Back at the ranch...
So the baker (who, to protect the innocent I'll in the future refer to as Sara Lee) who has no problem baking detailed custom-made opposite sex couple wedding cakes refuses to bake one for a gay couple.
And the Supreme Court agrees with Sara, 7-2.
Ok. Then the court makes a post-decision fancy statement about the importance of equal rights for gays and lesbians and blah blah blah, and rejects the claim that store owners have broad religious liberty and rights to turn away customers because of their sexual orientation.
Leave it to the S.C. to make things crystal clear.
Clearly if they were a black opposite sex couple they'd be guaranteed their fancy cake. Now. But it sure took some doing to get there.
How about a mixed race opposite sex couple? Is there wiggle room for Sara there? Pastor?
Or a Muslim couple wanting the figure of the bride on the cake to be wearing a hijab and the groom a white throbe? We good Sara?
Gets tricky. Too many very disturbing variations. What about opposite sex couples, man and beast?

I think the one thing everyone can agree on is we can't agree on everything.
And if we as a collective can't come to an agreement, who better than the individual behind the counter to make the call.
It's inevitable. SOMEONE'S gonna have their rights protected and someone's gonna be pissed.
Turning Huckabee away is pretty harmless and just purely symbolic compared to the treatment Waters feels the immigrants are receiving.
Even if you disagree with her, it's undeniable, missing dinner and missing mommy are well, pretty different.
