This implies that the decision only applied to the baker<br />in this particular case.<br /><br />This particular word was a weapon to demoralize the conservatives<br />who know the difference between verdicts that are narrow or wide<br />in scope. Every time the Gaystapo tries to bankrupt another baker or<br />a wedding photographer, this case will be cited!<br /><br /><br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198944158443979863noreply@blogger.com
