Abstract

ABSTRACT Wedding cakes are a site of vigorous debate about the meaning and scope of religious freedom. Unfortunately, when we privilege religious freedom as a frame for understanding these controversies we do so at the expense of a fuller commitment to equality. In an analysis of three conservative news sources as well as three sites of discourse, small business, religious freedom, and wedding cakes, this essay explores how and why particular assertions of religious freedom inform the sense that religious freedom should be favored over the full and fair application of state and federal equality laws.

婚礼蛋糕，平等，宗教自由的修辞

婚礼蛋糕是一个关于宗教自由的含义和范围的激烈争论的场所。不幸的是，当我们把宗教自由作为理解这些争议的框架时，我们这样做是以牺牲对平等的更充分承诺为代价的。在分析三个保守派新闻来源以及三个话语场所、小企业、宗教自由和婚礼蛋糕时，本文探讨了宗教自由的特定主张如何以及为什么会让人产生这样一种感觉，即宗教自由应该优先于州和联邦平等法的充分和公平适用。
