A Gay Cake is a Happy Cake 🙂

Hhhmmmmmmmmmmm maybe its my middle class white girl with little to be discriminated against thinking, but I dont understand forcing someone who is clearly ignorant to do something. Pi ss and moan for sure, lead a boycott, whatever makes you feel better, but suing him and ultimately forcing him to make you a cake? I just dont get it. There is ignorance everywhere, you cant force them to change. Its like I tell the kids, there are 7 billion people on the planet and you can only control one of them, make it count.

And what constitutes a gay cake, anyway?

i dunno, pineapple?

why is the baker a bigot for having a different point of view/belief to homosexuals?.

why are the homosexuals not bigots for being of a different point of view/belief and

wanting to force these beliefs on every one else.?

So if I went to a bridal shop to buy a wedding dress and the proprietor  refused to sell me one on the grounds that my fiance was Aboriginal and her  religion disapproved of interracial marriages, would I be a bigot if I took her to court?

yes hahahaha *runningaroundnekid*

 

na, seriously, shop owners have the right to refuse service without a reason (as far as i know). it's their business, they can do what they want.

 

BUT that one hsa shown that he is a bleep.

 

if i was gay and wanted a cake i would just take my business elsewhere.

 

the world is very unfair. just the day before yesty i wished i had insisted that hubby comes with me to k mart. the experience (again) on the checkout with a couple of 6 foot neanderthaler men was not so nice.

 

this country turns me into a man hater slowly.

and if you went into a pub and were refused a drink because you were gay, would you just go somewhere else?

I think the issue here is whether, in the provision of services, discrimination on the basis of sexual preference is permissible.

If you go back in time 50 years, segregation was practiced in America and other parts of the world.  Jobs and services were denied to non whites and non christians and gay people and women.  It was a bad time to be anything other than a white male. 

Many commentators are trying to trivialise this issue and make it about cakes.  But the real issue here is discrimination against minorities.  That is, is it OK to fire someone or deny them a job or a service because you disagree with their race, religion, sex or sexual orientation.       

bravo,aftanas,that's EXACTLY it.

You would go elsewhere and then sue then for some $$$$. 

But in all seriousness, the debate here is not about a cake but does religious rights supersede human rights?

The answer is no.
