Judge Rules California Can’t Force Christian Baker to Make Same-Sex Wedding Cakes

A California judge refused this week to order a baker to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, ruling that to do otherwise would be to trample on the baker’s free speech rights.

Superior Court Judge David R. Lampe said in his Monday ruling that wedding cakes run to the core of the First Amendment.

    I support LGBT equality, civil rights, etc., and have been very outspoken on that, but I agree with this judge’s decision. This is about everyone’s rights/freedom in how we choose to spend our time and energy and labor, particularly when one is in business for oneself. Otherwise, what are we but slaves?

    I’ve been in a small-town restaurant whose owner refuses to serve local politicians whose policies she doesn’t like. No lawsuit. Imagine. (I wouldn’t cook for ’em either.)
