Total setup going on here.
Also, you'd expect this from an 11 year old.
Total setup going on here.
A Klan meeting?
All it says in the article is this:
I'm in agreement with others that this is a total set-up.
Of course its a set up designed to point out an inconsistency.
Does America disallow hate speech of this nature? If not, then I suppose the bakery can't refuse for personal moral reasons.
Difference here I suppose (other than the obvious ones) is that the bakery did not refuse to serve THEM but rather the cake they wanted. I'm not sure they have a case.
I need to check my eyes. I read Barkley.
Difference from what? That's exactly how the other cases went down: bakeries weren't refusing service to gay patrons, but specifically refusing service for cakes made to celebrate a certain event that conflicts with their own beliefs. No one, on either side of this set of cases (all of which feel like set-ups to some degree, the above being particularly egregious), has ever refused to serve a person for who they are; it has always been about refusing to create a cake celebrating or declaring views that conflict with the baker. And yes, one shouldn't have to make something which carries a statement contrary to one's beliefs.
We're making us a cake like you've never seen before!
Heat up the oven, now we on a roll!

So basically:
"Make me a super gay cake" - 'Nah dude, I don't really support that please choose a different bakery' - "BIGOT, GAY HATER"
"Make me a super bigoted cake bro" - 'Nah dude, I don't really support that please choose a different bakery' - "MUH RIGHTS, FREEDOM HATER"
It is a clever way to get a chance to win some lawsuit money. I wonder if we will see more of this kind of stuff?
If I recall correctly, those other bakeries made wedding cakes in general. But they selectively refused to make one for a gay wedding.Difference from what?

This bakery refuses to put hate speech against gays on a cake. And I'm assuming they would also to refuse to put hate speech against anyone on a cake.
I expect after June, we'll be seeing plenty of "freedom of religion" and "religious discrimination" stories.It is a clever way to get a chance to win some lawsuit money. I wonder if we will see more of this kind of stuff?
Sounds like a set-up.

They certainly can refuse. You can personally say hateful things if you and not be in legal trouble, but a private company can refuse to do work like this if it goes against their values.
Yep. Set up in response of how other bakeries got sued for not baking cakes for gay weddings.
No one can force you to make something you don't want to make.
Would they make an anti-cake cake?
There's a pretty big difference in them.Lol10

A private company can decline service without having to give any reason (at least that I'm aware of).Of course it was, which is an excellent way to show a business should ALWAYS be able to decline a commission without having to give any reason whatsoever.
It just highlights how stupid those cases about bakeries declining to make special cakes for gay weddings were. No one can force you to make something you don't want to make.
This is completely different than refusing to sell someone an already premade cake just because it's gonna be used on a gay wedding. Denying a commission is NOT denying service, which is and should be illegal.
It hope this clears this ridiculous issue once and for all.
Would they make an anti-cake cake?
Is that legally the case? And why can they refuse to bake this cake because of values, but can't refuse to bake a gay marriage themed cake because of values? Legally I mean.
I don't anything about the legality of this and refusing to serve somebody or whatever, but they made the right choice in not making that cake.
What function was the cake planned for?
Being homophobic is a choice.
Misdirected Internet ire is a powerful tool and it looks like bigots have figured a way to use it to their benefit...This is really how they want to play things, huh?
