Bakery Faces Boycott for Refusing to Make Gay Wedding Cake

[kanekutter05]

Well my wife needs to buy a cake for a baby shower she's throwing next week...guess we just found where we're going to buy it from.

What I was trying to say is that the "Freedom of religion"(ie: the Pastry Chef) no longer exists and is being superseded by the couples desire to have him make their wedding cake.


the poor guy could face a year in jail for it...

[TFOGGER]

It actually is illegal.

Simple answer: I didn't refuse them service because they were gay, I refused them service because they were assholes...

Simple answer: I didn't refuse them service because they were gay, I refused them service because they were assholes...

Yep.

Perfect

I feel this business was targeted. The same thing happened in denver 10-15 years ago with the ADA. Alleged disabled people would target restaurants saying they did not have good enough access for wheel chairs, restrooms not up to snuff etc. Even though the city signed off on their remodels. What happened? Frivolous lawsuits the business paid rather than drag it out in court. The Rev jackson's rainbow coalition does the same thing only on a larger scale. Just wait the storm front hasn't hit land yet.

The way I see it, he didn't refuse service based on their sexual orientation, just based on the request (he did say he WOULD make them a cake for birthdays, etc... just not for a gay wedding)

He could even argue that a gay wedding is not legal in Colorado, so he does not want to participate in an event that could be considered illegal.

but I like the "I refused based on them being immature assholes" argument, too.

ETA: the "pair" of customers has the right to call for a boycott, too... I don't deny them that right. The also have the right to go pout and whine about it, too.

Dude stand up for his beliefs, He has my business.

You would almost think that "standing up for ones beliefs" would be something that gays admire........

I'm out of work but will throw him $50 just because, if need be. Some one come by and pick me up thursday morning. I'll buy you lunch and maybe we'll split a cake.

Count me in... Let's have a COAR-15 cake party, courtesy of this particular shop.

I said it before with the Chick-Fil-A thing, and I'll say it again, stick to your guns, don't let anyone press your beliefs and make you compromise them. I'm so sick of the gay community getting all up in arms just because someone doesn't agree with them. Life is not fair, not everyone believes what you do, GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON... oh but wait, they can't move on. They want everyone to bend to their will and believe that they are just as "good" as the rest of us. They preach this whole mantra that we all must be tolerant of their lifestyle, well some people don't agree with that lifestyle, can you fvcking hypocrites recognize that it's a two-way street? NO. When you're on the side that simply says "this business doesn't support XXXX, I won't support them" it gets pretty freaking stupid to see the other side say "This business doesn't support xxxxx, ban them!" I wish there was a way to fix this world so this bullshit doesn't go on anymore.
