The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Colorado baker that refused to bake a wedding cake for the gay same-sex couple. It was a just decision. In cases of free speech and religious freedom, a gay couple demanding that a pastor marry them, or a baker bake for them, who reject gay marriage on religious and moral grounds (as I do), the pastor and the baker do not have to oblige them.
If the gay couple, married or cohabiting, wanted to rent a car from me, or hire me as a handyman, I could not legally deny them service due to their sexual orientation or their commitment to gay marriage.
This compromise seems fair. Gays are not denied their civil rights, and conservative believers are not denies their human rights and civil rights. Solomon could have done no better.
