The Kentucky Court of Appeals ruled Friday that a Christian printer is free to turn down jobs that conflict with his religious beliefs.

Good. They should be able to print or not print what the f' they want.

Good, the gays could just go somewhere else that want their money.

Well, the state of Washington is about to sue the Kentucky Court of Appeals.

Good but to be honest, being a Christian shouldn't have anything to do what a private business owner can or can't do with his business regarding these type subjects.

Private business opened to the public has to play by the rules...you can't discriminate based on race, age, etc.
However, and this is the key difference here, if something is offensive to you like a giant vaj shaped cake or d*cks on a t-shirt...you don't have to do that.

You are correct. a business owner should be able to refuse to do business with anyone regardless of any other factors. A black restaraunt owner doesn't want to serve whites? That's HIS right , he owns the damn restaurant, the government cant say "you owe white people service"
Spare me your "public nonsense" because clearly business owners can discriminate, that's legal. It's only for certain reasons that discriminating is illegal and that is also a violation of the 14th amendment b/c it doesn't give equal protection of the law.

This is another example where the gay mafia is trying to shut an innocent Christian business owner down. They won't stop until every business is gay owned
Please support your local straight owned businesses

As it should be. Glad there's still some sanity left.

Though Adamson referred the activists to another printing company, and they ended up obtaining the shirts at no cost to them, GLSO’s complaint with the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission landed Adamson a ruling that would have required him to take on jobs at his business that force him to abandon his faith principles.
So pretty much everyone got what they wanted, but the liberal individuals are mad someone has a different way of thinking.
If someone didn't want to serve me for whatever reason, I'd simply go somewhere else. Why do people feel the need to cause a scene over something as dumb as this?

Right. I think the disconnect is that many of these businesses are not discriminating against people based on their protected class. They are discriminating against the content of the services or product. Shirts, cakes, events, etc. are not protected. Assuming these businesses would cater to a protected class of customer in the same exact way they would cater to anyone else, there should be no issue. In other words, if they would deny this service to a straight person as well as a gay person, no discrimination exists.

Fine with this, but it would be interesting to see what would happen in Kentucky if a gay printer refused a job to print some Jesus shirts for a Christian.

Christians profess a certain ethic that governs their entire lives, not just what they do a few hours on Sunday morning. That means business owners who acknowledge Christ as Lord over all areas of life seek to glorify Him in all that they do, including how they run their businesses.

You missed a couple of words in my post - these issues. I wouldn't let my two daughters who work for me bake a dick cake. I'm just funny that way, if I were a baker.

I personally would be fine if a gay owned print shop refused it. Legally it sounds like they would have ground to do so in Kentucky.
I'd also like to point out that the print shop is/was willing to do business with anyone (as per there disclaimer). From the article, it sounds like they denied service based on what was asked to be printed on the shirt, not based on the sexual preference of the patrons.

Right, but I wonder if the residents of Kentucky would feel the same.

I'm sure some would get all pissy about it, but tough shite

I think they'd do more than get pissy. Just on this board, we have people claiming they put a meaningful dent in Target's profits and many even supported legislation against them.

Sexual orientation isn't protected class federally or in Kentucky state law
