If the cake nazi is claiming it infringes on his deeply held religious beliefs then I'd be curious to know how many wedding cakes he's made for folks on their second or third or even fourth marriage. His bible frowns upon adulterers and supporting them should equally cause Jesus to "roast him on a spit in hell".Luke 16:18

Why not? Why shouldn't they get the FULL benefit of their "sincerely held beliefs," and why does MY sincerely held belief that all these vile scum should be run out of the country entirely somehow not allowed to be expressed?

I've had about the same thought for wedding related businesses in general. It's just about guaranteed you're going to interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds, and if you can't deal with that, you're better off doing something else.

I say go for it. It’s not like they weren’t already having a priapism over their persecution complex.

You know who we can thank for this RIFRA bullshit? Bill Clinton wanted to let Native Americans use their peyote back in the 90’s.

This guy is an exception......the whole timbre and premise of this article is pure Goebbles a la left. He is not a prostelyzing snake waving loonie "hater".....and said he'd rescue a gay from drowning or a burning house and mow his lawn and feed him if he were ill. Like it or not, in regards to the cake it was private sincerely held beliefs (as distasteful as you may hold that against him).....The constitution is a beautiful paradox, and it's the same if you owned a bakery and refused to produce a KKK wedding cake for the Grand Dragon.

And another gay couple can walk into the Cake Nazi's place tomorrow, ask for a wedding cake, and when he refuses, sue him to oblivion as long as nobody says mean things about his religion.

So... Cake baking bigot who has a road, and a sidewalk, and lights when it gets dark, and police on call, and firefighters on call, and a society with a level of prosperity that budgets for dumb cakes with slogans, and a court system to prop up his pinched, narrow minded ideas of fair trade, and a system of fair trade (while we're on the subject); this guy thinks he's got a right to refuse service to a US citizen? R U fucken kidding me??

Oh, the Bible thumpers will throw a shindig for this decision and then will haz a sad when they find it won’t apply to every instance of their hate.

I'd say that Baptists will get the Presbyterians as allies, because you know Calvinists stick together, and the Episcopalians will come to the aid of the Methodists, because the Wesleys were really Church of England without the fancy dress, and I wouldn't put my money on the Lutherans anyway, they haven't won a war since Sweden was a major world power.in the 18th Century. And don't forget that a lot of the blacques will be with the Meth/CoE gang, AME/CME in the house!
