You people are always wrong. I wrote about this years ago. If you properly apply Fourteenth Amendment "incorporation" doctrine the Federal courts must protect people from any government action that goes against the rights of citizens. The Constitutional rights take priority over what people classify as "civil" rights like the right to have State or local commissions mediating in these little whinge fests. But the problem that you totalitarians have is that the CRA basically says that "public accommodations" can not "discriminate" gratuitously. Refusing to sell "ready stock" or provide "standard services" to anyone in a "public accommodation" (there are two classes of public accommodation, one from the CRA and the other from the Americans with Disabilities Act) and if you synthesize the CRA, the ADA, and 14th Amendment incorporation doctrine, nobody can force custom services. Pepole can "discriminate" most of the time and there is nothing that you can or should do about it. Only in a narrow area of "public" life is it if rational to try to "eradicate bigotry" and the law has already clearly defined that. The reason we're arguing these issues all over again is because of the SCOTUS "gay marriage" ruling so now normal, allowable "discrimination" is being examined again under the rubric of "now it's protected" or "new understanding" doctrine. You can not lawfully force bakers and photographers or any other custom goods and services to enter in to contracts that they wish to not enter in to. You have to first show X is a "public accommodation." Custom cakes (or any custom goods) are not "public accommodation." The bakers that offer the custom products usually have "ready stock" and "standard services" that are consistently offered to all in accordance with the Civil Rights Act. Are you going to sue a designer for refusing your work? How about a custom shoe maker? You have to prove first that they are offering standardized commercial contracts/transactions to everyone else already and then you can get around "religious" or other objections. I am sure nobody here has a problem with bakers refusing to make cakes honoring German Nazis or whatever. It is the EXACT same principle. Grow up.
