Third Lawsuit Filed Against Masterpiece Cake Shop

Man I hate this issue.
First I thought he needed to just bake the damn cake. All my sympathies were with Craig and Mullins. In part because I was thinking about same-sex marriage as strongly analogous to interracial marriage.
Then I came to think that the analogy was weaker than I thought; it's a much, much bigger leap to same-sex marriage. Recognizing that case A is like case B doesn't mean that A is exactly like case B...nor that the principles in play are exactly the same. Nor that A is every bit as clear as B. (Or does it?)
And people at least deserve some time for the cultural dust to settle; time to get used to big social changes of opinion.
Then progressives just got more and more aggressive across the board. The juggernaut began to seem willfully destructive...vindictive... I started o understand why conservatives and Christians see themselves as culturally besieged.
But on the one hand: if you don't want to make cakes for a certain kind of couple, then don't go into the wedding cake business.
But on the other: this wasn't an issue, really, until Obergefell...which I never thought I'd see in my lifetime, and I'm sure Phillips never thought he'd see in his. (Also, of course: should common, orthodox religious beliefs bar one from engaging in one's vocation?)
Incidentally, I love the fact that Craig's mom called the shop the day after Phillips first turned 'em down. I can hear it now: "Mr. Phillips, my son and his husband came home yesterday and they were in tears--in tears--because you said you would not make them a cake because they're gay. And I said that I could not believe that you'd say something like that, and that there must have been some mistake..." And in the background, Craig is rolling his eyes and is all like "Mo-om cut it out..."
On one hand or another, Craig and Mullins could probably have gone to a different baker.
On another, of course: why should they have to? We'd all rightly lose it if someone turned away an interracial couple on grounds of a religious (or any other kind of) opposition to miscegenation.
On some other hand, is it reasonable to expect everyone in the culture to turn on a dime after 2k years (at the very least) of common sense and tradition?
And yet...I still kinda want to say to Phillips...C'mon, man...can'tcha find it in your heart to make the cake?
If it was me, I might be all like Y'know what? I kinda don't wantcher f*cking cake anymore. Whaddaya think about that?
(Bet it's dry anyway... Here I am wearing myself out to get a cake that's not worth pining for. (And he walked off very, very scornfully...))
More likely, though, I'd be all like NOW IT'S ON...NOW IT'S A MATTER OF PRIN-CI-PLE!!!...
In conclusion: I hate this issue.
