This crime occurred in 1965, but reading this is horrifying. Truly appalling and outrageous. The sick part is, the mother, Gertrude Baniszewski was the one who instigated the whole thing. She was very insecure, extremely religious (no offense to anyone who is religious here), and a raging psychopath. Thankfully, she is dead and rotting away in Hell. Some of the other torturers involved are dead too, including Richard Hobbs, who did most of the dirty work. Her crime would make Hitler or Stalin proud. TruTV-Gertrude Baniszewski

I've heard a lot of discrimination cases, but this one takes the cake! Last week in Indianapolis, a couple came under fire for turning away a special bakery order for "National Coming Out Day" at Indiana University (IU). The Just Cookies owners, David and Lily Stockton, politely explained to the caller that they didn't feel comfortable making rainbow-colored treats for a group that endorses homosexuality. As a father, David said he wanted to set the right example for his two daughters and stand by his moral beliefs. Of course, as his wife explained, anyone is welcome to come to...

INDIANAPOLIS -- A cookie shop at Indianapolis' City Market is being investigated after a university said the business refused to fill an order for a National Coming Out Day celebration. Heather Browning, a coordinator for social justice education in the Office of Student Involvement at Indiana University Purdue University-Indianapolis, was organizing the Oct. 7 event, aimed at encouraging coming out and discussion of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues. She told 6News' Joanna Massee that she called Just Cookies to inquire about getting rainbow cookies made for the event. "When I explained it to him the nature of the celebration,...

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...

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.

This is an update and prayer request with regard to a thread posted yesterday. An Indianapolis business, "Just Cookies" is being harassed and threatened to have their lease terminated from the Indianapolis City Market because of complaints from a homosexual group. The group says "Just Cookies" denied them service due to homosexual animus. The real story is that the gay group asked the business to provide them with a special order of cup cakes decorated with rainbow icing for an event promoting homosexuality. The business refused because they don't sell cup cakes. They just sell cookies, thus the name of...

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...
