A comment on Supreme Court Sides with Baker Who Turned Away Gay Couple. Parent comment
This overstates it some. The baker is not forced to run a business that sells cakes to the public.
> The principle you use to compel that speech would have broad implications for artists, writers, and all other creators.
Not clear what the implications would be. I am not coming with broad results or impacts in a few minutes of thought. I get examples like:
* An artists that sells couple portraits to couples can not refuse a gay couple.
* A writer who sells obituaries to the public can not refuse to write one about a gay person.
* A baker who sells cakes to the public can not refuse to bake a cake for a gay couple.
