@benroyce@mastodon.social I think actually both are right - this bar, AND the bakery. Both are not essential services like grocery stores, so I see no problem with both refusing business with anyone they don't like.

The bakery issue is a bit more complicated as it was not refusing business in general to gay people - it was only not wanting to write some text on the cake that the gay people wanted. Although bigoted, I am fine with that, as this is not an essential service of any kind, although they better not have anything like "we will write on your cake whatever you want" in their advertising, as false advertising can rightfully lead to civil claims.

The bar too? No, bars generally don't advertise that they would give everyone a drink. They just call themselves a "bar". So I see no false advertising related issues there.
