So ... if she kept her mouth shut then she would've had the cake?Wrong. She asked for a pink cake with blue frosting. That is not compelled speech. He agreed to bake it. She said it was for a transition party. He then changed his mind and refused to make it because of that. After previously agreeing. That is the definition of refusal of service based on sex. As the courts agreed. You’re just flat wrong on the specifics and issues at play.
“We conclude that creating a pink cake with blue frosting is not inherently expressive and any message or symbolism it provides to an observer would not be attributed to the baker.” Courts own words.
How did she tell him? Was it in a way as to rub it in his face?
