I was born an artist. The qualifiers came later.

nope, but then again you dont see artists trying to limit who they sell to. See his religion or faith is a non issue for me. You dont like gays? Good for you. You sell stuff to the public? You need to follow the law and sell equally regardless. had the board not bothered to mention his faith this issue would have been over with.
Yes I do know, there’s this book that Christians follow called the bible, you might have heard of it.
Do you know how many different Christian denominations there are? Each one has a different interpretation.
Point out something in the bible about transgender.
Dont run away from the debate. I made the point that many many people have many many different interpretations of the bible… and they THEY dont need to convince you of anything.
Every whopper ever made is a one of a kind item. No two whoppers have exactly the same amount of seeds, same amount of mayo, ketchup, mustard.
Subway specifically calls their employees Sandwich Artists.
As for your museum quip, well it’s not a whopper but a Big Mac, but same principal.
Interpretations are irrelevant, point out any mention of transgender in the bible.
You dont seem to understand. I am not the one who will take the case to court. I may not even agree with whatever the rationale is in the mind of the religious person who is being oppressed. I dont have to agree and neither do you. You know there are religious denominations that oppose lib transgender perversion. Some are Christian. And they will take their case to court and their religious scholars will defend their position. If by looking at the number of different Christian denominations, you cannot see the likelihood of at least one of them having a doctrinal position against transexual perversion, then you can continue in your make-believe world without debating me.
No two farts are identical. But we dont recognize fart artists.
Well… not generally.

Ever heard of Le Pétomane?
Dont want to know.
He finally worked up the courage to audition for the famous Moulin Rouge nightclub in Paris in 1892. The job interview consisted of him dropping his trousers, cleansing his “instrument” by sucking up water (he normally gave himself five enemas per day), then serenading the owner. The owner, flabbergasted, hired him immediately.
Audiences didn’t know what to make of Le Pétomane at first, but within two years he’d become the highest-paid performer in France, earning 20,000 francs for some shows, more than double what the legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt did.
Point it out in the bible.
The plate should look amazing. It is art. But, imagine if table 5 says they want their food arranged so it looks like a swastika. Imagine the cook is Jewish. Should he be required to accommodate the customer even though he finds it morally offensive?
A pink cake with blue frosting is comparable to food arranged like a swastika?
Is that really the example you want to use to make your point?
Why not? It is just food artistically arranged. It still tastes the same, right?
I wouldn’t make the comparison. I feel if you have a point, you don’t have to go straight to nazism, unless, of course, the topic is nazis.
Did the NYT bother to mention this? I won’t be surprised if the answer is no.
*In the past year alone, Phillips has declined several requests to create custom cakes because of the messages that they would have communicated or the events that they would have celebrated. Phillips believes that many of these requests are not genuine; rather, they are setups designed to get him to decline the desired message. Phillips believes that the originator of a number of these requests is attorney Autumn Scardina. In late September 2017, someone emailed Phillips asking for a custom cake “to celebrate” Satan’s “birthday.” The customer requested that the cake have “red and black icing” and include “an upside down cross, under the head of Lucifer.” The customer described the cake as “religious in theme” and reminded Phillips that “religion is a protected class.” Phillips declined to create that cake because it included designs that would have expressed messages in violation of his religious beliefs.
A few days later, someone called Phillips asking for a similar custom cake. Phillips noticed that “Scardina” appeared on the caller-identification screen. Phillips believes that the caller was Autumn Scardina. The caller asked Phillips to create a “birthday” cake for Satan. The caller requested that the cake feature a red and black theme and an image of Satan smoking marijuana.
Phillips declined to create that cake because it included designs that would have expressed messages in violation of his religious beliefs. On June 4, 2018, the day that the Supreme Court issued its Masterpiece decision, someone emailed Phillips claiming to be “a member of the Church of Satan.” That person asked for the following custom cake
I cut it off there because the request was a vulgar one, plus can only quote small portions of an article anyway due to copyright.
Anyway, it’s VERY clear this man has been targeted repeatedly for harassment, which is exactly why he is going on the offensive now. Good for him.
And I bet he will win against the haters once again.
