So, Bakers cannot deny a gay couple a wedding cake. Even
though this violates the bakers’ rights, it is forced upon them irrespective of
what they believe. But, what people do not realize is that this opens a
very interesting door with respect to discrimination irrespective if it is good
or bad. Allow me to explain.
What this means: By forcing the baker to bake a cake
for a gay wedding legally, it set a legal precedent. That president works
both ways. So if a gay baker wants to refuse to make a cake for a
straight couple, they can't. The system works both ways and in this case
it bans all discrimination. Thus it can be applied to other groups now as
well. As such, a Jewish shop owner cannot deny a Neo-Nazi as a customer.
Nor can a black business owner deny a KKK member. Also gay clubs, men’s
only clubs, and similar cannot exist for it leaves out everyone else. So
the men's only clubs have to let women in as customers and the gay club has to
let straight individuals in or else they are in violation of this court
precedent that bans discrimination. Basically, if the baker with a religious
objection (the one with the strongest argument based on religious beliefs via
the 1st Amendment) cannot deny a gay couple a wedding cake, then no group can
deny anyone with respect to association.
Conclusion: Isn't law fun? Of course it
is, for now everyone who limits membership to specific religious groups, sexes,
ethnicities, genders and the like are subject to a lawsuit that they will very
well likely lose by using the case of the baker versus the gay couple amongst
its other associated cases. Sure, it takes away our rights, but if they
cannot choose whom they can associate with (and the method thereof), then no
one can. Of course, we need someone to bring legal action first to begin
applying this everywhere else first, but it is only a matter of time before
some vindictive character shows up to do just that.
