RUFKM? Judge orders Colorado Cake Maker to serve gay couples

[RblDiver]

Sorry, not buying this one bit. The baker of a cake doesn't participate in a wedding any more than an 18 year-old waitress participates in the round of drinks she serves to a table; and at least the waitress is in the same room. The baker isn't sponsoring the wedding, isn't donating the cake, isn't signing "I approve this wedding" in frosting at the bottom.

Bartenders are responsible if they serve drinks to someone who is clearly intoxicated. Even if they're not partaking of the drinks themselves, they're still participating in the inebriation.

Just wear your "I don't believe in gay marriage" shirt and go to every gay establishment you can.

Post your results.

Absolutely, but not comparable to cake.

If it is part of the baker's practice to present cakes, then absolutely he should be able to refuse.

The bartender who knows the person is drunk is still liable even if he hands the drink to a waitress who ACTUALLY delivers the drink.

Irving, I see what you're saying, but put yourself in another's shoes and try and see that this baker has the point of view that by making a wedding cake for a gay couple (and his belief that gay marriage is wrong) he is directly contributing to a practice he views as wrong. I would agree with his right to want to not take any part whatsoever, much the same as if a micro brewery were asked by the kkk to provide beer for a rally and they refused- even if they are not in attendance and all they're doing is providing beverages.

I stopped yesterday for lunch and grabbed a cupcake and a choc chip cookie. The woman behind the counter was very polite and the cupcake was one of the best I have ever had. She liked my Unapologetically American t-shirt too.

It'll be interesting to see how this goes:

I had a hard time just getting past the opening sentence.... "love is spread one stroke at a time". My mind just has a reserved space in the gutter.

Apparently I was bored enough today to read the entire thread.

I think what we should do, is everybody here is responsible for getting a gay friend or two. make them open carry, and when they are harrassed, they can claim that it's because they are gay... then we at least win while they are winning lol
