They don't! They want the baker to say no so they can scream discrimination, run them out of business and sue them for everything they spent their lives working for because heir feelings are hurt! Half of the problems we have in society today is too much government interference and this coddling mentality to make everyone feel special for doing absolutely nothing but existing. You can either have religious freedom or political correctness. You cannot have both! Telling a catholic baker that they HAVE to bake a cake for a gay wedding or be sued is ridiculously stupid and unconstitutional. It's their business and they should be allowed to refuse to participate in a ceremony that goes against their religious beliefs. Religious freedom is one of the things this country was founded on. How much of the constitution are you willing to whittle away? And what do you think will distinguish this country from the rest of the world after all your rights are gone? FWIW: I'm Catholic and fine with gay people having the same rights as any other couple. But if my gay baker hated straight people, I certainly wouldn't want them being forced to bake my anniversary cake! |

I think it should be ok to say, "no, we won't make a vulgar cake. I won't bake a cake in the shape of a penis." If I were a baker, I'd refuse to make a swastika cake, or a KKK cake or something similar. I'm not ok with hate speech.
But a wedding cake with two grooms? A cake with a "happy anniversary Patrick and John?" A bakery shouldn't refuse that business. It doesn't hurt anyone and it's good business. |
What about a family research council pro tradtional marriage cake? |
I disagree that it won't hurt anyone. I understand that as a society we have to evolve. However, trying to shove a concept down someone's throat will not force them to accept it. In fact, I feel like it'll do the opposite. |
