The baker probably should have refused on the grounds that he wouldn’t engage in copyright infringement.

Respect to Patrick Stewart, at least he has common sense in this issue.

How’s he doing after Mel Gibson bit off his nose?

Stewart demonstrates a basic wisdom in his statement that "It was not because this was a gay couple they objected, it was not because they were going to be celebrating some kind of marriage, it was the actual words on the cake they objected to, they found them offensive." He recognized that discrimination, as applied legally, is about persons, not ideas, which is how I have argued businesses should operate here in America. People cannot refuse to sell cakes to white supremacists just because of who they are, but they could refuse to write something bigoted on a cake, and I think any court would defend that principle. Focus on the words and not on the people and you may stand a chance. Sadly, though, that did not hold true in N. Ireland, but I would like to think we have still not managed to fall as far as they have over there, at least not yet.

A decision so wrong that even a gay rights activist can’t agree with it. Thing is, this is a natural progression of the gay mafia’s cause. Denying anything to someone who is gay, for any reason, is by result, a crime.

Whether or not you agree with Patrick Stewart on gay rights, I’ll give him credit for a certain consistency. He may be all for the gays, but he’s also for the right to say no to them and against their efforts to force their agenda on those who cannot in good conscience support it.

I can accept that, whether or not I completely agree.

He doesn’t want to go where no man has gone before?......................

Finally a gay activist with some brains. Although pointing out the writing on the wall just before the wall falls on you is a tad late. Nevertheless, better late than never. All Stewart is saying is, “hey wait a minute, I think we need to hold on to at least the last shred of personal freedom under the law, I don’t like the way the Muslims are smiling these days...”

The little boy was sitting on a park bench munching on one chocolate bar after another. After the 6th one a man on the bench across from him said, 'Son, you know eating all those chocolates isn't good for you. It will give you acne, rot your teeth, make you fat.'

The boy replied, 'My grandfather lived to be 107 years old.'

The man asked, 'Did your grandfather eat 6 chocolate bars at a time?'

The little boy answered, 'No, he minded his own damn business!'

Why is it so hard to understand that you have every right to discriminate against putting labor toward an EVENT you disagree with. You’re not discriminating against them as people - they’d otherwise make any other cake they want.

Why can’t the answer just be, “I’ll make YOU any cake for any reason except for a gay wedding?”. You’re not refusing service based on discrimination against a person because of who they are but what they’re asking you to labor toward.

When it comes to recognizing rights, people tend not to if it won’t impact them. If you’re not religious you are not sensitive to religious rights. If you’re not black you are not sensitive to black rights. etc. It can be difficult to see the injustice when it doesn’t impact you. Now we have the gay activists empowered and believing their rights trump religious rights to the point of trampling on them with impunity and not seeing the problem. They don’t care about religious rights, many probably don’t think there should be any at all.

This is compelled speech, coerced speech and forced servitude. The worst part is that they don’t even consider the backlash that will be coming as this can only have one conclusion. They think we should all just “get used to it”, regardless of whose rights are being violated.

"Transphobia"

Goody. A new word for the PC crowd. As usual, they don't get that "phobia" means fear. Those opposing GLBT types are not fearful, just repulsed.

Here's some new suggestions that can be applied to homophobia and/or transphobia:
Homorepulsed;
Homoresistent;
Homodisgusted;
Homoadverse;
Homotired-of-hearing-about-your-sex-preferences-everyday;

Feel free to add your own.

Can’t you make the cake and give whomever the icing to make whatever they want with it?

[ExCTCitizen]

Patrick Stewart is right.. Thanks for defending the bakery...

[DPMD]

Such new cakes, symbols of submission, are the new Auto de Fe. Convert or Die. Molon Labe, LGBT creeps.
