Refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding.

[2dimes]

I am wondering if anyone has actually been to a bakery where that has happened? Are there lots of them?

I think there are probably not that many but a few have got much more attention than they deserved.

[betiko]

It depends. If the cake has a normal shape, every baker shall bake. If it s supposed to have the shape of a penis, i can understand if the baker won t bake.

[2dimes]

Why? I understand not wanting to put it on display but if you want the cake from Get Smoochy, I think the bakery should discreetly provide you with one.

I don't think they should be forced by law to make a cake like that but I do believe they should be forced by law to provide any regular cake they do make, for a couple of blokes getting married.

[betiko]

I don t think any shop should have any legal obligation to make something they don t want to do.. i think they should have the obligation to sell things they dispay at the price they are displayed though... but create something they don t want..

Those gays can just order a normal wedding cake, or else create a gay bakery if they think there is a market.

I think I am agreeing with you. You have to sell whatever you make to anyone wishing to purchase the product.

I just read this again and I am compelled to fix this sentence.
Personally if a customer wants some cake I disagree with I would make an effort to provide it.
I don't even know what happened to create it.

Personally, if a customer I disagree with, wants some cake, I would make an effort to provide it.

I would not force anyone else to do that though.

Certainly, I might use lard in it too.

I believe I read somewhere that one gay couple had to travel more than 300 miles to find a baker that would refuse them service so they could get offended on TV.

They're definitely a flashpoint. I don't think I'd say that they got more attention than they deserved though. Sometimes civil rights issues need a kind of focus to highlight a broader issue.

Rosa Parks was only asked to move to a different part of a single bus.

Sym, tell us more about your fascinating subculture.
Are many homosexuals into non-consensual gake*-baking?

*gay cake = gake.

Never heard of fairy cakes?

(note: probably not called that outside the UK)

In the U.S. those would be called mini-cupcakes. They look good.

It's the Australian concept known as 'fairy bread' that I find somewhat peculiar.

Good lord, that's a sugar sandwich.

If the cake has a normal shape, every baker shall bake.

Who in the fuk would try to have anyone bake them a cake who despises you?

I can see all types of secret ingredients added to the cake.

Guys like Sym, mrs and Boganboy should try to find a like minded Baker.

Upvoted.

I almost don't want to punch Saxi in the nuts after he posted that. I sure have a soft spot for Morman art. Saxi altered Morman art is even better.

And how would you do that without asking the baker?

What a load of BS, BS. Thanks for the suggestion that there be some kind of "No Homosexuals" sign outside of homophobic bakeries that are not willing to poison gay people.

What a weird world you live in, BS.

You'd think Chicago would have taught him to bring something better to this kind of fight.
