Denver Bakery Refuses Service to Gay couple, sued and lost in court....

One thing that puzzles me about all of these pro-discrimination efforts the Republicans are pushing across the country is they seem to be ignoring the business side of the equation. In Arizona, the push back from business has been overwhelming. All of the Chambers of Commerce, trade associations, tourism and convention industries, airlines, the tech sector...even the Superbowl committee is questioning what to do if Brewer doesn't veto.

We heard the same thing from many of Indiana's major employers as well. Do Republicans risk losing the self proclaimed business friendly/job creators title? Is passing pro-discrimination legislation at the cost of jobs a worthy endeavor?

If only repubs fought as hard against increased spending and decreased liberties as they did the gays.

Doing the will of the religious right is much more important to them than business, the economy or liberty. They're proving that left and right.

Generally, the only legal option in the case left for the baker is to petition SCOTUS.

So, when are we going to sue Springsteen?

The Government has decreed you MUST provide services to those you disagree with.

Not really a Springsteen fan. Bu I suppose some might consider him a public accommodation.

Sure I guess....but I'm worried about Bruce. He sounds like he's been constipated since 1983.

Listening to Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro right now, they talked a bit about this.

One thing I didn't realize (I expected, but didn't realize it was unveiled to be true) is the people saught out a bakery that refused them. They got a bunch that agreed... but only wanted to find the one that refused them so they could point the Government gun at them and try to wreck them.

Sort of pissed that detail didn't get widely reported... how vindictive these ****bags are. Cancel culture has existed for a long time now.

The media knew that would turn a lot of the masses off, so why would they report it.

 

[HoughMade]

...and what is significant, but seldom reported is that the bakery would gladly sell to people of any and all orientations, any of their standard products or a custom cake for anything....except gay marriage. There is not a refusal t serve anyone. There is only a refusal to do one specific thing.

And during the civil rights era black folks intentionally sat in the "wrong" area of a specific restaurant/bus, knowing they would be refused service.

You don't challenge discrimination by avoiding it.

AND to put an even finer point on it, they would gladly do a generic item. They just would not write specific stuff they disagreed with or go and "participate" in the case of the caterers that have been sued. Come and get the food or buy the blank cake? Absolutely. Just no "offensive" writing or forcing active participation in the event on site.

And in several of these suits, the defendant offered referrals to competitors that they knew would do it. "I wont but Jerry over there will gladly do it for you."

Give me an example of a business that was willing to sell any and all of their normal products, in the normal course of business, to black people in the “civil rights era”, but refused to only sell one specific custom product to black people based upon a religious objection that is considered an orthodox interpretation of scripture and has been for thousands of years.

Not even remotely similar to the gay wedding cake debacle.

But they found countless bakeries that would serve them.

They wanted to find the one that wouldn't so they could destroy them.

These people aren't oppressed, they're just *******s.
