All this because they want something the cookie place doesn’t make??

How ridiculous.

Can we sue a company for NOT making something we want??

Money Quote:”But Parker said if it was a different minority group, the circumstances would be different.

“You don’t deny groups,” he said. “If you were a woman or an African-American, people would be outraged.”

So....if a KKK group wanted KKK-Kookies - this GLBT-IUPUI guy would not have a problem either? Yeah, right....

Homosexuality is a behavior, not an identity.

The custody fights between women over children when one partner leaves the lifestyle and marries a man show that.

It isn’t an identity when you are gay on Monday and straight on Friday.

This was all started by a University employee - with some title like diversity consultant or some such crap.

A State University.

Taxpayers funding people to assault businesses.

IU needs some civil disobedience.

Why not simply agree to bake the cookies and quote them at US$300.00 each? Seems to me that the bakery could then avoid this crap; but if the buyers agreed, what a payday!
