Comment to Ross Douthat's "Baker vs. Empire", New York Times, 2017-12-09
"...designed for specification" is a phrase that I have never seen in any arguments pro-baker or pro-buyers. My own question was if he had been asked to put two male figures on the top of the cake. If he was to be forced to do so, could he then be forced to put a nude male-female couple on a cake?
The same kind of arguments could be applied to photographers. If they are forced to take photos of a gay wedding, could they be forced to take photos of a nudist wedding?
My understanding of the case is that the baker was not refusing to sell them a cake but refusing to make a cake to their specifications.
