The analogous example would be if wal-mart hired you to decorate cakes and wanted you to do one for a wedding for gay people. If you refuse, they should be able to fire you.

If you are self employed, however, that is not the same thing. Joe plumber doesn't have to come unclog your pipes if he doesn't want to.

If having a specific job is a free choice, then you should be able to choose the jobs you do if you are self employed.

If Joe plumber opens a store and sells pipes though, he must sell to all who enter his store and offer to pay his asking price for those pipes.

And gay people will still be married whether they have a cake or not.

Your point is what? No one is arguing whether the event will still happen or not. The question is what constitutes participation in the event.

I agree.

I want to know two things. Why do I turn a year older in one moment. And can I have cake, pie, AND pizza?

chef · Guru

Cake and pie? Pffft! You've graduated to piecaken!

chef · Guru

Hey NJN - Have you see that pic on FB of a cake made from pizza?

Why yes. Yes I have. I'm making a raspberry pie with dark chocolate cake and chocolate cream cheese frosting for women's group Tuesday.

Ah, but that is a very different thing than going to your house to unclog your toilet---or going to your wedding to set up and serve the cake.

I think that would depend on the venue and also what you advertise you do, as well as is it a "storefront" plumbing shop, or a "run from the home shop with one truck".

If it's a venue you've gone to to set up cakes for other weddings, a community center for example or local Hotel "ballroom", I don't think you could legitimately say "I won't go there".

If you advertise "We deliver and set up!", then, by all rights, you have to do that. If you advertise "We deliver to private events and homes!" then you have to do that as well.

If it's a "storefront" plumbing shop, I think you'd have to go unclog any toilet who's owner agrees to your unclogging of the toilet fee.

These are just my opinion though. Others may feel differently.

No, you don't.

I did say it was an opinion, huskerbb. I didn't state it as fact. My opinion would only matter if I were on a jury in a case involving that situation.
