A Civilization Steeped in Dishonesty
Taki's Magazine ^ | April 2, 2015 | John Derbyshire

[Scene: A bakery store somewhere in the U.S.A.]

Customer: “Good morning!”

Customer: “Great. My partner and I are getting married. We need a cake for the reception.”

Clerk: “OK, but I have to ask: Are you and your partner the same sex?”

Customer: “You mean ‘gender’? Yes, same gender.”

Clerk: “Then I’m sorry, we can’t do it. We belong to a religious group that teaches it’s wrong to promote homosexuality.”

Customer: “Oh. Is there another baker nearby I could try?”

Clerk: “Sure. Foster’s on Main Street. Three blocks that way, hang a left, one more block, next to Starbucks.”

Customer: “Thanks.”

Clerk: “You’re welcome. Have a nice day.”

Does that sound to you like a cordial exchange between sensible adult citizens of a sane nation, exercising ordinary liberties of belief, association, and sexual orientation?

You couldn’t be more wrong. What I have portrayed there is an act of HATE, in which a PERSON OF PRIVILEGE hatefully DISRESPECTS a member of a HISTORICALLY OPPRESSED minority, for the hateful purpose of hatefully maintaining the hateful structure of BIGOTRY and OPPRESSION.....

You may force a baker to make you a cake they do not want to make—BUT I wouldn’t want to eat it.

I’d bake a wedding cake for a gay wedding. Hope they enjoy the special filling.

I want the Black Muslim Bakery to bake my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah cake, and I’ll sue them if they don’t.

But, you see, they wouldn’t go after you.

It’s the kindly, open-hearted older Christians they want to drag down and destroy.

All over the map... but if I had to pick a single adjective I’d say “Libertarian”.

Take their money. Bake them a cake. Deliver it to the wrong church. Oops.

When it comes down to it, these people really don’t want to patronize a Christian Bakery. So if the Christian said, “Yeah, no problem” they’d find a way to cancel the deal. They are just looking for someone to turn them down so they can sue them.

They will eventually find their gay friendly bakery and give them the money they won from suing the Christian.

It’s all just an extortion plot.

Better yet, tell them that you will donate the proceeds to the National Organization for Marriage or the Family Research Council. That’ll make them take their business elsewhere!
