Didn't work for him, he means.
Ping!
if homo ‘marriage’ is illegal in CO...
then isn’t CO state forcing the company to be an accomplice to breaking the law?
God bless them for standing on His truth.
Can they be forced to produce a cake to commemorate a Gang-Rape? One Double Chocolate Wilding Please!
I bought some cookies from them online about half a year ago. Kind of expensive (shipping costs will do that), but pretty good. Time to order some more.
“While Sweet Cakes still does not make cakes for gay people based on its deeply-held Christian religious beliefs, Willamette Week reported last year that the bakery was ‘willing to provide baked goods for celebrations of divorces, unmarried parents, stem-cell research, non-kosher barbecues and pagan solstice parties.’”
Um, crap is still crap. I applaud them for their stance on gay marriage byt the rest of that stuff listed above is pretty anti-Christian, too.
Ah yes, the old "narrowly interpret your enemies' moral code in order to demand strict adherence to the imposed definitions."
Long ago I became fed up with liars and manipulators who were constantly looking for ways that I didn't conform to their definition of my standards of conduct.
Besides, if these divorces were caused by some self-absorbed spouse "coming out as gay", then what's not to celebrate, Willamette Week?

Gays and the government are more strict fundamentalists than the Taliban. Weird.
The consequence of their parents likely not making sure that their children were taught the reason for constitutionally enumerated rights is the following. Pro-gay, politically correct interpretations of the 14th Amenment's (14A) Equal Protections Clause aside, the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect so-called gay rights, including the “right” to gay marriage. So their children were evidently unable to argue that the politically misguided state policy which seeks to protect constitutionally unprotected gay rights does not trump the 1A enumerated right to religious expression.
In fact, not only did the state of Oregon violate Section 1 of 14A imo, that section prohibiting the states from making policy which unreasonably abridges constitutionally enumerated rights, but justices from the same generation that ratified 14A had officially clarified that the amendment added no new rights to the Constitution. It was intended only to strengthen enumerated protections.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
So since gay “rights” weren't expressly constitutionally protected before 14A was ratified, they remain unprotected regardless of 14A.
It seems to me that freedom of association includes the freedom to not associate.
As Christians it is our duty to do what we can to reform Sodomites like any sinner.
That is of course a lie -- they never ask their customers about their sex lives. They have EVENTS for which they would not make cakes.
I would be surprised if they would openly make a cake to "celebrate a divorce" -- I'm guessing most people don't actually say why they are buying cakes.
Glad the baker is STICKING IT to the PC police and the gaystapo
I love a little passive-aggressive behavior in the face of tyranny!
