What a disgrace when municipalities cater to the likes of a gaggle of perverts who believe shoving one's pee-pee into another's poo-poo merits 'special' consideration.
This, from a group demanding “tolerance”
They should move outside the city limits and take their tax dollars AND their customers with them.
Did you think you’d be allowed to have an opinion?
Wait until the army has special offices on every base and ship to root out anti-gay thought.
If I could I would buy some cookies from this guy.
And here I thought dissent was patriotic! How presumptuous I have been!
I think it's a stupid business practice to turn people away and say "We don't serve your kind" -- but still, it is a businessman's right. You own the property, you should be able to serve (or not serve) whomever you please. But, America decided that the lunch counters in the south had to serve blacks, like it or not.
From that, we get the Americans with Disabilities Act (you have to spend $100,000 on a wheelchair ramp because someday someone with a wheelchair might want to browse your store) and we get bakeries who get into hot water because they don't wish to bend over for the homosexuals.
When this country respected individual liberty and property rights, it was strong. Those days are long gone.
This is beyond insane. A private business is supposed to be allowed to reserve the right to refuse service to anyone! If this bakery won’t make a cake, then find one that will.
I hope some brave landlord has some space he can lease in Indianapolis for a bakery.
They should fight this and I am willing to contribute to the legal fight.
NO one should be forced to violate his religious beliefs.
owner of that bakery ought to sue the SOBs for every penny and piece of property they own or ever will
He should have just told them that the bakery was too busy to handle their order.
They should have just put a sign up in the window saying “All proceeds from Rainbow cakes will be donated to Focus on the Family.”
For those claiming that individuals have the right to do whatever they want on their own property (build a mosque, for example) - one more example of how that is NOT SO!
Actually they wanted rainbow cupcakes and this place only makes cookies. They are, of course, being targeted by homosexuals.
This country is now run solely for the benefit of the freaks, oddballs, perverts, lazy and unproductive. Everyone else can go to hell.
What the onwer needs to do is find a bakery that is run by perverts and try to order keep cupcakes lettered Don’t Be A Pervert see if they would fill that order for him..
Is there a law saying that the cupcakes have to taste good?
As government's reach grows - "public" land, government services, government markets - the space in which people may exercise free speech or freedom of association. This is bad.
That's exactly what they are. And our society condones and even glorifies that lifestyle to the point where kids think it's normal, acceptable behavior. How far we have fallen.
