Officials in Indianapolis are turning up the heat on a bakery that refused to take an order from a student group seeking rainbow-colored cupcakes for next month's National Coming Out Day.
A spokesman for Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard said city officials are conducting an inquiry into the bakery, Just Cookies, which declined to take the order last week from a diversity group at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), which ordered the cupcakes for Oct. 11.
"The city's position is, it's the city's market, it's a public place," mayoral spokesman Robert Vane told FoxNews.com. "There is no litmus test for buying services or products at the City Market."
Just Cookies owner Lilly Stockon defended her bakery's decision last week, first telling Fox 59 that the shop doesn't make cupcakes, and then telling a reporter that she didn't have sufficient materials to make the rainbow colors.
But her co-owner husband, David Stockton, said he had a different reason for refusing to take the order.

Remember those signs: no shirt, no shoes no service? Well, they need a new one: No morals, no decency, no cupcakes.

Is that like "show me your papers"?
“Its called the right of association...”
That right, along with a multitide of others, went out the window DECADES ago. Now the govt has decided that it can FORCE you to make cupcakes against your will. Diversity and multiculturalism have all but killed freedom in this country.
Call them up.
Order some cookies

If you go onto the review sites on the internet, they are being bombarded with bad reviews.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE!
Refusal of service was considered the store owner's right.
looks like I need to go downtown to the city market today and buy some stuff from this guy. small business needs our support
I hate bad spelling.
It sounds as if the bakery could not fulfill the order anyway, but why would the “diversity group” have to mention what event it was for? Trying to get a reaction?
