For certain professions I could understand, but for ohers the argument seems weak (aranging flowers, decorating a cake). Are there more SCOTUS decisions than those listed under the protected classes? | |

"I don't do that type of event" seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to say, even if it's referring to a discriminatory class (DJ saying "I don't do Bar Mitzvah parties", for instance). However, the level of involvement matters too - if the bakery won't produce a cake for the event, even if they don't need to attend, that's very different from the band which is being asked to play music during it. | |
