>> Yes, they were targeted.
Naturally, the jackasses couldn’t go someplace else to fill the order.
I wonder how much of this is about empowering individuals who by ‘ordinary’ standards consider themselves to be losers and decide to adopt a way of life that is entwined with the kind of radical aggression that aims to destroy the ‘ordinary’ fabric.
Actually I don't believe they were targeted until after the fact. The gays were turned down because they asked for cupcakes and this vendor just sell cookies. Thus the name "Just Cookies". The gays have tried to turn it into a discrimination thing and make it something it never was. If they have to destroy an innocent small family business just trying to get by in the process, they are willing to do that. There groups are vicious.
What bugged me the most about that wedding case was “Bride #1” getting the vapors like Nathan Lane in The Birdcage over “the hate” in an email that said something like, “We’re sorry, but we don’t photograph gay weddings. Thanks for your interest!” I know it was the loss of freedom that should burn my hash, but the whininess of calling that hateful (whether she was telling the truth or being dramatic for effect) in a world where people die horrible deaths for their beliefs was just disgusting.
