Colorado baker loses appeal over transgender birthday cake
@nursefrombirth Definitely see this heading to the Supremes. Especially since they didn't resolve the underlying issue in his first case of whether an artist can refuse to create a product that counts their own beliefs without running afoul of anti-discrimination laws. As the article says, he won his first case on the grounds that Colorado refusing to consider that question was orts own form of discrimination.
I like to see the bad guys lose, but feel the issue is valid.
@nursefrombirth I think this case presses the artistic freedom question and the limits of that question. Does an artist, asked to create a symbolic representation, have a right to refuse when:
1) They aren't first made aware what the symbolism represents, and
2) The symbolism isn't overt.
I don't like this baker or his beliefs, but TBF the questions are valid. Consider if a liberal artist were asked to create an image of a Hawaiian shirt they later learn is for a gathering of Boogaloo Boys.
