ESCANABA, Mich. — An Upper Peninsula cake decorator is in hot water with several Facebook users as a controversial post slowly catching viral waves makes its way through the social network.
A recent status update by Bake It U.P. Cakes explains that the business denied services to a same-sex couple after it was commissioned to decorate a cake for an upcoming wedding. The decorator was unaware it was for a same-sex couple, and as soon as she found out, the business backed out of the transaction. The post states, "This has nothing to do with the person, or the lifestyle they choose. This is about me not participating in the event… I have nothing against this person for their choice in lifestyle. If this person had come to me for any other occasion and needed a cake I would have gladly made one for him."

The post ignited heated debate and fiery exchange from the LGBTQIA community and supporters of gay rights. "I've never tried the cakes, and I don't intend to. I'm bitterly disappointed in this business, as a friend of mine was discriminated against by the owner," said Eli Mai, regarding the incident. "He was refused service because he's gay. I can't believe this kind of blatant and hateful discrimination is legal."

Is it another imaginative ‘ghetto name’?
It means "we'll do *anything*...*to* anything...except normal stuff to a member of the opposite sex"
Here’s a revelation, qweerz...try a different bakery.
Shoot
Shovel
Shut-up
Shimple
What I oppose is the GOVERNMENT coming in and saying this is wrong and sanctioning the business over it.
Political correctness is the biggest bully right now. And social media is its schoolyard playground.
LGBT: Abbreviation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender. An umbrella term that is used to refer to the community as a whole. Our center uses LGBTQIA to intentionally include and visibilize the Queer, Intersex and Asexual communities under our umbrella
I suggest that the next time they try a Muslim bakery. I’m sure they will be accommodated, or beheaded.
Wonder if the person who proclaimed that sentence is as concerned about music artists refusing to perform in North Carolina??
I don’t know what Intersex means and I believe I prefer it that way.
I wonder what next? Normalization of bestiality, incest and necrophilia?
LGBTQIA — they could just call it deviant sexuality.
Well the last inservice at work that I was forced to participate in was only LGBTQI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer-questioning, intersex). I have no idea what the A stands for. Seems like every few months the alphabet soup that is this special rights group grows even more. The beauty of it is that they’re all starting to turn on one another. The gays don’t feel like the bi’s and the transgenders are truly gay enough and have co-opted “their” movement. LOL!
All of the above?
My understanding is that “intersex” is the new term for a hermaphrodite or person born with ambiguous genitalia.

Now who’s bathrooms are they supposed to use? I am sure some liberals will make this a political issue. Meanwhile, we’re $20 trillion in debt and close to economic collapse.
LOL, I agree. Don’t have a clue what it is, nor do I care to know.
This guy needs to be asked this question, "Should a black baker be forced to bake a cake for a KKK event?".
