Essay

In his essay, John Corvino responds to an objection that refusing to sell a wedding cake to a same-sex couple is discrimination based on identity. He explains:
Some deny that refusing to sell a cake for a same-sex wedding constitutes sexual orientation discrimination: After all, the baker would equally refuse to provide a wedding cake for two heterosexual women or two heterosexual men. This objection overlooks the way in which some actions are constitutive of identity.
What does Corvino mean when he says that "some actions are constitutive of identity?" Offer an example of your own that illustrates this point. Then, consider: what might be a good way of dividing up which actions are constitutive of identity and which are not?
