this is precisely it. but Virgil seems to think not telling them that you are "not going to make a queerbo wedding cake" is somehow lying. in my world, it is called BEING DIPLOMATIC. And this is where I am going to call a lot of you hypocrites. If I am reading these posts correctly, the fact that they discriminated is ok but the fact that they were stupid enough to tell them why they deserve to be in trouble. So honesty is bad? No, discrimination is bad. Their religion may not call it discrimination, but the law does. Like it or not, there it is. |

No, discrimination is bad. Their religion may not call it discrimination, but the law does. Like it or not, there it is. I'm not disagreeing that the law does. The fact that I disgree with the law doesn't mean it isn't the law. But I am reading some of these posts in this thread and seeing "they should have been smart in their discrimination".....so discriminating but concealing it is ok?? Don't get me wrong, I think the bakers did nothing wrong (I disagree with the law) ....but I M cracking up over the fact that the people claimi g the bakery should face consequences should have just lied. To me that is saying discrimination is ok but be smart about it |

ROFL! Another one! sesfw, I loves ya!  Now ... break the name of the lake down into two syllables. Pronounce the first one to yourself and consider female anatomy. Then, pronounce the second one and think of a baby who needs to go to the potty.  To sixth graders, I imagine that's quite giggle-worthy.  |

No it's not but I'm not naive enough to believe it doesn't happen. I have no proof I've ever had it held against me I'm a woman, married or a mom but probably at some point it's happened. Employers don't tell me why they didn't hire me because they could face litigation.
I have people ignore me in stores all the time, their reasons can be numerous and probably some I disagree and if voiced out loud would be violating something or other but since I can't read their minds I have no clue. I'm not the thought police.
I have no problems with their beliefs about gay marriage and I have no problem with them not being comfortable making a wedding cake. They are free to believe whatever they want to believe. I disagree but it's not my life.
But that's PERSONAL, not business. Don't mix the two because this is exactly what happens.
I also think businesses have the right to refuse service. Doesn't make why you're doing it okay with me but it their business not mine. If they want to refuse service that's their call but give a business reason for the refusal, not a personal one.

So in reality....based on ProBoards....it's truly a PG system. According to the CEO of ProBoards, all ProBoards' forums are to err to the conservative side when assessing PG-13. Not doing so and having ProBoards find the content to be objectionable can result in losing the board. That's been explained several times before. |
