Bakery displays morals, now faces eviction

An Indianapolis cookie shop could be evicted from its longtime location for refusing a special order from a college homosexual group.

The bakery "Just Cookies" has operated in a city-owned market for over 20 years. The president of the board that oversees the market told the Indianapolis Star that he would "hate to lose them" as a tenant -- but that could very well happen because owner David Stockton took a moral stand and did not want to endorse homosexual activity.

Controversy arose this week after the owners of the bakery cited moral objections to a special-order request for rainbow-decorated cookies for next week's "National Coming Out Day" observance at a nearby university campus. Stockton told the caller he did not feel comfortable in supporting homosexual values, especially because it would not set a good example for his two daughters.

Micah Clark of the American Family Association of Indiana says there are reports the city might evict Stockton, citing a local "anti-discrimination" statute.

"If this were a Muslim-owned bakery, what would happen?" he wonders. "I don't think the city would pursue it the way they're pursuing it now. I think this is part of the liberal agenda where people must conform to the views that our culture wants in support of homosexuality."

-snip-

To make rainbow cookies for a special event with which the company has a disagreement -- I think that goes beyond the pale of what we should expect companies to do."

Meanwhile, homosexual groups are circulating memos encouraging people to stop purchasing at Just Cookies. Clark's response to that is to ask residents to do business there in support of the owners and their wholesome beliefs.

This country is now run solely for the benefit of the freaks, oddballs, perverts, lazy and unproductive. Everyone else can go to hell.

Maybe we should purchase a few dozen (or more) from him, decorated with the FR logo and send them to the idiots that approved this "law"... along with an invitation to discuss Constitutional RIGHTS! Maybe include some St George's Cross flags along with a few copies of the US Constitution!

Is there a law saying that the cupcakes have to taste good?

The bakery "Just Cookies" has operated in a city-owned market ...

As government's reach grows - "public" land, government services, government markets - the space in which people may exercise free speech or freedom of association. This is bad.

a gaggle of perverts

That's exactly what they are. And our society condones and even glorifies that lifestyle to the point where kids think it's normal, acceptable behavior. How far we have fallen.

He should have just told them that the bakery was too busy to handle their order.

A man with high moral standards most likely values honesty among them.

I wonder what the bakery owner would have done if he had been asked to bake some rainbow cookies with no mention of what or who they were for. Why the frak should a request for cookies be saddled with a political agenda? Unless, it was a setup...

The “tolerance” only goes one way, my FRiend.

Yup. That fact should be publicized, though.

I noticed that the order has changed from cupcakes to cookies.

I suppose that eliminates the argument that the place only bakes cookies as the name states.

Actually, I give the other side way too much credit for tolerance. Even a business’ donations are under the watchful eye of the Gaystapo. Remember Leatherby’s Ice Cream Stores in California. The Catholic owners donated 20,000 dollars to proposition 8 and faced a boycott, picketing, harassing phone calls and e-mails, obscene Valentine’s Day cards, and threats of physical violence to its employees.

Homos are simply one of the weapons by which the left is attacking Christianity in our society.

You can see how they actually despise homos when a conservative is discovered to be homosexual.

At lest he would still have his business and not have had to cave in to the perverts. That’s a double win.

Here is a link to comments on urbanspoon. Make sure you click the like button! I tried to make a comment about how bigoted and intolerant people are of values and morals, but they won't show it! Maybe we should all try! Show the lavender mafia what's what.
