Seth meyers kim lost to gay wedding cake
After the U.S. Supreme Court sided with a Christian baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple on religious grounds, writer-actor Seth MacFarlane criticized that ruling as nearsighted.
The 7-2 decision, released Monday, faulted the Colorado Civil Rights Commission for showing “impermissible hostility” to the baker’s religion, thus violating his rights under the First Amendment.
The “Family Guy” designer compared the religious liberty to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, upheld in this case, to the freedom to discriminate on the basis of race.
“It’s a shorter walk than we consider, particularly today, from ‘I won’t bake them a cake because they’re gay’ to ‘I won’t seat him here because he’s black,’” wrote MacFarlane.
MacFarlane went on to say “those who balk at that comparison” should remember that “religion was deployed to justify far worse treatment not so very extended ago” ― a likely reference to the Holocaust in which Jewish people were persecuted and murdered en masse for their faith.
Those who balk at that comparison include the Supreme Court majority, who criticized one member of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission for drawing a link

Last week, amid the legislative battles over "religious freedom" laws, the story of an Indiana pizzeria went viral when its owners said they would oppose to cater weddings of same-sex couples. There is likely not a unpartnered gay couple in the state who would want to order a bunch of cheese pies for their wedding day. And yet, the anti-gay establishment earned itself more than $800,000 in donations after the announcement, opening up the heated discussion of gay rights as it conflicts with business' "religious freedom" to refuse service to groups of individuals. Somehow, last night's episode of "The Fine Wife" was about exactly that.
It's impossible this gentle of timing could have been planned (CBS pointed out that the episode had been "written and filmed in February"), but the similarities were almost too eerie to think otherwise. Instead of Indiana pizza from a place called Memories, "The Good Wife" took on a California baker's refusal to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.
As a subplot in the Season 6 episode "Loser Edit," R.D. (Oliver Platt) consults Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) on the pros and cons of re-opening the baker's case. Fabulously liberal, Diane is alwa
