Steve Shaw	BS: Can't have your gay cake and eat it (440* d)	RE: BS: Can't have your gay cake and eat it	21 May 15
...the attempt to force a baker to produce a cake with a slogan he didn't like This is a tendentious misrepresentation of the transaction which casts the customer as aggressive and the cake shop as a potential victim. When I go into a shop to buy a pint of milk I am not setting out to force the chap to hand over the milk. I am intending (if I think about it at all) to be an equal participant in a hopefully amicable transaction. We have no reason to think that the chap who commissioned the cake was being any different. Had I described the shop's refusal to supply the cake as an attempt to force the customer to go elsewhere for his cake you would, quite rightly, have picked me up for it.
