I cant even wrap my head around this decision by Colorado Civil Rights Commission forcing a baker to make a gay wedding cake. |

That would be nice compared to what I could come up with lol......
I would definitely be asking at any wedding I attended, "soooooo, where did you say this cake came from again?" lol....."oh, ok, I'll just have some champagne." |

| I don't quite think it's right...but if you believe homosexuality isn't a choice, is it any different than desegregating the south? Those business owners has very deep rooted you could say religious beliefs about serving blacks as well. What would we be saying if he reused to make a cake for a black couple or an interracial couple?
Idk, I don't like it personally...but I also debated in a former life and automatically tend to see both sides. |

Location: Florida.. | I think the government should stay out of his family business but I also dont feel it to be that difficult to put 2 men on top a cake or 2 women.. I mean really??? just do it and move on... faith or not.. its not againist faith to put same gender on a dang cake....it isnt like they asked him to marry them or attend.. |

| So, why don't the gays just go to another baker who will make them a cake, and avoid the drama. Oh, yeah, I forgot, they're gay. |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | My thoughts are we as Americans should Not be forced into doing something that we do not believe in. To me no big deal if they are gay, white, black, Mexican I dont care what color, but to be force into doing something, now thats just not right this is the USA home of the free, we do what we feel is right.
Edit: cause I'm a nit wit sometimes and my brain was on over load and spelled gay as guy, sorry

Location: Texas, and loving it | Actually did you know that same sex weddings aren't legal in Colorado. So the state commissioners ruled that Jack violated state law by refusing to participate in an activity that's illegal under state law. Strange that you could be found guilty for refusing to do something that involved an illegal activity. |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | Geez... You know...I think that some folks are always looking for things to throw a fit about or sue over in order to further some social or political agenda. And the reason that continues is because it works.
There was a restaurant in the news a while back that refused service to children for dinner time. Adults only. It was a romantic quiet type of pricier place and they did not want the disruption/noice that can often come with kiddos. People with children threw a hissy fit. Well...it's the owner's choice in my view. If I disagree with their choice I can just spend my money elsewhere...and suggest to my friends that they do the same. There are other restaurants (or bakers in this case)...who would likely welcome them to be customers. But no...they have to make an example out of this business to force their belief system on someone else.
What's that Movie title? Let IT GO. Find another baker...there are likely plenty of them. And wouldn't you rather give your money to one that WANTS to do a nice job for you? I can't imagine this baker who is being forced to do this would exactly be putting out his/her best effort! |

Location: Oklahoma | There are two ways I would handle a situation in which someone refused me service because of my sexuality.
One: If they were straight jacka**** about it and were disrespectful, I would leave, and proceed to tell all my friends and their friends and so on and so on about their horrible customer treatment, and would never go there again.
Two: If they were polite about it (like it seems this man was, from reading the article), I would thank him for his time and politeness, and find another business that can meet my needs.
EVERYONE is allowed to have an opinion, and as long as that they exercise it in a way that DOES NOT HARM anyone else, the government has no business stepping in. If you don't support gay marriage, that's fine. I don't support your view, but I support your right to have it. If you own your own business and politely state that you don't want to make a cake supporting that, ok. No harm done. Now if you start telling them they are damned and going to he** and punch them in the face...I might have a problem with that! But that's not the case here, and I think the state way overstepped its boundaries.
This is a free world. If you don't like what a business stands for, don't contribute to them. If enough people feel that way, it'll hurt their business, and maybe they'll change their stance down the road. But that is their right. There are plenty of other business that will gladly, and happily, take your business.
I work for a business that, even though same sex is not legal in my state, does extend benefits to same sex couples who are married (in any state). If this was a huge deal to me, and the company I work for didn't offer this...guess what...I'd get a different job.
While I have never been turned away from a business for being gay, I would have no problems with someone respectfully declining my business because it conflicted with their religious views. |
