Guest lurkerspeaks Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 This Oregon Bakery shop owner refused to create a wedding cake for a same sex marriage because she doesn't believe in same sex weddings. People are bombarding her facebook page with comments, which she deletes pretty quickly... Lets all add to it.....keep her busy wiping out the comments on her intolerance and bigotry. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sweet...a/352725392798 I made a comment, which in 5 minutes had about 10 likes and a dozen comments, but she deleted it... Looks like another Chick fil a.... http://consumerist.com/2013/02/04/couple-claims-that-bakery-refused-to-make-cake-for-same-sex-wedding/ Quote
Guest FourAces Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 As I mentioned in another thread I am now of the mind set that we pick our battles ... we cannot go rushing into war with every nut that does not like us or refuses us service. I feel keeping pressure on the big guys big money and big religion is the best way to get our message across .. and let the locals handle the local kooks. Quote
Guest rimchair Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Shoe on the other foot: What would happen if a lesbian refused to make a wedding cake for 2 Jews? http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2013/February/Baker-Investigated-for-Refusing-Gay-Wedding-Cake/ Quote
Guest lurkerspeaks Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 So, should service be refused for a mixed race marriage? or a "colored" marriage? or one involving a older woman/younger man? Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 The baker is very cute.. Anyways, it's a delicate situation here. Can the government force a citizen to change their faith and penalize one for one's faith? After all the guy is simply practicing his beliefs. Let's see what the state attorney's general office does with this case. It's a very interesting case. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 The facebook link doesn't work any more.. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Who can turn away business in this economy? Quote
AdamSmith Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 So, should service be refused for a mixed race marriage? or a "colored" marriage? or one involving a older woman/younger man? Easy solution: Checkerboard cake... ...there's even a queer version: Or better yet, visit your local X-rated bakery... Quote
Guest josephga Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 If I wanted a cake and she said no id simply take my business else where. IMO I wouldn't want someone to be forced into making me the cake if their personal faith and values were against it.. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Well I read many vicious reviews women write on various review sites and I sometimes feel bad for the business being reviewed. Not sure why they have to be so vindictive. If they get harassed then it's a big thing but others get the same treatment then it's justified and okay. Unfortunately, I read that the innocent vendors associated with the bakery are also being attacked. I believe the supporters of the gay couple went too far. Tolerance goes in both ways, not only in one way. I have seen many usurpers rise to bring down tyrants in the name of justice through out history. Ironically those usurpers became new tyrants and do awful things and commit injustice too. Ironical isn't it? Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 This is a good blog about people trying to take out tyrants in the name of tyrants. http://ozyfrantz.com/category/callout-culture/ Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Looks like they are getting their cake. http://gawker.com/5981780/celebrity-chef-offers-to-bake-free-wedding-cake-for-lesbian-couple-after-oregon-bakery-refused Quote

That may be all good, JosephGa, but in the state of Oregon, it is forbidden to discriminate against someone based upon sexual orientation. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Sigh I wish I could go to a bakery and order a cake for my own wedding... I might just order one pretending I'm having one but what I am going to do with so much cake.. Urgh... Quote
AdamSmith Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Buy the one permanently on display in the bakery-shop window! Those are made of icing over cardboard (like a lot of commercial wedding cakes seem to be, come to think ) and will last forever. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Or just run in and scream 'I have no bread, let me eat cake!" Quote
Guest NCBored Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Or just run in and scream 'I have no bread, let me eat cake!" (And make sure to wear the appropriate wig & make-up!) Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Sigh more depressing after looking at the replies... I think I will go for pork BBQ for lunch to make myself feel better... Quote
AdamSmith Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Sigh more depressing after looking at the replies... I think I will go for pork BBQ for lunch to make myself feel better... !!! I am right now sitting in The Raleigh Times Bar & Grill. Wanna join me?! Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 AS I'm out of the States right now. I forgot to mention it to you before I left. Raleigh Times I love... Next time dear.. Quote
AdamSmith Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Fuck! Where do you get BBG else wise? Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 There is a little grill BBQ place near a park where I'm at. It's about 9 dollars per order and I get about 2 orders and lots of side dishes.. I didn't go today since I was busy but plan to go there next week. I will take some pictures and post them here..

caeron Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 If I wanted a cake and she said no id simply take my business else where. IMO I wouldn't want someone to be forced into making me the cake if their personal faith and values were against it.. I'm sorry, but I think this perspective is wrong. If somebody said, "I don't serve niggers at my diner," we'd all think that was wrong. This is the same thing. If you open a business, you have an obligation to the community and to the law to serve people. If your religion precludes you from following that law, then you need to get into another line of work where you can be a bigot and not break the law. AdamSmith 1 Quote
Guest corymonroe Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I don't understand small business owners who welcome a bullet in the foot. The goal is to attract customers, not alienate them. Dumb. Quote
