Liberal thought police.
The Gaystapo are so charming, aren’t they?
14th Amendment, Section 1:All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Note that the privileges or immunities term which John Bingham, the main author of Section 1, used in that section is just another way to refer to constitutionally enumerated rights, most of these well-known rights, such as freedom of religious expression, listed in the Bill of Rights.
RE: As for me, I think a business or individual should have the right to choose not to interact with somebody, for any reason, and not be required to state a reason.
Well, that all went moot when the Civil Rights Act became law.
How is it thought provoking? It wouldn’t matter to gays if they made such a cake or not since a Bible verse means nothing to them.

Order a pizza from them and send to a church. Please pay up front.
Or write them to support them.
Homofascists in the gay newrooms appear to be okay with it.
Interesting because some of the key Nazis who thought up the intimidation and terror tactics used against the Jews were closeted homosexuals.
Because they probably have commerce codes that would prevent that. Obviously if two people are making out in a booth you can stop that, but the “right to refuse anyone for any reason” pretty much went out the door in the 1960s.
Yes. And it only protects them in a civil case.
So, if you are denying someone a service, like the priest or the store owner the law will give you a defense in a civil case.
You still have to take it to trial and put it before a jury of your peers. My guess, if you are a priest, it never gets to a civil trial. If its because you don’t want them in your shop...I am not so sure a jury is going to go with you.
And then you are liable to damages and punitive measures.
So, I think it would have to be a pretty significant case for you to take to trial.
I find that sort of funny, actually. As you said, why on earth wouldn’t they own that web address?? Simply stupid! Now, they are paying the consequences. The fake website is full of people bashing them. Oh well. I looked them up and their pizza was rated so-so at best. When pizza is rated “so-so” in Indiana, it is probably considered pure, unadulterated crap anywhere else!
The concept that a business, any business anywhere, can refuse service to anyone is dead. It doesn’t matter if I, or anyone anywhere agrees with it or not. The sign ‘we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone’ means nothing.
Walkertown has a population of slightly more than 2,000 people. His business will be fine. It’s probably one of three eating establishments around. This will not hurt him a bit.
Typical media. Make a big deal of this only to find that it is a country bumpkin town
Yep.
So, one wonders why LBGT is making an issue out something they’ve already defeated...
Try Subway. They do a pretty good job.

Look for any gay people in the area to keep a low profile.
If I lived there I would be having pizza tonight!!!
I read the site was hacked since it probably never occurred to them it would be used like it has.
Very fashionable and chic.
