:AMR: Oh stop....If you are making the case that due to their knowledge of their local clientele they were not exactly going out on a limb with their declaration then I agree with you. The concept that they foresaw the national storm it would cause, and the resultant backlash, netting them the rather substantial windfall, is laughable.
And the people who make bandwagons have to be raking it in...what?lain:
In this case the people who constructed the "bandwagon" did so with their threats and other various forms of drama. They were the ones who turned this from a simple local blurb to illustrate the larger story into an animal in and of itself.
The Streisand Effect is still in full force on the Internet and I rejoice whenever it rears it's head....No matter who the beneficiary is.
:think: Which reminds me....
I think I'll send them some money
Barbarian suggests:
Or sell wedding cakes with individual bride and groom figures sold separately. If you want two of one kind, that's your business. But no one involved with this wants an equitable solution. They want to win and force someone else to agree with them.
No more than I would force the bakery make cakes just for gays or straights. I would object if they wouldn't sell what they have, to you. They aren't obligated to cater to your particular taste. They just have to be willing to treat you like any other customer.

:think: Personally I would have moved to this sort of thing, if I were a baker, a long time ago. I simply wouldn't sell "wedding cakes" any longer...I would sell multi-tiered "celebration cakes". The cakes would be of general use and could be customized by the person who purchased it however they see fit.
Same as it ever was.
lain:I saw that you said that. I can't prove to you that they didn't lie, but I watched the interview, and I don't think the original headline was an intentional misrepresentation of what the woman said. I think it seems like a misunderstanding, which they apparently corrected.
Of course not. Unless an atheist were to open a prayer-saying business, I suppose. But even then, they would exercise "creative control" over the prayers. Seems an odd contrivance in any case.
I have no interest in "forcing Christians not to follow their beliefs", unless their beliefs are a conveniently-adopted cover for illegal actions, and especially when those actions harm others.
I don't especially feel obligated to respond to wild straw men, but since it is so important to you, no I don't think that they should be run out of business, let alone killed, because of what they believe alone.
Because she said that they would. She's merely waiting for the opportunity. I suppose I assumed that the implication was that she thought it likely in their line of business, and that it would come up presently.
One must wonder, then, why she answered the question as she did in the first place. It seems bad business if it's an unlikely hypothetical.
:idunno: Welcome to the Internet. I would be a lot more eager to defend her if she hadn't said something so awful in the first place. And it was awful. This seems an awfully fine hair to split to me.
It's a great thing to say, if your goal is to get national attention from the media circus that surrounds this issue. It's not such a great thing to say if you just want to run a pizza shop. I'm not sure she can plead innocence. Did she not see the camera?

Oh no! A gay couple would have to pick a different Pizza place that believes in their love to cater their wedding? That is a sissy definition of "harm."
People today have lost sight of what harm actually is.
Here is a great article I saw today:
Stop Pretending to Be Offended by Everything
As a wag has pointed out: What kind of gay couple would get pizza for their wedding?:rotfl:
Over $700K now.
Nifty little con. Bigoted grifters: And just in time for Easter. Whatta miracle.

I don't think it was the owner who set up the page, is there even any reason that this money would even get to them? I don't know what if any rules govern such a thing.

Maybe women's shelters and libraries should announce they wont cater same sex weddings

Amazing. I wonder what the people will do with it.
I believe this bill could have application outside denying homosexuals service but it's hard to believe that the immediate and primary reason for coming up with it was anything other than that.
lain:
Yup!
There was when I was a child. Almost every restaurant had a sign inside stating such.
Fool.

Agreed.
Artie is an idiot. The issue isn't intolerance; it's hypocrisy.
Pretty much.So the whole reason for the law is out the window now.
To do so would be showing support for homosexuality, which is a sin.

How would it be showing support? You've been hired to provide food, not endorse the event. Do you think bringing pizza to a an unmarried couple living together is showing support for their living arrangement?
Do you think Paul only made tents for Christians? Did Jesus only feed the righteous when He fed the 5000?
