    Right on cue, you're ridiculing the slippery slope argument. But you know that this case is going to result in a decision, which will be a precedent in future cases, based on which creative lawyers on either side will bring cases, seeking to push the boundaries of the law one direction or the other. That's how it works, as you know.

    This is all political anyway. Supreme Court decisions amount to politics, buffered by the appointments process. If there are enough justices on the Court who want to find a way to get to the bottom of that slippery slope, they will.

    It is time for Lucien Greaves and the Satanic Temple to demand these bakeries make cakes that say 'Hail Satan!' or 'Jesus Is Dead!' or something similar. The bakeries strictly cannot based on religion, so they should be forced to comply. Hilarity will ensue.

    Once again the old men at 50 E North Temple will show themselves to be diametrically opposed to 85% of the younger generation of people they lose sleep over leaving the church. The message is confusing, do they support lgbt rights, a la their explicit and implied support of the LoveLoud festival last month, or this?

    The crazy thing is they could eliminate all of their future concerns about being forced to marry same sex couples by allowing couples to marry outside of the temple, followed by a temple sealing ceremony immediately after just as they already do every other nation. Buy here in the US they force the couple to wait 12 months, which carries an implicit shaming.

    Active church-goers, does this dichotomy disturb you? I would think there is a significant amount of anti-lgbt fatigue in wards every time something like this is announced.

    Jesus would bake the damn cake.

    I honestly think the church's leaders are not concerned about the cake but about the long-term impact of societal trends on freedom to practice our religion. Whether or not one agrees with them, to be fair-minded one must at least understand the LDS memory of past persecution and the expectation that there will be persecution, to some extent, in the future. We want the law to protect us from that. This is a reasonable concern, IMO.

    I don't think the message is all that confusing. You yourself recently summed it up. The LDS church supports LGBT rights and LGBT members but asks them to remain celibate. It's been pretty consistent in that lately.

    The Church does not see the cake as an LGBT rights question - it is viewed as a religious freedom issue.

    So, no, I'm not disturbed by any dichotomy, since I think the church has been more or less consistent. I am bugged that the church can't just let the case run its course. In general, I prefer the church not to get involved in politics. And this case seems particularly trivial on both sides.

    If Jesus would bake the cake, he might also preach a sermon to the buyers (and the sellers, and all of us, really).

    I honestly hate these cases (cakes? Who cares?). But I don't buy that if this case comes out in support of the buyer that we are any closer to abolishing the first amendment. We just aren't.

    This country has a long history of rights to practice religion. I don't see any, Any evidence that that is under attack.

    I think the church's drumbeat about religious freedom (or more properly, oakes') is misguided.

    Oaks is a pretty knowledgeable law-guy, too, though. He may have insights that you don't. And you probably have some that he doesn't share. And you both know a million times more than I do.

    Mormons have both historical and doctrinal (end-of-days!) reasons to fear issues related to religious freedom. Maybe we are hyper-sensitive to it because of that.

    I read through the Atlantic's three-part series on title IX this past week. It's not related to religion, but it's striking how many people are okay with limiting others' protections and freedoms in support of their own causes.

    Slippery slopes/boiling frogs - the point is that you don't see how the result brings us any closer to the undesirable outcome. And the argument both ways on the cake thing is a slippery slope argument. On the one hand, you have those afraid of LDS bishops being forced to marry gay couples. On the other, you have those afraid of segregated sections of restaurants. All over a cake which seemingly can't move the needle in either direction. One thing we do agree on - this is all dumb.

    The Virginia-based Christian Legal Society filed its brief Monday on behalf of the LDS Church, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, the National Association of Evangelical, the National Association of Evangelical, the Orthodox Jewish Congregations and others. It asks the nation’s high court not to forget the First Amendment rights of those who are deeply religious.

    I'm guessing the Westboro Baptists are all over this too, is that really the kind of company the LDS Church wants to keep?

    Bit of a straw man, wouldn't you agree? 😉

    I was mainly trying to describe what think (think) the church is worried about. Just my impression.

    I am personally pretty fatalistic about this whole subject. I think society is going to continue to secularize, and it will be harder and harder to be religious person. Nothing new in that idea, it's been prophesied for centuries. I think the church is just trying to do its best to carve out a place for itself and its members in that world. I doubt they even think they will succeed, long-term. They just want to raise their voices in support of what they believe is right. And, as sancho said, they're trying to do so in a way that doesn't hurt or discriminate against anybody, or cause hatred or anything along those lines.

    With very few exceptions, I think every LDS person interested in this issue is trying to do what they think is right, and in accordance with their own conscience.

    What’s changed in Britain since same-sex marriage?

    The best predictor of how things would play out with a broader ruling/law/amendment in support of religious freedom is what happened in Indiana. Under Governor Pence, the Legislature passed a "freedom of religion" bill that (essentially) gave businesses the right to discriminate.... which quickly was viewed by other side as "they just legalized discrimination!"

    The LGBT viewpoint was more predominant, most businesses couldn't put up "We Don't Discriminate" signs quick enough, the NCAA was looking at ways to pull out of Indiana, etc. The Legislature quickly added a "this is not a license to discriminate" provision, Pence signed it, while admitting he didn't understand what the fuss was all about.

    Most of these religious freedom efforts are simply ways to help those uncomfortable with change feel better about themselves, or find strength in numbers, or whatever. Unless there's a Let's Not Talk About This Anymore Constitutional Amendment for topics so designated, the religious freedom efforts will only serve to further isolate and identify those who want to hit the go-back button on time.

    "I can decide who I want to serve, and you are constitutionally prohibited from telling anyone else about it, especially CNN".

    My grandma - god bless her soul - would be 1000% for a declaration signed by Trump saying "just because I don't think negroes should be allowed to live in white neighborhood doesn't make me a racist!"

    Alas, grandma passed in the 90s, and excepting the Charlottesville wing of American society, those views are over-the-horizon in the rearview mirror in America. So will it be with the bakers who decide to take themselves out of the free market, as younger generations wonder what these religious freedom efforts were all about. (Or, maybe they'll self-segregate to Christian homelands within the US, which wouldn't be a great idea for their kids, but is certainly possible.)

    This is one area where my beliefs break from the liberals and the Democrats.

    The same principle I use that says "There shouldn't be any state sponsored funding of statues dedicated to Confederate leaders" says "The private sector can decide who and who they do not want to provide services to".

    I don't think they should be forced to make cakes for gay weddings. Let the market decide before we go about making laws about this. I understand that the market is made up of people and that people have prejudices and that our leaders have to set goals and directions, but I don't think we're to that point yet. I don't see widespread discrimination of the LGBT community by retailers like there were of blacks.

    But I admit that I am not in a position to see or feel those types of experiences.

    That's the Libertarian side of me coming out.

    That's the struggle I have with this. If people who own their own business (not a shareholder business) want to be complete turds about things and not sell to the gay community, well, that says more about them than the gay couple. I'm hesitant to ask the govt to step in to do something about it. OTOH, the baker has brought his business public, and therefore, if he makes a cake, then anyone meeting the financial requirements ought to be able to purchase the cake. On the third hand.....perhaps that provision should only be applied to items that are offered to the public for sale, but shouldn't be required to produce a specialty cake upon request. IOW, the gay couple ought to be able to buy a cake if the cake has already been made and offered to the public -- but the baker should be able to turn down custom orders based on personal belief.

    I don't know -- you smart guys figure it out and I'll happily abide.

    As for me and my house, we support LGBTQ for ANY right enjoyed by all other law-abiding, tax-paying, adult american citizens of sound mind. I don't trust the govt enough to believe any other way.

    Tom lives in the ward we attend when we are in Salt Lake. He teaches the Gospel Doctrine class there. He's one of the best teachers of that class I've ever known. He's a terrific human being.

    As fate would have it, Tom's other brother Greg teaches Gospel Doctrine in a ward in our stake in L.A., where I attend at least monthly because of an assignment I have. He's ALSO a fabulous teacher and a wonderful man. Those Christoffersons are an amazing family!

    Unless they have deep seeded hatred of homosexuals causing them to be irrational, there is no reason this should be a concern. It will never happen.

    So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

    This is an understandable position; let people do what they want and let the marketplace award winners and losers. It feels very libertarian. But I doubt you (or anyone) really believes in that position to it's full extent.

    For example, I think you would have problems with a restaurant refusing service to people of color; or jews; or mormons; or women. That's why the court has essentially said if you are in the public marketplace, you cannot discriminate. In your personal life do whatever you want, believe what you want, be with people that you deem acceptable. But as soon as you hold yourself out as open for business, that means that whomever is willing to pay for your services cannot be discriminated against based on the color of their skin, their god, or their loved ones.

    "...you have a place in the kingdom"


    First, Ballard's remarks are very welcome, I'm sure, to many people. That's the big takeaway.

    This is a significant milestone, IMO. Not a major milestone, but definitely signals movement toward equality.

    Before LGBT get true equality, women will need to get the priesthood. I'm spit-balling it, but before *that* happens, there would need to be a change in policy(?) about men being able to have multiple (sequential) celestial marriages, but "sorry" for the ladies. (This may have already happened, though I think it would have leaked out.)

    The women-priesthood issue may very well get nudged further by the rash of high profile "men behaving badly" incidents in society, prompting deeper thinking about why inequality exists between the genders, in LDS theology.

    (Will Ed Firmage's (now dated) declaration that he could find no scriptural basis for denying women the priesthood become an "ahead of his time" label?)

    The Case for the Baker in the Gay-Wedding Culture War

    Not only does the author have a very good take on the Baker case, he provides some great insight to Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Capitol of Israel.

    Here is a serious question: my business that does marketing and websites has always had a policy that we don’t do certain types of sites, among them for illegal activities (of course), gambling, pornography and MLMs among others. Most of those things are based off my principles and religious beliefs. Presuming the Supreme Court sides with previous decisions against the baker would that mean I would be exposing myself to liability if someone wanted to build a gay porn site on my platform and I didn’t allow it?

    Or am I protected because I don’t allow any of that kind of activity?

    And no I’m not being facetious, I’m honestly curious (and no I don’t expect it to happen).

    In the same, if the baker says, “As a gay person you are welcome in my shop and I’ll serve you for everything but that event...” is he not doing essentially the same thing as me?
