State Takes Legal Action to Seize $135K From Bakers Who Refused to Make Cake for Lesbian Couple

Notice how the homosexual mafia targets only Christian businesses, never Muslim businesses.

Notice how homophobic bigots always say the stupidest things. Gays didn't "target" any business. Walking into an establishment to give them your money isn't "targeting" in the sense you'd like it to be. Yes, the gays "targeted" the business...probably because they had a good yelp review or they had used the business in the past.

They'd ordered from Melissa's Sweet Cakes once before — for Cryer's mother's wedding — and they enjoyed it. So, they scheduled a Sweet Cake tasting for the following day.
​

Since you're an anti gay bigot, I'm sure you're not aware that Christians are a majority in this country. Not just a majority, but an overwhelming majority. Over 70% of the United States is comprised of self described Christians. Do you know how many Muslims there are in the US? Fewer than 1%. How many of that 1% do you think own wedding themed businesses?

If I was that business I would have made a cake of horse sh!t for them... And say so you want to force me to make a cake for you and your ilk, there you go. You have a fight to refuse product and I do too... What ever happened to " right to refuse service to anyone" chipping away at our freedoms one at a time.

Embrace the suck

PA laws outlawed that freedom.

Why didn't you guys cry when PA laws first appeared in the 60s?

Probably because I was in lindergarten.

Damages to the bakers per state law, once the gay couple pressed the issue: $135,000
Damages to the bakers had the gay couple just told them to go to hell and gone to another baker, one who was happy to work with them: $0

Yep, that's the law. Did the issue have to be pressed? Nope, that was a choice.

Punish, intimidate, control.
.

I don't ask my clients who they fuck or how they fuck, it's none of my goddamned business. They hire me and I do the goddamed job, period.

Your free to run your business anyway you like. Why can't you lend the same courtesy to other business owners?

 

[bripat9643]

Lol...pretty pathetic...comparing the Oregon bakery with muslims now.

How come the homo mafia hasn't targeted a Muslim business?

Wait...you think this couple "targetted" that bakery? I see that you are not familiar with what happened.

I know the details very well. The business owners were deliberately targeted.

False...so you really know nothing about this case. Color me surprised.

False. I've followed this story and the pizza shop and the florist from day one of each event. All targeted and orchestrated by the homo mafia. Next thing you're gonna tell me is that there is no such thing as the homo mafia, huh.

Also called the GAYstapo.

The bottom line is that the government didn't start building roads until automobile manufacturers began lobbying them to do so. There were plenty of businesses in the U.S. long before that, so the claim that business couldn't exist without the government building roads is obvious horseshit.

Aren't you sort of defeating your own argument here, Spanky? Business found the system of local roads to be to ineffective for business and for their new products to be used on, so they lobbied the government to make better roads so they could do business. .

Uh wrong, automobile manufacturers wanted to sell more cars, so the bribed local and state governments into building roads. Doling out special favors to select businesses is not a legitimate function of the government. That's called "crony capitalism." Democrats claim to be against it, but they vote for it whenever presented with the opportunity.

The same with plumbing, electric. law enforcement, public health. Farming was inefficient, so the farmers demanded more government subsidies, insurance, electrification, etc.

ROFL! You have to be the world's biggest sucker. How do subsidies make farmers more inefficient? If anything, they do the opposite. Of course, every business who goes to Washington with its hand out always claims its going to benefit the country. How else do you think they con taxpayers into paying for this graft and corruption?

You see, I'd love to see us take a bunch of you right wingers and put you all in a community where you had to live with 18th century infrastructure and government, and I would truly wonder how long it would be before you people resorted to cannibalism.

ROFL! yeah, because we would have electric lights and clean water without government.

You are the perfect Democrat, Joe: you're a big fat sucker.

 

[JoeB131]

Your corrupt PA laws do not force me to serve you in violation of my conscience. Kinda like exemption from the draft as a conscientious objector. There are laws being passed by states to exempt Christian businesses from your government tyranny. Ha ha.

No, there have been attempts to pass these laws, and then big business has come along and told the Knuckle dragging GOP that, "nope, you pass this law, we are pulling all our business out of our state."

Which I think is absolutely hilarious, that you guys keep voting for big business to screw you because you hate the gays and the darkies, but they tell you that you can't have what you want.

Hilarious.

Boy, you really are a fucking retard, aren't you?

Hey, guy, modern roads is what separates America from the Third World Countries. Me, I like the fact that there are nice roads between me and the places where I work, shop, and go on vacation.

I like the fact the trip that it took my dad ten hours to make I can get done in five.

Again, I really think that we should establish a Libertarian Reserve for people like you. You get exempted from taxes, but no roads, hospitals, internet, agriculture subsidies or any of the nasty evil socialism you guys hate so much.

I suspect you'd all resort to cannibalism in a year.

Nope no harm done to you if you disagree with homosexuality and won't bend to their will. None at all. Just lose your business,money,freedom,house,cars etc etc etc. Great thing about the internet is it NEVER loses its memory so when time comes it will be fairly simple to find the scum who destroyed this nation and get revenge.

How many times do you people have to be told? You can disagree all you want, but you cannot open a business that serves the public and refuse to do business with certain portions of the public because of discriminatory reasons. It's fairly simple and straightforward. If you don't think you can follow OUR laws, then nobody really wants you to open a business anyway.

 

[ChrisL]

That's when you sell whatever you have, donate the money to charity then let the Government TRY to get money from you.

God, so many "tough" guys.

When u start a business there are laws that business must follow .

Maybe I'd be ok if they just ignored food safety rules too?

And religious rights come WAY ahead of some homosexual whining over a cake. Go get someone else to make a cake. EVERY business I have been into has a sign that says we reserve the right to refuse business to anyone for any reason. This is an attack by homosexuals on the rights of religious people. Simple as that.

No, they do not. Religion is kept separate from government and most business dealings for a darn good reason! Can people really be THIS dense?

 

[JoeB131]

No, there wasn't actual harm.

and Religion has done plenty of good, from preserving knowledge during the dark ages, to providing care to the poor. You are just too much of a egotistical smarmy bigot to see it.

I think the trheats made against this family by bigots represented real harm.

But, no Religion hasn't done good.

A lot more knowledge was BURNED by the Church in the Dark Ages than preserved. That's why we call them the "Dark Ages", because the loss of technology and knowledge and centralized government caused a regression.

As far as providing care to the poor, the Religious cause much of that poverty.

You look at any country where they really pay attention to Churches, and they have one thing in common- they are dirt fucking poor with some oligarchs living large. and the church tells them not to use birth control, which just increases the misery.

So I stand by my statement- Religion has never done anything good, not once, not even by accident.

Why such ignorance? Do you not understand the way our laws work and the reason why they exist? Are you advocating for Americans to discriminate against gay people?

 

[paddymurphy]

Piss on your tyrannical government laws.

Dissent is patriotic!

Lefties aren't singing that tune lately. Hmmmmm.

It still is...and you still suffer the consequences of breaking the law.

Not me. I'll simply lie about it if they try to force me into it. You'll have to prove it. Sorry if you couldn't whip me, asshole!

You did miss the point though, typical of you.

What a surprise? You lack ethics and integrity.

 

[ChrisL]

Religious nutters, freedom of religion has NOTHING to do with discriminating against people. The line is drawn. Your religious views can NOT conflict with our secular laws or violate another person's CIVIL rights. You nutters could say slavery is a part of your religious beliefs, or child molestation ( which obviously IS a belief in some religions anyways). Us SANE people say no way. You are free to practice your nutty beliefs, but you are not free to force them upon others through your business dealings or anywhere else.

Damages to the bakers per state law, once the gay couple pressed the issue: $135,000
Damages to the bakers had the gay couple just told them to go to hell and gone to another baker, one who was happy to work with them: $0

Yep, that's the law. Did the issue have to be pressed? Nope, that was a choice.

Punish, intimidate, control.
.

Enforcing the law is wrong then, in your view?

 

[JoeB131]

Where did JoeB say he ever approved of beatings?

I'm not entirely opposed to beatings!

God, so many "tough" guys.

It's not about being tough. It's about Right and Wrong.

Because the law requires that they not disrciminate. M

 

[JoeB131]

God, so many "tough" guys.

It's not about being tough. It's about Right and Wrong.

You are right. It's wrong for you to discriminate against someone because you are hung up about the kind of sex they are having, and its' wrong for you to use belief in an imaginary sky pixie to rationalize it.

That depends on whether or not they like the laws.

 

[ChrisL]

Gay people are just people. There is nothing to be frightened of. Gay is not contagious. You aren't going to DIE by serving a gay person. In fact, I'm willing to bet that if you sold a gay couple a wedding cake, nothing at all would happen to you. STOP living your lives in such fear and anguish over something that is HARMLESS to you.

Once the complaint has been made, the law has to be enforced.

I made that pretty clear.
