A guy named Bill Jack walks into a bakery…

Walking into a bakery and requesting a cake be made to say “God hates fags” so you can attempt to make some point about “religious freedom” just makes you an asshole.

Bill Jack says he was discriminated against based on his creed. “Creed” is defined as “a formal statement of religious belief.”

In no account of this story ANYWHERE has it been reported that the baker refused on religious grounds. She admits she refused to write discriminatory hate speech.

She offered to make the cake and provide the asshole with icing so he could write his own bigoted statements. You can’t force someone to write (or say) what you want them to say if they don’t believe it themselves. This violates folks freedom of speech.

It’s also of interest that Jack specifically would not allow the paper with his desired hate speech to leave his hands. Hmm – worried about evidence landing somewhere, Mr. Jack?

Where this differs greatly from the anti-gay bakers in Colorado last year is two issues:

1. That baker specifically said he wouldn’t make a wedding cake for a gay couple’s wedding because it was a gay wedding. Because “gay.” Colorado outlaws discrimination based on sexual orientation. And the baker pointedly said that was what his decision was based on.

2. No one asked the baker last year to write anything specifically “pro” or “anti” anything on a wedding cake. As a matter of fact, it’s never been reported if ANY writing was requested. All that was ordered was “a wedding cake.” The baker was not being required to write anything specific to pro-gay messaging.
