Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed[W:1581]

If gay activists aren't protesting that bakery, it's because that's a troll video made by religious conservatives for the entertainment of other religious conservatives. It deliberately misrepresents the issue.

The issue is a bakery denying service based on sexual orientation. That is what happened in those videos.

Please try another excuse.

Where in the video did that happen? Exact minute and second, please.

No. They refused to make him a specialized cake that they don't normally make. They did not refuse him service on the basis of him being gay. Find a video of a Christian being denied service by a gay vendor, just for being Christian, and you'd have a valid comparison.

The make wedding cakes. You think because his was not exactly the same as the rest, is the reason they didn't want to do it?

Did you see the man who said he wouldn't even write something on the top of the cake because it had two men's names?

Are you trying to say cake bakers don't normally write something on the top of the cake?

There was nothing out of the ordinary about the cake he wanted made other than it was for 2 men.

$847 thousand dollars worth of votes to reject such intolerance and hypocrisy sends a blaring message.

The republican legislature in Ind spoke louder, and rejected the immorality of the religious right

Suggesting Indiana could violate federal protections before this legislation proves how empty the gullible truly are.

There are no protections for LGBT's in federal law when they're discriminated against by private businesses.

The Muslim baker in the video. Who else would I be referring to?

There was more than one Muslim baker in the video. Which one are you referring to and did you follow their explanations?

I saw nothing to indicate that he wouldn't be willing to sell any of his usual cakes to the customer. If I'm wrong, please point to the minute and second in the video it happened and I'll concede the point.

Go watch it again.

Why did the bakeries not want to make the cake? that is their business after all.

No demonstrable bigotry occurred... when we have a thread dedicated to a law that allowed businesses to discriminate against gays? :lol: Well, alright.
Click to expand...

where was there discrimination in this instance, FFS, the woman theorized about a hypothetical situation.

NO ONE was denied anything in this instance.

Once exposed as the bigoted haters that are the American left, they lie and lie and lie some more to protect the false message.

I repeat, NO ONE WAS DENIED ANYTHING HERE.

The self righteousness isn't working, it's desperate and lame

OK, now your turn for the usual personal insult:

If you can point to the minute and second in the video in which a baker refuses to sell a cake to the customer on the basis of him being gay then I'll concede that as being a legitimate example of discrimination.

I really don't want to watch that super annoying guy any more than I have to. Did some M. Night Shyamalan twist happen at the end whereby it was revealed that the baker refused the customer on the basis of him being gay?

Well that explains it. Thanks for playing.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Cardinal said:
Well, don't you know? No restaurants, "major" retailers and hotels have ever discriminated against gays. So the fact that they squealed with glee when they learned they might have the freedom to do just that had no significance whatsoever.
Click to expand...

That's pretty much it. The minute this law went into the realm of public discussion, you had people primarily on the right screaming that their freedom was being oppressed if they didn't get to turn gays away from their non-existent businesses. Now, that the law has been clarified,modified changed they're saying the law was never meant to discriminate against zee homos and nothing was accomplished. That's gotta be as much spin as I've ever seen on the outcome of an issue.

The law itself discriminate against gays. As per the rest of your post: tl/dr.

No, minute and second. Otherwise, based on your posts and the beginning of the video I'm going to assume that it was as I claimed, which is a misrepresentation of the issue. I'm not watching that annoying asshole in the video (the host).

In the time you've evaded my request for where in the video it took place, you could have posted it twenty times already. That tells me that it doesn't exist in the video, and I'm not listening to that annoying asshole.

Again, since you didn't watch the video, please refrain from commenting on it until you have.

You don't know what you are talking about.

This happens far too often. Leftists tend to rely on their feelings more than facts, believe they know what's going on, and react accordingly. They're a concern everywhere in the world.

This coming from a guy who believes that Native Americans lost to the Europeans because of "superior culture".

As I told Mason, I watched the video and no one was denied business for being a homosexual. Hence why you refused to give me the minute and second in which said event actually took place.

That's false... I've never said any such thing. My position is, and has always been, that gay people can do as they please, including getting married.

Respecting a persons religious beliefs has nothing to do with my feelings about gay marriage. They are 2 separate issues. I just don't thing it's right for anyone to be compelled to participate in something that conflicts with their beliefs.

Respect and tolerance is a 2-way street.

Rush Limbaugh is a 'respected mind'? Now you're just joking with me! :lamo

Good one. He's still a repulsive excuse for a human being, a serial womanizer, a demagogue of the worst sort, and a fat tub of lard.
