Being anti social justice warrior is a catalyst for bullying behavior

That's a really simplistic idea of the cake situation.

And as far as I remember (correct me if I'm wrong), it wasn't about the message on the cake at all. The issue was them refusing service to a gay couple, not the message on the cake.

But you'll force a guy to frost your cake with a message he finds offensive.

Why would I?  -How- would I? Have you ever stopped to wonder who it is you're talking to when you quote and then "respond" to me, lol?

How about we inject a little reality into your rabid christer fanatasies? No one -forces- anyone to bake a gay cake. They willingly accept to do so themselves when they set up a business as part and parcel of adhering to anti-discrimination laws that apply to the -completely- fucking voluntary marketplace.

If you're worried, mr cake-baker...that availing yourself of commerce might force you to write something on a cake that you don;t agree with...then pro-tip, don't open a fucking cake shop? Don't wait until the last minute to suddenly find that you have deeply held religious convictions that force you to contradict what you have already, voluntarily, agreed to adhere to.

That would be discrimination, but what about an objection to placing two men or two women on a wedding cake?

Should you be forced to create something you find personally, "religiously" offensive?

There are different types of service jobs: maintenance/repair service, destructive service (my line of work) and creative service. I don't believe a person should be forced to create something new in the world they find offensive.

They can't be forced to sell a product they don't offer.  All the couple wanted was a fuckin' cake.  The bakery just has to make a cake, and then the couple can do whatever they want to it - decorate it with little tiny dildos or put two star wars figures on top, or whatever else.  It wasn't a "gay" cake that they wanted.  Just a cake.

And if putting two little male action figures on the top of a cake (which they are not being forced to do, remember) is really a violation of your religious sensibilities, you're the one being oversensitive.

Thanks for the clarification! Yep that's discrimination and it cost them $135,000

I was secretly hoping you were wrong and it was something like this...

I'd take one of those.  Minus the bows. Those are simply dreadful.

I don't see any mention in that judgement of being forced to bake a gay "I'm sorry" cake, either.  It's almost like that shit -never- happened. Which would be strange, considering how often christers screech about it.....but then you have to remind yourself, they have a fetish for screeching about shit that never happened.

Hopefully my daughter, Mo.....never has to run into one of these assholes, because you just know their panties will bunch up if you ask them to write "Gratz to Mo and Jo" on a fucking cake. It's offensive to their dainty, cake-text-based sensibilities.
