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."

If you read her response she said she would be more than happy to provide for goods anything else.

After all the publicity over this I doubt she has to worry about that anymore.

Would you EAT anything made by someone YOU forced to create?

Of course not. But it illustrates the correct questions that judges should ask lawyers when Democrats want to force Christians and others to bake cakes for perverts.
