Indianapolis Bakery Won't Serve Gay Students http://gayrights.change.org/blog/view/indianapolis_bakery_wont_serve_gay_students
Quote : | "According to the man who owns the bakery, rainbow cupcakes and cookies celebrating LGBT pride violate the values of the bakery.
"I explained we're a family-run business, we have two young, impressionable daughters and we thought maybe it was best not to do that," said co-owner David Stockton to a local Fox television station."" |
One of the story comments:
Quote : | "Claire Martin
I never knew two young girls who were traumatized by...rainbows. As I recall, when I was a young girl, I loved rainbows.
I hope that family avoids Care Bears." |

If he actually didn't serve homosexuals his product, that'd be one thing, but because he chose not to do a special order because of his personal beliefs - I fail to see the problem there...
Sure I might not have made the same decision, cause a buck is a buck, but this isn't a "we don't serve your kind here," kinda thing 9/24/2010 10:13:10 AM |

his choice to decide what his establishment serves.9/24/2010 12:55:12 PM |

while I'm 100% for gay rights it is definitely the choice of the business owner to serve whoever he wants
and it is totally the right of activist groups to encourage people NOT to patronize his bakery if they disagree with HIS beliefs
the market will sort itself out 9/24/2010 12:57:49 PM |

Exactly. If people feel that his choice is wrong, they don't have to go to his store anymore.
If enough people feel that way then nature will take its course and he will go out of business.
This is the same reason I disagree with the smoking bans that are popping up everywhere. I don't smoke and I don't want to smell smoke while I eat, so I just wouldn't go to places that stink like smoke. I would naturally go to the restaurants that were smoke free.
It is not my right, nor anyone elses, to get any custom cupcake order filled, or to be able to go to any bar I want and not smell smoke.9/24/2010 1:00:24 PM |

^^this has become my most important consideration in this as well
i suppose you pour a little in, cook for a few mins, then add the next layer and so on, but i'm a cupcake makin noob.
