An Indianapolis bakery is under fire from the gay and lesbian community over a choice not to serve a diversity group.
A campus organization said it was denied service in what's become a flashpoint in the fight for equal rights.
This is what they were after: a mulitcolored cupcake to celebrate "National Coming Out Day" next month; a rainbow confection to honor the diversity on the campus of IUPUI. But the student who had the order placed at Just Cookies was told no.
"We're right on the cusp of being equal with anyone else, I don't know why they would do that," said student Shan Parker.
That student's partner and close friend are both troubled by the refusal. They believe it shows Indianapolis has a ways to go to embrace the gay and lesbian community.
"They weren't asking to petition for anything, they were just ordering cupcakes for an event," said Rebecca Scherpelz.
Fox59 went to City Market to get the business's side of the story, Just Cookies, but we didn't get just one version of what happened.
"Look around, we don't have cupcakes," said owner Lilly Stockton.
Stockton said she talked to someone who did ask for rainbow cookies but couldn't accommodate the order.
Stockton: "I don't have enough colors to do that."
Reporter: "Not enough colors, not because you didn't like what they stood for?"
Stockton: "She didn't tell me what it was for."
Then we talked to her husband David, who gradually made it clear that there was an earlier order... and yes, the customer was refused.
"I explained we're a family-run business, we have two young, impressionable daughters and we thought maybe it was best not to do that," said co-owner David Stockton.
"Values" is the same word used in the other argument.

Homosexuals don’t want tolerance.
They want approval enforced with persecution.
I’m supposed to believe they wouldn’t enjoy making their own fabulous rainbow cupcakes?
Everyone in that area should swamp the bakery with orders..I would if I lived there..
I’ve known a lot of queers and most of those guys could bake so what’s the big deal?
Maybe the bakery should have baked the cupcakes and added some human feces because most gay men ingest human feces during “sex”. You can find research about queer men and how they ingest urine and feces. Gross but (butt?) true. Maybe some flavoring would have helped?
There are not may queer folk on the planet. It is a very small % of the population. I’m sick and tired of all the noise they make. They need to STFU.
behavior is not an immutable trait. Behavior is not uncontrolable execept to these sex fetishists.
You know, I really hate how the homosexual movement has corrupted our language by hijacking our words “gay”, “rainbow”, “fudge”, “teabag” and so forth.
I wonder what would have happened had someone been refused an order of cupcakes with swastikas on them... hmmmm...
“Reporter: ‘Not enough colors, not because you didn’t like what they stood for?’”
What a leading question! The name of the shop “JUST COOKIES” apparently didn’t sink in ? How stupid is that reporter, or was she there on a gay-friendly mission? This is not a story worthy of any serious news media outlet’s time, but, oh, no .. they send a ‘reporter’ out to interview the owners with blatant sympathy to the aggrieved lesbians?
Utterly ridiculous! Private bakery can do as they please as long as they don't poison people.....which is what these G & L people are - POISONOUS ....me embracing what?????
“You know, I really hate how the homosexual movement has corrupted our language by hijacking our words “gay”, “rainbow”, “fudge”, “teabag” and so forth.”
Agreed. I refuse to use the term “gay” as a euphemism for homosexuals and lesbians.
The other terms are off my radar screen.
No, she/he/it just believes she's/he's/it's on the cusp. She/he/it has no idea what a freak she/he/it is. She/he/it has no idea how other people look at her/him/it. She/he/it lives in a self deluded world of her/his/its own making. She/he/it thinks she's/he's/it's sane, and everyone else is crazy.
>>> it never occurred to them to find another bakery.
They did find another bakery.
Rainbows are pretty standard cake decorations. I see them regularly in standard sealed packs at Kroger. A penis shaped cake order I could understand refusing. But making an issue over a rainbow swirl on some cupcakes, that’s senseless.
“I explained we’re a family-run business, we have two young, impressionable daughters and we thought maybe it was best not to do that,” said co-owner David Stockton.”
How little trust he has in his daughters if he fears food-colored sugar glaze could turn them.
Congress shall make all people bow down to sodomites.
Some queers trying to draw attention to their cause.
I grew up in Indy I'm glad to see this, as an aside, my step son is over the top gay...............but wow can that man cook!
Make your own cupcakes.
I want to see the Vid of the spokesperson saying:
“We’re right on the cusp of being equal with anyone else, I don’t know why they would do that,”
The baker is far wiser than you are, I see.
He understands, as did the customer, that this was not just about rainbow colored cupcakes.
You need a little more time listening to Rush and others.
it is a cookie shop not a cake shop. they don’t make cupcakes. The homosexuals are claiming they were denied cupcakes.
