Woops, sorry; I misspoke.
[b]Baker refuses to make anti-gay cake[/b]
[quote]A man is taking legal action after a baker in Denver refused to make an anti-gay cake.
At the Azucar Bakery in Denver, love is spread one stroke at a time. But even love has its limits.
So when a still-unidentified customer came into her shop about a year ago asking to have a gay slur written on a Bible-shaped cake, owner Marjorie Silva said she felt she had to draw the line.
Now she’s facing legal action.
“I just want to make cake for happy people,” Silva said. “I’m Christian. I support Christians. We make a lot of Christian cakes. But this just wasn’t right.”
The customer came into Silva’s shop in March of 2014, just months after the conclusion of a very similar incident that took place inside a Lakewood bakery in December of 2013.
In a decision that was eventually upheld by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, a judge ruled that Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips broke discrimination laws when he refused to make a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig, a gay Colorado couple who had attempted to purchase the baked good for their Massachusetts wedding in July of 2012.
Flash forward almost two years, and Silva found herself dealing with a man she described as “very pushy and disruptive,” asking her to bake a cake with an anti-gay message she won’t fully repeat to this day.
Silva said she told the customer she would make the cake with a blank Bible page so that he could write whatever he wanted inside. She said she even offered to give the man an instrument to write the words himself.
He declined, Silva said, and instead told the baker she “needed to talk to an attorney about this.”[/quote]
Some people, man...

5 RespuestasYou shouldn't be able to deny service for who a person is, but you should be able to deny service for what they ask you to do...

How can a cake be made gay?
-
The baker should be able to deny service for whatever reason.

3 RespuestasGood. I'm glad the Baker is standing up for her beliefs. And conversely, the same Baker should not be required to make a wedding cake for a gay marriage if asked.

Editado por RequiemPrime: 1/23/2015 7:02:31 PMTo be honest.... It is everyones right to be intolerant, prejudice, racist, ignorant, and hateful. They will just have to deal with the consequences, in living with a world where people also have the right to be different, whatever they may be, and what they also believe in. The owner was in her right to refuse service she did not feel comfortable in performing. And in this case, would be baking a derogatory, anti-gay cake (still amazed that someone would order something like this).

3 RespuestasI think privately owned business should be able to refuse services they don't feel comfortable with. I support gay marriage, but I equally support business rights. If they don't want to do your ducking cake, GO TO A PLACE THAT SUPPORTS YOU AND WILL. Stupid.

2 RespuestasMurica! Why does this mostly happen there?
-
I wouldn't of made the cake either.
-
I like what the baker said
-
That's violating her rights
-
I don't think it's right to publicly announce anti gay ism like that. I don't believe in it but I don't go to tier asshole to do it
-
Everything about that story is gay.

This is bullshit
