    Default Lesbian Couple May Sue Christian Baker Who Refused to Make Their Wedding Cake

    I will not be shocked if some liberal Judge allows this silly case to see a single day in court

    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    I can't believe she'd even TRY to sue the baker for that. If i was that idiot, I'd try to realize that some people have standards, and would find a new baker!

    Doesn't any privately owned business have the right to refuse service to any customer of their choosing, based on their own criteria?
    Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours.

    Here we go again with another story of .."if I don't get my way... stop the presses... I'm going to alert the media". What is with todays society and their self centered views on every single thing under the sun. Why don't you just do what everyone else does when they get crappy service...FIND ANOTHER BAKERY. It really ain't that hard...ya damn attention whores.

    What? But, everyone needs to hear about how I've been absolutely mistreated! This is just a terrible thing! My wedding (which goes against christian faith...) is oh so more important then your christian beliefs, and you should be shunned for having standards! how dare you people be good!

    I'm sure there's a pun to be had here-- some play on having your cake and eating it too.

    No --> Civil Rights Act

    They should but they do not. This is why I believe that parts of the Civil Rights Act are unconstitutional. If I own a business I should be able hire and or serve whomever I would like. PERIOD.

    And why would a lesbian want to give money to someone who disapproves of their lifestyle? I don't get that at all.

    I know. Our society is over run by a bunch of thin skinned whiny cry babies...and it's getting pretty old.

    They think they need to not only control their own surroundings...but everyone elses too. Reminds me of a bunch of snotty nosed Jr high kids. "wahhhh...if I don't like them...you can't either...wahhh".

    It's about revenge AND control. Not only are they going to try and MAKE you bend to their will...if you won't they are going to try and take you down instead.

    This is where you just say ok, and then charge an absurd amount.

    Or you make the cake with this verse on it

    "For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one..."
    Romans 1:26

    or maybe just

    "For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”

    not so harsh and a bit hopeful..

    That would have seemed the simplest course. Okay that would cost $5K for the cake you want. Problem solved.
