I would argue degrading people is not desirable either.
True enough. Some are more equal than others, etc.
So we can take away the right to wedding cake, no matter the arrangement. No rights are trespassed upon.
I would bake a cake to alleviate hunger, or even for a birthday. And I would give a blanket against the cold, too! would not provide a wedding cake.
Do you believe homosexuality is a sin?
Absolutely.
Wouldn’t feeding a homosexual allow him to continue sinning?
It would also allow him to stay alive and repent.
Huh. I assume you are not descended from the conquered American Indian tribes, or from a citizen of the Confederate States of America. Many groups of “we” in the U.S. have been conquered. What would conquering the United States look like?
Where do you live? I want some stuff, and I’d like to pick out some of yours since you don’t discriminate.
And he can’t repent if he gets married?

That’s not the objection. Everyone is a sinner. That fact isn’t required to change to alleviate hunger and exposure. I am talking about cakes to celebrate weddings.
I am tasked with giving a shirt to the naked. Not a spaghetti monster shirt.
When the Indians were being killed off, they weren’t American Indians yet. Regardless, I would prefer to stay American than become a Soviet puppet or worse, Canadian.
This makes no sense. Now, if you want to BUY some of my stuff that is another matter. After all, we are not communists.
Cake does not equal wedding cake. I can refrain from serving a wedding cake and still give out cakes. No more muddying the issue.
But, still, she will find a new place to eat. We needn’t panic.
Helping to bring joy to others is not doing God’s work?
As long as you have plausible deniability. That is another Christian virtue.
Also would’ve been easier if they didn’t drive 60 miles out of their way and pass by a dozen bakeries to go to the christian one, just to persecute this guy.
He was willing to sell them a wedding cake but not customize it.
The guy doesn’t even bake cakes for Halloween as he believes it’s pagan.
This conversation is silly. You have no rights to someone else’s labor nor products.

Bro, how is that relevant to the question of freedoms? Be my answer no or yes, it isn’t relevant.
If you want my answer on a different level, beyond legal/legislative…No, he’s not our therapist/cheerleader. Love God, or despise the very concept of God, doing God’s work isn’t about everybody getting an attaboy. God may very well become hated by nearly all of mankind.
What?
It was a Christian bakery or a bakery owned by a Christian? Either way, it shows that the gay couple is more tolerant than the baker.
Is that not what he normally does? They didn’t ask for anything special.
That is debatable and subject to definitions. I could easily say that no one has the right to benefit from the blood and deaths of others at the expense of what they died for.
