I note from reading the New York Times story that the baker apparently offered to sell other goods in lieu of baking a designated "wedding cake."

An obvious question, of course, is how such information would be obtained. Could a sign indicate the exclusive list of cupcake-eligible customers and include, in addition to payment and appropriate demeanor, "adherence to the baker's views of sexual propriety"?

Rejects free speech and free exercise claims. (The case does not involve a refusal to bake a cake displaying any particular "content" -- the bakery refused to bake any cake for a same-sex wedding.) _______________________________________________ To post, send message to Religionlaw@lists.ucla.edu<mailto:Religionlaw@lists.ucla.edu> To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/religionlaw Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.
