âThe point is not to see to it that gay and transgender people can live their lives as they wish to â the point is to coerce Jack Phillips into conformity.â
Fascinating piece in @NRO from Kevin Williamson.https://t.co/ADpwgUcdhnâ Brad Polumbo (@brad_polumbo) August 20, 2018
This is passes for deep thought by right wing extremists.
Cite NRO and Kevin Williamson.
This guy is a fucking baker. His job is to bake cakes. He wants to impose his religious views on those coming in to his shop to buy cakes. He doesnât want to serve LGBT. Thatâs the discriminatory action here. Thatâs why Colorado keeps finding him in violation of the law.
And screw these fuckers who think that this is the same as a kosher restaurant refusing to serve someone bacon (this is the go to bulkshit argument here).
Kosher restaurants never serve bacon or other pork products. Thatâs what makes them kosher. Bakeries serve cakes. Thatâs what they do. You donât go into a bakery and demand a turkey dinner. Thatâs not what anyoneâs asking this bakery to do. Theyâre asking for a cake to their specs. They make cakes.
Kosher (or halal) restaurants donât dig on swine. Thatâs what they do. You can ask them for dinner or sandwiches, so long as they donât include pork or pork products, because thatâs what the essence of their product is all about. Thereâs nothing discriminatory about that.
This is all about bigots being bigots.
