Sweet Cakes by Melissa, who refused for months to pay the penalty levied against them by Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian because they could not bake a wedding cake for lesbian couple, Laurel and Rachel Bowman-Cryer, finally paid, $136,927.07.
One has to say it, maybe this payment will just make the cry babies stop crying. It is literally “shush money”.
Truth and Action reported, “The gay couple who refused to take their wedding cake order elsewhere, filed suit against the Kleins, when their religious convictions about gay marriage hurt the feelings of Laurel and Rachel Bowman-Cryer.”
It is pretty certain that the owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa have hurt feelings too, as their life savings, their love of baking and their good name have been sullied by whiners who were unwilling to compromise and shop somewhere else.
Bullies hurt feelings and the bullies in this case are not the Kliens, but Laurel and Rachel Bowman-Cryer. Follow up on the development on the next page.
Well it sounds like you have a problem with our justice system, since they’re not private contractors then that’s a stupid lawsuit anyway. It’s even worse that you’re trying to use that as an excuse to discriminate against people and not just alcohol. The law of the land now says that being gay is okay, through the separation of church and state a court can’t defend prejudice based on religious grounds. If you have a problem with it then change the constitution. Then again, if you combine church and state I wonder what’ll happen if Islam becomes the majority religion.
If I, as an agnostic, go into a Jewish Deli and order a rump roast, I have NO RIGHT to make a scene and sue because they followed their beliefs and not mine. They are not discriminating against me, they are following their religion. In addition, they have not caused me harm, because I can go to the non-kosher deli next door and obtain what I want.
No the people have rights, a gay cake and kosher meats are different, since if I’m not a Jew I can go in and buy kosher supply’s or non kosher supplies anywhere else if I so choose: not discrimination. If a gay person goes in and every store is a Christian bakery, then by your logic they’re not getting a cake: discrimination.
Please, if you’re going to try to make me look like an idiot learn to use context clues and read.
Here’s the thing, the Jewish bakery isn’t refusing services they would give to a Christian, Muslim or atheist. They are just refusing to serve a certain product: not discrimination.
This bakery refused to provide a service to the lesbian couple which they would have provided to any African American or Muslim: discrimination.
You can be selective in what products you sell, but you can’t be selective towards who you sell them to. It’s not even the same situation you’re trying to argue.
Just goes to show you how those queers and$#%&!@*divers will go to deny others the same rights they have.freedom of choice is being bombarded by judges that are bought off and probably participate or condone their lifestyle while denying Christians the same rights to live their lifestyle under the same constitution.
If every store is a christian store? I don’t have to make you look like an idiot, that sentence right there is enough. It simply isn’t discrimination to refuse to make a product. No amount of twisting words will lead a person to that conclusion. You are defending a loosing position.
It IS the same situation. The product is a gay wedding cake. Period.
My cousin who got married on NYE got his cupcakes from a bakery. I don’t know the religious leanings of that bakery, probably because my cousin didn’t ask for GAY cupcakes.
Or perhaps because they don’t care one way or another. I know one thing though, if the bakery did refuse, there is another right next door. Just like your kosher example.
There is no discrimination because they would refuse that same service to anyone who walked in the door. Also, since they can still obtain a gay cake, there is no harm done.
