The Supreme Court’s conservative majority has ruled a Christian graphic artist who wants to design wedding websites can refuse to work with same-sex couples. The decision is a defeat for gay rights.
also according to this strangely written article the design request in question was fabricated …
It would be a shame if vendors who refuse to work for gay couples were flooded with fake requests like the one in question.
Kinda crazy this is even an issue since if you didn’t want to offer your services to a protected class you could just say your not taking new business or something like that and leave out the part of why you’re not taking their business.
I think they want to go mask off.
This is in no way a defeat of ‘gay rights’. That the supreme court even heard this is ridiculous.
You cannot be forced to work for anyone you don’t wish to work for. That is enslavement, plain and simple. The reasons don’t matter.
If you say why you won’t work for someone, that might even commit some kind of crime, if you are engaging in discrimination, or maybe incorporating something slanderous in the reasons you’re giving.
If you have good sense, you won’t make a public concern of refusing to work for someone.
Now to you folks feeling somehow wronged, let me point out that these people think you are assholes; and that *you don’t want to do business with anyone who thinks you’re an asshole, and really, you don’t want to do business with anyone you think an asshole, and it seems pretty clear you would, or do.
Do you seriously want to pay someone you don’t get along with to make something beautiful and tasty for your wedding? That you will no doubt share with friends and family?
I know there are more than one cake decorator out there. I also know that many of them are eager to do business with you, as you are.
Seek out those people, and engage them. They will appreciate your business, and if you otherwise choose well, they should serve you well, too.Fuck those other assholes. Don’t let them make your big day about them.

FYI I am an old CIS terminally hetero man. But it doesn’t matter.
