Local cake decorator denies service to gay wedding, receives social media backlash

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."

Celebrate anal intercourse, or be put out of business.

“I can’t believe this kind of blatant and hateful discrimination is legal.”

The entitlement mentality in this country is unbelievable.

Would we be having this debate if the owner were Muslim (I know, stupid question)?

The “Mark of the Beast” days are getting closer.

My wife is getting worried that my open and growing hostility toward the PC pushers and people that hate this country are going to get me in hot water. I just smile and tell it is hot in Texas so I am used to it. Tepid is just as bad a cold to the Lord.

Let’s try this:

I’m refusing not because you’re gay but because I’m Christian.

OF COURSE it does. Just have the courage to admit it.

Do doctors claim that “anal intercourse” is healthy? For a doctor to claim that it is safe is for that doctor to ignore the dangers of bacteria, viruses.

Interestingly (or maybe not), I haven’t seen any studies that claim that it is safe.

Much outrage over this. No outrage over bearded subhumans throwing gays off the roofs of tall buildings, or hanging them by the neck.

Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. If they do, normal people may decide to withhold their business; if they don’t the queers will sue them and government will come down on them.

The “gaystapo” purple shirts strike again.

On the upside, there’s plenty of real estate in the UP to hide fhe bodies.

The yoopers know all of the best places to hide the evidence. “What gay couple? I have no idea what you’re talkin’ about.”

Easy to deal with...say yes,bake the cake and make sure an accident happens *just* before the "wedding"...offer profuse apologies and a full refund.

Word will get out among the local pervert community about how horrible the bakery is...problem solved.

Maybe a real 360 as it falls to the ground to the sounds of Allahu Akbar.
