Pro-gay activists have launched a boycott of an Iowa baker who declined to create a wedding cake for a lesbian couple based on her religious beliefs.
Victoria Childress, the owner of Victoria’s Cake Cottage in Des Moines, has been accused of being anti-gay, homophobic, and a bigot after she refused to make a cake for Trina Vodraska and Janelle Sievers.
Childress told Fox News & Commentary that she made five cakes for the couple to taste – unaware that they were lesbians.
“She introduced herself, and I said, ‘Is this your sister?’” Childress said. “She said, ‘No. This is my partner.’”
At that point Childress told the couple that she would not be willing to make their wedding cake.
“I was straight-forward with them and explained that I’m a Christian and that I have very strong convictions,” she said. “I chose to be honest about it. They said they appreciated it and left. That was all that was said.” But that wasn’t the end of the story. Soon Childress began receiving hateful emails and then – the local media called.
Vodraska told KCCI that she was offended by Childress. “It was degrading,” she told the television station. “It was like she chastised us for wanting to do business with her. I know Jesus loves me. I didn’t need her to tell me that. I didn’t go there for that. I just wanted to go there for a cake.”
The pair also released a statement, calling the Christian cake baker a “bigot.”

(Vodraska told KCCI that she was offended by Childress. “It was degrading,” she told the television station.)
Well Ms. Vodraska you then know how Mrs Childress felt having perverts come into her place of business. Degraded and offended.......
Ahhh, The Orientation Of Peace.......
Vodraska told KCCI that she was offended by Childress. “It was degrading,” she told the television station. “It was like she chastised us for wanting to do business with her. I know Jesus loves me.
What you seem not to know or understand is that while Jesus loves the sinner, he does not accept the sin. That sin being your personal perversion.....
Oh, no, you didn’t.
"{Whine!} I'm offended! Make it stop!" {stomp!}
Good for this baker - may her business flourish.
One of my haunts is a lounge at a multi venue function hall. A group of Lesbians started having parties in the tent every Saturday night. The regular customers in the Lounge had to leave because they insisted that no men be on premises. We wondered how management would react if they said no Black people. Then came the big night. A group of Muslims had a function in the upstairs room and worlds collided. There was no celebrating diversity. Well at least we got the lounge back.
Does anyone know if she is on the internet?? We should buy some of her cakes to support her decision!!
Northampton, Mass, too. Nice town if it wasn't for the lesbies.
