      Should a Jewish run bakery be forced to decorate a cake saying “Praise Allah”? Or a Muslim graphic designer be forced to make shirts with the Star of David? The decision from SCOTUS clarifies that no, you can’t compel someone to produce artistic work that they’re not comfortable with.

      “No Christians Served Here” would be discrimination and remains illegal. “We don’t decorate bake goods with religious symbols on them” is legal.

        Yes. Neither of those things violates their beliefs anyway.

          But importantly, it violates their First Amendment (which covers artistic expression). The Government can’t force people to write/produce subject matter they disagree with.
