It's a beautiful gesture of love, accompanied by a really bad movie You probably remember the sad story of Aaron and Melissa Klein, the Oregon bakers who refused to bake a penis cake for a lesbian wedding a couple of years back, then were forced to close their bakery
Do they sell cakes to atheists? Are atheists more acceptable than gays in their God's eyes? Forty years ago I was a fundamental Christian, and I am positive, as a former insider, that these bakers do not "love" ANY gay people.
Thing is, their own testimony makes no sense. Both parties admit the couple had previously done business with the baker before. (One of their mom's got their cake from the Klein's for her own wedding.) Both parties admit they knew each other. Both parties admit the one had gone through an entire cake tasting before refusing service. Which makes absolutely no sense. Why would you go through an entire cake tasting knowing that the couple was a lesbian couple and you know you wouldn't bake a wedding cake for them? Again, neither party denies these facts.
Until you hear the Bowman-Cryer side of the story. According to them, indeed, they had used Melissa Klein for their own mother's wedding, and according to them, Melissa had said, "If you ever get married, I'd love to bake your wedding cake!" And so when they did get married, they went to Melissa and asked for a tasting. She went through the tasting, and it was only until Aaron Klein found out it was for a lesbian couple, then he refused.
Mind you, it's Melissa Klein baking the cake. She had absolutely no problem baking a wedding cake for a lesbian couple.
Then again, once they found they could make all kinds of money being poster children for the religious right instead of just being nice people who agree to their original promises, that's when thing changed.
... Soup Nazi libelz!
These guys would probably send a Bund cake.
Jesus loooooooves you!
I don't think elective office is really for me. Too much time up the back paddock.
That's no way to talk about your fellow cast members and crew!
Sounds familiar. Wasn't that in a book somewhere?
What kind of pie?
They're in Oregon, so it better be Marionberry or they can go fuck themselves.

Next on Mystery Science Theater 3000, Crow T. Robot makes fun of the the cake bakers who hate the gays......

Ironically, the couple only knew of them because they gleefully agreed to bake a wedding cake for the couple's mother's second wedding.
Isn't that also, according to their beliefs, a sin?
If Harvey Milk couldn't live to see gay marriage legal in all 50 states, thank God Anita Bryant could!
