U.S. Supreme Court backs Christian baker who rebuffed gay couple | Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday handed a victory on narrow grounds to a Colorado baker who refused based on his Christian beliefs to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, stopping short of setting a major precedent allowing people to claim religious exemptions from anti-discrimination laws.

You could move to a federal regime, where in different states you had different rights. Or you could define some open-ended set of things religious people could do, one hopes including commerce.

I’m not sure if I were gay or hetero for that matter that I would want somebody who disapproved of what I was doing making my cake. Maybe a subsidized federal grant supporting gay cake bakers would take care of this problem.
