Bump!
Sue them all.
I believe this mischaracterizes the actual response of the Christian bakeries. They were unsupportive, but probably polite about it.
I know the Westborough Baptist Church is just a leftist front group, but how awesome would it be for them to sue the snot out of LGBT businesses? Why doesn’t some other ambulance chasing lawyer group jump on this bandwagon?
Sue!!!!
What bothers me is that there are so many faggot bakeries.
Newsflash! Leftists are hypocritical azzholes. So what else is new?
No law suit, no fight. Not even just the suit, but having them compelled by the court afterwards is the real point.
Marriage is a covenant defined by God, not a contract defined by man and thus cannot be regulated by man’s governments.
Because too many government officials are now hostile to how God defines marriage, government is being used to force me to recognize and even enable “marriage” that God tells me is morally repulsive. Just as we have a separation of church and state, we must now have a separation of marriage and state. When marriage is a private matter, then anyone can enter into any manner of relationship they please, but they cannot use government to impose their definition on others.
If this is the best that RFRA supporters can do, is it any wonder that they are losing in a rout?
I bet not one of these bakers would have refused to make a wedding cake for a man and a woman getting married — they probably each make half a dozen of them a month. They refused to make a cake that was an outright political statement. I’d bet most of them would have refused to make a cake that said “Straight Marriage is Wrong” or “I Hate Jesus” in pink frosting, too.
Requesting gay marriage cakes from Muslim bakers is a lot more to the point, not so much about whether or not gay marriage is bad but about whether liberals are freakin’ hypocrites.
Nothing worse than a queen whose feathers have been ruffled - and I know this from experience.
It would have been better to have asked the bakeries to put “Support Traditional Marriage” or even the more direct “Marriage = 1 Man + 1 Woman.” The phrase “Gay Marriage is Wrong” is too transparently provocative to appear to be a legitimate request, in my opinion.
Any Muslims being denied?
Now isn't THAT a Baker's Dozen fit for a 'queen'...
Go Muslim on them
I was expecting a video of the incidents. Clearly after being turned down a few times the cell phone would begin recording the incidents. If they didn’t then shame of them and a waste of opportunity to sue and push it back in their faces.
Sorry, not relevant.
Sexual orientation is a protected group.
Christians are not.
So this whole discussion is simply irrelevant.
