That should solve any scruples. You are absolutely NOT being asked to attend or approve or give a gift. You are only being asked to bake the stupid cake for which you will be paid your usual outrageous fee.
Thank you.

Perhaps I have a solution
As I watch the ridiculous "religious liberty" laws being put forward in the Land of the Free to preserve poor persecuted Christians from having to participate in a same-sex wedding by baking a cake, I have a simple suggestion to offer from the perspective of someone who is teaching a legal history course.
When same-sex couples approach any business to request that the business perform the service it advertises, the couple should make clear right up front that the business, the owners, the staff and anyone associated with it is NOT INVITED to the wedding. That way there should be no confusion about what is being asked: that you bake a cake, not that you show up and eat it.
That should solve any scruples. You are absolutely NOT being asked to attend or approve or give a gift. You are only being asked to bake the stupid cake for which you will be paid your usual outrageous fee.
Thank you.
