RUFKM? Judge orders Colorado Cake Maker to serve gay couples

[merl]

The judge said he had to serve them.
He didn't say how much to charge or if you had to be a good baker.

Never a good idea to piss off your cook.

There is a rumor that these GUYS targeted the shop knowing the owner would not accommodate them.

I just don't understand this, personally. And here is reason #1 and reason #2 why:

Wedding cakes bakers and photographers are, at their sheer essence, artists to at least a certain degree. They are trying to capture the spirit of the couple on their 'big day'.

Never a good idea to piss off your cook.

Are they trying to make a political statement or get a cake?
If I'm forced to make a cake for someone I don't agree with, I'll do it and without the urine/semen/salt/whatever……but I won't bother trying to do a good job on it. I'd explain that I really don't want to do it, but if you insist, these are the terms. Likewise, if I'm a photographer, I'm just going to spray and pray half-assed and not bother cleaning anything up on photoshop later.

I just don't understand why, in any service industry, you'd force someone who doesn't want your business to serve you. I want someone who truly wants to do what I'm looking for.

This. The same for business targeted by Jess' rainbow coalition. Its extortion, forcing someone to do something against their will, via the courts.

And I would agree, which is why if I were the cake-maker, I'd make my own subtle statement as noted above.
