. Now, if he does not want to make a gay themed wedding cake he should not have to.
jfsfrnd no he should not be forced to design a cake in a certain manor or incorporate a certain theme. I stated so earlier. Just because a wedding is celebrating the union of two homosexuals does not mean the wedding cake is going to have a homosexual theme to it.
“i BrOkE dOwN aNd StArTeD cRyInG [because I got denied a cake]” that pretty much sums up the mentality of today’s society
Yeah that guy lack testosterone
I must agree with you.
sad to be gay cuz people like that
@@andromedaputraharyanto5420 well hes gay... sooo obviously
Booo hooooooooooo! Stop whining about it and move on you snowflake! You libtards have ruined America! Back in my day we owned slaves, but everyone just had to ruin it with their "civil war"
“He may have won the battle, but he didn’t win the war”, umm I think he won both.
See, that's what's disgusting. They feel this gives them the right to essentially declare war on a fellow American. It's like that line in Animal Farm: All are equal, but some are more equal than others.
@Internet Batman I do believe to this day his business is thriving, you saw how many people came to support him after the fact. “Disgusting bigot” seems to fit you best, because you think you’re so entitled that you “HAVE” to be served so much that you will go to court to force him to serve you, that’s fascism and bigotry.
@Internet Batman
I have a very broad vocabulary kid. And you quite literally fit both definitions of fascism and bigotry... You’re refusal to acknowledge that is ignorant. His business is thriving because private donors have helped him with legal fees that the couple brought onto him. “Run a business is to constantly chase business away”, he wasn’t chasing them away he wanted them that’s why he offered them many alternatives, and he never did this once before so it’s clearly the couples problem, not his problem. In America we have the freedom of religion and if you’re saying that he should change his religion just because you don’t like its values is indeed fascism. “You looked like an unhinged snowflake”, says the one who is defending people who are crying about a damn cake. I mean really it’s a cake yet you’re going to bring this to COURT??!! That’s completely irrational and ridiculous. The world doesn’t evolve around you, so just because something doesn’t work out, that doesn’t mean you can throw a fit.
EDIT: You say baking is the “gayest” form of cooking, that’s very derogatory, so it seems as if you’re fighting against a brick wall.
@Internet Batman Its not discrimination if you’re given alternatives, not to mention it’s his business, it’s his workplace, if you don’t like it leave, go somewhere else, find another baker, make your own cake. And if it’s okay to refuse someone service because they aren’t wearing a mask, why is it bad to give someone alternatives if they ask for something you’re uncomfortable with. It makes no sense but that’s the direction we’re heading into. If Amazon refused me service I would look for a small business who offers the same services... not bitch and cry about something as stupid as a cake. I’ve never watched Food Network, so you’d have to provide me with something where they openly express baking to be the “gayest form of cooking”.
Once again the world doesn’t revolve around YOU, so if you feel hurt don’t make it another persons problem.
@Internet Batman Oh you’re right “ Oh no I can’t get a cake but I can get brownies” Boom discrimination.
That’s makes no literal sense whatsoever.
So they want him to respect their sexuality but they can’t respect his faith
Ahaha damn I started a huge argument😂😂😂
Maclane Tane I like this
Ryan Richards i'm an atheist but your comment is very rude even to me. If transgenders have the right to BELIEVE they are what they claim to be, then this man also has the right to believe what he wants to. Since when the right to believe in something becomes so "cruel"?
@Ryan Richards I have never been taught or had enough close feeling to any religion to become its believer. But I don't hate religion.
I just base on my common sense here, the baker didn't refuse to bake any other types of cake for the couple, just not a wedding cake. He also sincerely explained his reason. I mean he didn't be disrepectful or curse them. So the couple could have just gone to another bakery, they didn't have to go this far.
If they felt offended, maybe just think differently? Just think that the reason he refused to serve comes from him, not from them and move to another bakery. He's the one who lost profit anyway.
I have seen some owners refuse to serve customers with reason "I'm not in good mood" LOL
I’m not exactly sure who all y’all are but this fighting needs to stop. @RyanRichards just because you hate Christianity because it goes against what you think is right does not mean you need attack us. You can hate God’s rules all you want but that doesn’t change the fact that those rules are still there. Everything we do is a sin unless it is worshiping God because it is all vain. God gets to save who he wants whenever he wants so technically this gay couple could be saved in the end because are sins are all equal. Nevertheless tho this is our religion and if the gay couple can have the same rights to what they think is right then so do we. So could you plz stop telling us that we need to die and so does our religion.
I didn’t mean to start a fight y’all so plz don’t attack me, I just don’t want y’all to keep fighting.
@Snached yea he seems like a perv. I’m rlly srry that he said those disgusting things to you!
He offered to sell them anything else, he didn't refuse service period.
Sadly, one has to wonder if the outcome would have been better if he had said flatly, "please get out of my store" without giving any reason.
Way to miss the point...
They didn’t go in for anything else, they went in for a wedding cake. He denied them service of buying a wedding cake because they were a same sex couple, that’s discrimination. But honestly if I were them, I just would have gone to another cake maker, wouldn’t want to give homophobe my money anyway.
jfsfrnd Nope, privately owned business. And I went there and he wouldn’t even make Halloween cakes because he disagreed. This proves that he was going off of his religious and moral beliefs. Not because he wanted to discriminate them.
Noel López yes he did he wasn’t out of cakes or didn’t have the ability to make more he literally said no
they tarnished his bakery, that shows more about their character than anything. honestly disgusting and sad, i hope his bakery can recover
Robert Lynch It’s an independent bakery owned by him. While he denied the service of making a wedding cake (a longer, more time consuming process) for them, he did not say he wouldn’t serve them other things. “maybe he shouldn’t have signed up to be a baker” that is his right and his passion and he is holding to his beliefs. I believe he handled the situation as well as he could. smh
The bakery's tarnished reputation is the direct result of the baker's actions. When he made the decision to deny service on the basis of sexuality, he should've recognized that there would be social consequences, as society generally accepts same-sex marriage nowadays. It may be within his right to deny service to anyone, but the couple also have the right to describe the discrimination to the public.
@@Christopher-D Thai was in 2012 and it still wasn’t very accepted then. It wasn’t even legal everywhere yet. Those two guys just shouldn’t have been little pussys about it and just went somewhere else
@@spidermonkeynuts3851 You Clearly don't understand how business works I've taken business courses and his downfall was inevitable. Business is brutal, competition is everywhere and sites to rate businesses existed then. During that time gay marriage was on a rise and any smart business owner would have taken the opportunity to serve theses men in order to gain more recognition and more customers regardless of belief. His decision was gonna cripple his business whether he liked it or not because people talk, the word would have spread and the business would have been viewed negatively in society. A smart business owner would set their beliefs and political views aside in order to appeal to the masses and to keep their business open as well as make profit, the more people they please the better regardless of how they feel about it.
@@rafaelmartinez-gb3wr
A smart business owner would have recognized that serving the gay couple would probably be more benefitial in the long term.
But it doesn't mean he would have done so if he also had principles whom he'd put above financial interests.
Small businesses aren't exactly the same as Tesco or Wallmart, they aren't fully driven by profit, in the case of a bakery especially, bakers often work out of passion rather than a wish for financial gain.
So...he respectfully denied them a cake but offered them cookies, brownies, anything else. Didn’t say anything derogatory about them being a gay couple, just said he wouldn’t create the cake for the wedding...I’m really not seeing where this had to become a federal case...a simple “Oh, that’s disappointing. Thank you for your time.” Would’ve sufficed. Baker was respectful which is exactly how a good Christian man would be...
They needed a Custom Wedding Cake for their wedding reception not cookies or brownies.
@@sr2291 They could have found another shop willing to make a wedding cake. Expression is not something that should be compelled. It violates the First Amendment.
@Quinntus79 Define "expression". That's the problem. Churches were invented for religious people to worship in. They don't need to worship at work. They need to do their jobs like everyone else has to.
If you replaced Christian with Muslim this story would of never aired.

Youre a moron...but because your grammar sucks
Captain Gaming thank you 🙏🏻
I’m bisexual and I support the Baker. Go to a different bakery. It would be one thing if he refused service entirely, but he was fine with birthday cakes or anything else - just not a wedding cake. Leave him alone.
I am also bi and i agree with you. It wasn't fair to the baker. The two guy shouldn't have taken it that far. There was honestly no need for all this drama. Just go to another baker, there are plenty of them out there who would happily oblige.
The baker doesn't deserve all this hate. I feel bad for his small business that was destroyed because of this situation.
Bisexual !😲 poor soul
Pasta Zi Bearlid He actually ended up fine after the trial thankfully because he was allowed to start selling wedding cakes again and choose who to make them for. :) But I agree. They made such a big deal out of it. Just go to a different baker! They really just needed everyone to accommodate their choice.
Dan Shivers That’s very hypocritical to say because the lgbt will only defend people who are in the lgbt not everybody, do you realize that people all over the world gets discriminated every day and none of the lgbt makes any noise to defend them, where was the lgbt when 10 Christians were decapitated by isis simply for no denying God? where were the lgbt when many african american Christians woman , men even childrens were burned alive just for being Christian? Where were the lgbt when the Christian church were killed with a rifle? Where is the lgbt when schools discriminate childrens for being black, but when their was killings in a gay club in orlando that’s when the lgbt start showing support and protest.
Dan Shivers lgbt community being around for many years what haven’t they done anything yet? I mean if you would start thinking in defending and stand up for everybody wouldn’t you start doing it after you thought about ?
Even if you don’t want to accept it just face it that they did this just because he is a Christian that doesn’t support the lgbt because even you agree with me that people get discriminated everyday and they don’t do nothing about it.
3:42 “we wrote just a small modest post that said: hey, we were discriminated against this cake shop”. No, that is no true, they did not just wrote a small note on discrimination, they clearly urged hatred demonstrations against the baker, as much so that they provided the picture and information and asked people to send (not exactly friendly) e-mails to the baker. That was inciting people against the baker, no matter which way we want to see their action. They were not the victims, they were vengeful and hateful people who got their way by having the baker receiving death threats. I am glad the baker got back his business and we all got confirmed our rights to create what we want and what we believe in. NOBODY should be forced to create something that they disagree on, whatever the reason that be.

Gay or not, those guys just seem like genuinely awful people. It's like they're just dripping with entitlement. I'm not even religious, but I'm glad the baker won; he appears to be a really sweet man. Honestly wishing the best for him from here on out.
Punkyagogo yeah, they just seem like shit starters. They show the cake guy doing his thing...it's creating a painting on a cake. They show them doing their thing...their heads are in their computers and they are typing away furiously...like wtf? Are they just professional facebookers or something?
SquareRootOf2 Seeking justice in court is harassment? I don't personally think they have a valid case but you just seem like someone who likes to jail people just for being different. That's pretty lame..
It was them who started this campaign of harassment against this honest and helpless baker, tweeting about it, suing and arising hate against him.
These people are POS that only care about themselves and their narcissism and their sexual desires imposed on other people.
Of course I care when these disgusting activists try to impose their twisted worldview on others. I care a lot. Not about what they stick up their asses in private but about their hateful, fascist way to impose themselves on others, abusing the natural tolerance of honest people.
There are plenty of "normal" gays that go about their business without bothering others. I don't mind about honest gays but gay activists should be dealt with like they do in Muslims countries, who are very tolerant and the religion of peace and Holy Qu'ran has humane treatment for them.

Do you say that to an interrcial couple, if a baker doesn't approve of marriage between the races? Over 40 million Americans still believe God opposes miscegenation. And what if it's. one-horse town with only one bakery, and it's a 140 mile drive to the next, and THEY don't serve gays or blacks either?
@@africaisacontinent2149 For wanting fair and equal treatment? I hardly think so. The baker broke the law.
"creating a generic wedding cake" would be an issue because that would be like "separate but equal" service. The baker's choice to politely refuse was clearly the best option for everyone involved.
And he didn't say he wouldn't serve lgbtq people. He just says he wouldn't bake a cake celebrating their union. You wouldn't go into a muslim restraunt and order pork.
As a Christian I have the atmost respect to the baker. He did not compromise his core fundamental beliefs for popularity and to fit into social norms.
If a baker refuses to sell his cake for religious reasons to black couple because he thinks that black people shouldn't have any rights, would you be OK with that?

@Mason Koski Yes, thank you for being civilized. We as human beings have to know we can respect each other even though we disagree on things.
Either you're just saying your queer to get attention or you actually are... either way, this is segregation... and the same laws that protect the baker also....
1) Allow doctors to refuse medical care to LGBTQ+ people
2) Allow religious institutions to fire queer people just because of their orientation/identity
3) Protect religious based adoption agencies when they deny services to same sex couples while still demanding that those same people pay their salaries (as many are tax payer funded)
... I could go on and on and on. If you really are who you say you are, why would you want to protect religious privilege before protecting so many people's livelihoods?
@@KeilyShhh No I'am Non-Binary and Pansexual, but it's actually not, and to break down what you said. You shouldn't be a doctor if you're not going to treat everyone, if religious institutions want to be hateful then the public will decide weather or not to take part with them, and religious based adoption agencies should frankly not exist. Anything that is taxpayer funded should 100% treat people equally regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. But here's the thing, if that baker was forced to make a cake that goes against his religious beliefs for an LGBTQ+ Couple, that would also samely apply to an LGBTQ+ Baker being forced to make a homophobic cake despite being Episcopalian or Unitarian Universalist or Presbyterian or some other LGBTQ+ accepting church and having those beliefs. The script can be flipped in a lot of unfortunate ways, and I know if I owned my own business I would not want to be forced to serve someone hateful, and I don't think this man should be told who we can or can't serve. Honestly I think business should be required to post that in the window so we know what kind of places we're spending our money at and weather or not they care about us or not. But no, must of what you mentioned, that can have an extremely valid argument for why that shouldn't be in place and doesn't "go against someones religious protections" cause it does harm the public overall, but this cake thing, it doesn't, and I think of how if he court hadn't sided with the baker, how this could be weaponized, and that's honestly more terrifying.
@@sunnyboi2461 Okay, I'm sorry for accusing you of lying about your orientation and identity. And I do hear what you're saying and yes, there is nuance in this debate.
But first of all, saying that it's wrong for doctors to deny care because to those they are prejudice against doesn't change the fact that it happens and that it's perfectly legal. It doesn't change the fact that people who need medical care are being forced to look elsewhere (sometimes even in emergency situations).
And yes, faith-based child care services should not exist... That doesn't change the fact that they do exist and that reform needs to happen so that queer people don't have to pay for services that they are being denied.
My big question/point is this:
1) I hear your point that concerns freedom of speech. One thing I would say though is that if someone denies services to one individual that they ALSO deny to EVERYONE ELSE, that is very different than denying services to someone that you DO provide to other people. For example, someone who bakes wedding cakes for straight couples but denies the exact same service to LGBQ+ folks. In the latter example, it's the queer individuals that are being denied services rather than the baker simply using their own discretion.
2) When the same laws that protect artists from denying services to us queer folks ALSO protects anyone who denies essential services/employment to us... can you tell me how you would neatly make it so that under absolutely NO circumstances are we denied services that will hurt our livelihoods?
3) And when businesses can post notes in their windows that tell queer people "You are not welcome here" or "Go somewhere where you are welcome"... that's segregation. It was segregation when it applied to people of color and is no different than when it's directed towards us.
I'd quote MLK Jr. when he said "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere".
I know it's just a freaking cake but there's more to it than just that.
@@KeilyShhh there's obviously more to this then it just being a cake. And no kidding, it doesn't the change facts all those things currently exist, that's why I'm glad I live in California where those things thankfully don't exist and with my work in politics, work to elect people to help try and fix those problems in this country. And I'll be honest, personally, I sort of agree that any private business should have the ability to serve or not serve whomever they want too, I mean we protect hate speech in this country, and if people want to be racist or sexist or homophobic then air those feelings out to everyone so we know where too or not too spend our money. And to your question of how to make sure that those laws that might protect those things don't interfere with people being denied essential services or civil rights or anything of that nature. If your part of a company, that is getting any sort of funds from the government, then you should be required to have to follow anti-discrimination laws, and that includes any places with SBA Loans or Govt Subsidies or a Federal Contract. Like I'd feel that would be the only way to get any sort of version of The Equality Act passed and have some protections at least when it comes to public services and those kinds of things you talked about.
"5 years later that interaction still stings: I was mortified, I mean neither one of us had ever been treated this way before at a bisnuss" I can't behleve the let some softy who got their feelings hurt over a cake go all the way to supreme Court. Parrents, please raise your kids better.
Parents are being undermined on all sides- Society, public school, sports, peer pressure etc. Parents can do their best to provide, be involved & still lose the battle as the kids hear the "sirens" drawing them down a dark road. At the end of the day, kids choose to be & do, regardless of upbringing. I know this bc I was a foster kid for almost 8 yrs of childhood. I decided for myself what type of person I wanted to be- with the help of Almighy God.
How immature adults behave when they have been told no. A type of tantrum if you ask me. As a woman, I have seen females getting into witchcraft because they want their way. I pray to God for maturity in our earth.

Equality is treating everyone equally, so a Jewish cake shop WOULD make a Jesus cake. A Muslim cake shop WOULD for whatever reason draw a woman on your cake. Those two religions both believe in being human. Being humans means you treat people kindly, fairly, and with respect (for the record so does Christianity).

Equal rights doesn't take the form of forcing a baker to make you a cake.
T G was it equality when businesses refused to serve African Americans? Was that fair? If we give the right for a business to deny service towards anyone, we give the right for all businesses to deny service to any group they choose.
Henry Sendra Yes...When said African Americans cause a disruption, they can be asked to leave. I’ve done it several times. It’s not my fault if your presence causes a disturbance. If you bring down my business, I’m kicking your ass out.
If you stole my hat, I can kick you out of my store.
If you decide to mock my religion by pretending to have a ceremony I find sacred, Well we all know where this headed.
kimmie Wise I was mentioning innocent people who just wanted to be served. It was completely unfair to not allow them service based on their skin tone. Also, gay people aren’t pretending to have marriage, they are legally getting married, and there’s nothing you can do to stop them from doing so other than blind violence.
Jane Doe I agree it’s harmful when anyone is mistreated when trying to be a patron of a restaurant or store, and I can sort of see where the baker is coming from with the wedding cake, it still doesn’t make much sense to me that we can allow an public shop to pick and choose which people are allowed to purchase which items. I also appreciate your civility in your replies to my comment. Thank you.
Henry Sendra I believe a business has a right to refuse to anyone for any reason... just say nothing at all and don’t serve who you don’t want keep your mouth shut ask them to leave and move on avoid any problwms

Why should someone's right to buy a cake trump someone's right to freedom of religion? Its hypocritical to say its discrimination of your sexuality, when you're discriminating based on the bakers religion. There are dozens of bakers to choose from, it wouldn't have taken much to say 'That's a shame, but we respect your rights. We will go somewhere else'
As a right leaning libertarian, if you want to have a same-sex marriage fine, that's your right. But you can't go into a church/mosque/synagogue/bakery/florist and force them to hold or be involved in the ceremony, in the same way as a Christian/Muslim/Jew can't force you to go to their religious ceremony

@Your local redhead feminist Over 42 million Americans (13% of total population) believe it's "always wrong" for two people of a different race to marry, many for religious reasons. Do you support a baker's right to bake wedding cakes for couples of the same race, but to refuse them to interracial couples?
Derek Williams It’s his rights. I would serve anyone if I was a baker but I could see why he wouldn’t because of his religious beliefs. I think he should have he right to deny service to anyone as long as he has a valid reason for example religion.
3:07 This should not be a “war”. People should be able to act free from intervention, so long as they are not harming anyone else. Not to mention, the couple could have gone somewhere else for a cake, instead of starting a witch-hunt and putting the baker’s safety in danger. The death threats are extremely unfortunate considering the baker seemed respectful, and his refusal was more about sincerely held individual faith and beliefs, rather than discrimination against the couple.
8:09 Similarly, I think the ruling of the case can be seen as a protection of individual freedom rather than an opposition to equality.
Breva Viva changing the (insert identity here) baker and (insert identity here) customer does not change this argument at all.
The problem that many people seem to have in understanding this argument is in distinguishing what they believe is morally just and what the government can actually have prescedence over.
This is less of a freedom of religion argument and more of a freedom of association one. This is understood once you see that the government should NEVER be allowed to force a private business "at gun point" (which is what would have occured if the supreme court had ruled in favor of the homosexual couple) to sell there products or services to anyone regardless of race, identity, sexuality, etc. This is due to the fact that a private sell must have both the consent of the one offering the product as well as the one purchasing.
Personally, I agree that it is morally wrong to discriminate which is why I would never purchase products from someone who does. Luckily, I have this right due to the most durable and just document presented in any society, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
I do like your passion for the truth though! Sadly, there seems to be a lack there of lately :)
Breva Viva oooo I like that thought. And pertaining to this argument, its a good way to get people to (hopefully) break from a narrow point of view to see a bigger picture here.
Breva Viva
The Baker isn't discriminating general service based on personal attributes - it is different - it is a specially made product being requested (& in this case DEMANDED).
For Gay Bakers, of course the same rule should apply.
It is EXACTLY the same & as wrong as FORCING a Vegan Artist to make a Sculpture especially to celebrate the Meat Industry? I am becoming Vegan & wouldn't want that. I don't think you would want to be forced to support something your against either (unless you freely signed a Contract as a paid employee, not a customer).
It's exactly the same as the gay wedding couple forcing their values on others: buy a generic cake that he already made and use that to celebrate your party. The baker had took no issue with that.
IMO, it is unethical to FORCE others to support my philosophy or ideology by FORCING them to put their artistic work into it.
That's why I'm on the Left but don't support the Left: they often want double standards & to be given special treatment, and are willing to treat others baldy to do it. And they want to Force themselves onto others all the time. That is different from standing up for oneself, where others are forcing themselves upon me.
The Mushy Brain Mushy brain indeed
Breva Viva No they shouldn’t be allowed to deny service based upon unproven beliefs.

Angeleyez cosmetics you do realize the couple THEMSELVES could be devoutly Christian? In which case the baker and the couple would share the same religious beliefs. I can tell you, the majority of homosexuals are not atheists.
Additionally, you could argue this back and forth all day. “They want the baker to accept them but they don’t accept the baker’s beliefs”. People in opposition of that could just say “the baker wants them to accept his beliefs, yet he won’t accept them”. You make a weak case for perpetuating discrimination.
Almost as shallow an argument as those advising them to just “go to another bakery”. Well, since refusing certain services to them is ok for this bakery, what if every store was run by someone who shared this man’s beliefs? (you’d find some in the south). Then they’d have no where to go. Why rely on people to individually chose whether their business implements discriminatory policies or not?
If your views impede the services people should otherwise be entitled to, perhaps business practices actually should be a bit more regulated. Dumb business move on his part, anyway. The practice of selling commodities should transcend all bias and focus solely on products and profit.
I mean, where do you draw the line? The baker stated he’d sell them anything but a cake, since cake was a symbol of their marriage, but what if the couple asserted they would instead purchase a mound of brownies and substitute their wedding cake for that. Would he still have sold them to the couple? Had they come back to that place to have a nice dessert on their honeymoon, and clearly made the baker aware of the occasion, would they still have been served then?
Sure, I’m against murder, but say I owned a hardware store and an individual walked in aiming to purchase some of my most expensive gardening tools, doing so respectfully and fairly, but he happened to be a murderer, I would sell them to him anyway, not allowing my personal bias to hinder my sale of goods and the fulfillment of his needs. Now of course, if he intended to use these tools maliciously I would be personally obliged not to sell them to him, since the consequences of doing so would be the injury or death of another person, but in the context of this video, no one was going to potentially suffer as a result of selling the couple a cake.
So, despite being against murder, just as I would sell the gardening tools to a person who had once killed and now wishes to tend to his garden, what is right for a business is objectiveness and if a couple walks in wishing to buy a cake, unless they were planning to light candles atop the frosting and burn down a church with it, I believe in selling it to them regardless of personal bias since morality is arbitrary and subjective and should not play a part in running a business.
It is called the law, stupid.

That's like telling a black couple they can't have lunch at the counter, but can pick up some chewing gum through the take-out window.
The baker sold wedding cakes to everyone EXCEPT gay couples.
The baker now has a better understanding of the Colorado laws that his business must follow, and he no longer makes wedding cakes for anyone.
As a private business owner he has the right to refuse service for whatever reason. I don't understand why people don't get that and try to force their views on other people. I am not religious but I respect his right to run his shop guided by his faith. I find it horrendous that the gay couple wanted their choice respected but they had no respect for his religious rights. It is too bad that he had to decide to stop making wedding cakes because of this case. I am sure that it did cost him a lot in lost income.
I am glad the baker won this case. You cannot force someone to make something that goes against there beliefs. I am deeply religious too and I would not want to be forced to make something I didn't want to.
Jack didnt boycott a gay wedding. He just didnt make their cake becuase of his beliefs. The gay couple could have gone somewhere else.
They wouldn't go to a Muslim bakery. Because they wouldn't have been as polite to them
did they really have to bring that poor cake maker into all of this, couldn't they have just gone to some other bakery?
Oh, boo hoo.
@@andyiswonderful And that's why the lgbtqia will never triumph over the people's religious freedom.
Because they are looking for WAR
No they couldn't. They wouldn't have been able to carry out their agenda if they just found another bakery. The mentality of those who seek to force their ideology onto others is to seek dissent, and then raise that dissent to their peers attention, then destroy the dissenter.
@@dapperfan44 Are you therefore ok with a baker refusing wedding services to an interracial couple if he believes, as 13% of Americans still do, that marriage between different races is against God's law?
If one business refuses you a service, GO FIND ANOTHER BUSINESS!!!!
You are not entitled to insisting on one business for your demands. There are other businesses that can offer you a service. Honestly.
3:36 it's basically asking people to bully the shop owner. If they have problems go to the court. Idk why but left liberals and LGBT people think that it's for them to decide what's right and what's wrong.
i just don’t understand how this went to the supreme court. you could’ve just gone to another bakery lol 🤷🏻♀️
They wanted revenge and they didn't get it.
because this gay snobs arrogant people want to have what they want without respecting others
Of course they couldn’t they are a couple of fucking DRAMA QUEENS . FUCK THEM.I cried when he wouldnt make our cake .Bloody pathetic.
Adam Brier and I will not make you cake because it’s against my religion. Lmao 😂 see how absolutely dumb you sound. Also because of this you should check the news out. South Dakota wants to make a law to stop serving colored people now. Sure are making America great again. Lol if I wasn’t making so god damn much money here I’d move to Canada.
Adam Brier you do realize that Democrats are a majority and this ruling may have passed for now but we won’t give a fuck what you think in a couple years. You can look back at this post and cry your eyes out cuz the blue waves coming baby and your a minority.
The Baker was the victim not the villain! The fact that Colorado took a way his first amendment right is really sad and concerning.
It’s his business
@jfsfrnd the gay couple could just go to another store... but no!!! They play the victim card instead... shitty bitches... fuck the SJW's as well... sending death threat wont make u look good idiots... yeah, its not just a cake, for both sides, the baker made those cakes as arts, religious expressions related... if they want to make such statement, look at both sides... bunch of snowflakes...😒
@@legion3964 yes I agree
@legion396 Yes but his business is regulated by Colorado law.
@@sr2291 so what
IT absolutely isn't about the cake it's about violating the baker's religious rights
Common sense would side with the baker on this
I'm very glad that the baker won, but I'm even more glad that there are still people like him left that stands up for his faith regardless of the consequences. God Bless Jack Phillips, and I really hope to be like him.
Yes, I hope I can be more like him too, the fact that this is even a debate in what is meant to be the most Christian country on earth is evidence enough for how we have let things slip so much
@@pola5392 amen. God Bless you.
@@seanpeters3690 God Bless you too!
@@pola5392 thanks. :)
Amén. GOD bless you brother.
Government: You gotta create cakes for gay marriages
Baker: *stops making wedding cakes*
Savage.
What a legend 👌🏼
That’s what should happen. He should sell wedding cakes to everyone or no one
Robron He didn’t refuse to make them a cake 🤦♂️
@@Lucky210309 it's his right to refuse service. The guy isn't even homophobic he refuses to make cakes that represent homosexuality and anti-homosexuality
Zoro Agario he refused to make them a wedding cake he sells to other people. That's refusing service.
I watched that video and then went into the comment section to see all the bull shit people would post about how that guy is a bigot or whatever, but I'm pleasantly surprised to have seen so many positive responses in support of the baker
This is not the only baker this has happened to. His freedom of speech and religion was not respected. It’s not that he wouldn’t let them buy anything in his shop. He decorates wedding cakes according to his beliefs. I’d bet he wouldn’t decorate a wedding cake for a satanist. Is that also discrimination? When do religious rights become equal to all other rights?
Someone did commission him to make a cake for Satan with an upsidedown-cross on it. I think this was merely out of spite of him being a Christian baker and standing firm by his beliefs.
A man's honor is seen in following his beliefs. The baker is truly an honorable man
Evangelist Gabriel Chishamba I felt so bad for him that he had to go through that
And if I had a "religious belief" that Blacks are second class citizens?
Jesse James that doesn’t fucking exist dude..
Friendly Oats On the basis of it being ingrained into people and not changeable, it is comparable.
Friendly Oats Also, autism is a behavior by your definition. Schizophrenia is a behavior by your definition. Interracial marriage is a behavior by your definition. Wanna deny an interracial straight couple service?
Regardless of your opinion, this man stood by his beliefs, even in the face of financial loss and death threats. I think that is extremely admirable.
A die-hard Nazi would also stand for his beliefs.
andyiswonderful No they would not as evidenced by the suicides of Nazi leaders and the fleeing of Nazis to places like Argentina after WW2. Those die hard Nazis certainly didn’t stand up for their beliefs once they were out of power.
@@MaxBadstibner rubbish. They absolutely were standing up for their beliefs to the bitter end.
andyiswonderful I disagree but nonetheless I wouldn’t compare a Christian baker refusing service even remotely equivalent to the attempted genocide of the Jews.
iIs religion guided in Hate,its cowardice and shameful.
"To find out who rules over you, simply find out who you can't criticize."
They cost him 40 percent of his business. He could have caved and said, sorry God, money is more important. He took a stand. He has my blessing. God's law is above man's law.
God will reward him for his stand.
ive personally met this guy and he is one of the sweetest people i’ve ever met.
really? that's pretty cool! what did he say?
learning greek we didn’t talk to him about the case
But he just doesn't bake gay cakes
Ashlen Govender he was willing to bake them a cake for their wedding with some different art on it. also offered them cupcakes and anything else in the store. he didn’t want to do the artwork on the original cake they had asked for because it went against his beliefs. he had every right to do so, just like everyone has a right to freedom of religion. the supreme court ruled that what he did was constitutional because it was. any shop owner also has the right to what they will and won’t do. doesn’t mean they can refuse service but they don’t have to say, bake you a cake with the nazi flag on it if you asked them to.
@@lindseyjohnson1998 Yea, you're absolutely right and he had the right to refuse them a wedding cake (but I feel a nazi flag would have been a different issue) and I don't think the gay couple should have taken this to court for discrimination. However, I just find it comical this far in our existence as humans he was still intolerant of a same sex marriage.
