The problem before us is whether someone that supports a baker’s refusal to make a ‘wedding’ cake for a gay couple could then oppose the same baker inquiring about their customer’s/ employee’s vaccination status and refusing entry/ employment if they decline or are unvaccinated.
The relevant principles included (i) whether the employer/ proprietor has an absolute right of refusal; (ii) whether a employer/ proprietor can be coerced to conduct themselves by their own lights in an unconscionable manner; and (iii) whether the vaccination status of X is absolutely a private matter. This is not an exhaustive list but we should be clear about what principles being applied, which are dispute in whole or part, and/ or about the manner in which they are limited by some other principle.
