re: Kentucky Court rules Printer does not have to print Gay Pride shirts

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.

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.
