Colorado baker sues state officials, claiming continued religious persecution

29. Was there anything inherently transgender about the cake requested?

Obviously he should just be happy to serve all customers, but there's a difference between a cake that clearly depicts a gay wedding or a gender transition, as opposed to a more generic cake that could be used for other purposes (straight wedding or some other event) where the baker just happens to know the customer is gay or transgender.

His "artistic expression" argument, weak as it is anyway, completely falls flat if he'd have had no problem making the exact same cake for a different customer.

Let's say a straight couple says they want a cake for a baby shower but they don't know the sex yet, so they want a cake that fades from blue to pink. If he has no problem with that, but won't sell the exact same cake to a transgender person, there's clearly no artistic expression issue there. Only bigotry.
