If that bakery had refused to put crosses on cupcakes....I think we'd be hearing a different story from lots of people. (It's ok to discriminate, as long as you don't do it against ME)
Let's say there was a porno convention in town and the bakery had refused to bake items with the letters XXX in frosting for them. Would there be any issue with this? Would the mayor step in and demand they do it? Would it make headlines? Welcome to the United States Of Double Standards.

You wouldn't have heard a thing if this had been the case. These days anything related to religion is a non-issue, at least that's how mainscream media spins it. The GZM- non-issue except to right wingnuts. As soon as it becomes a gay issue the left loads the cannons and blows it out of proportion.
I'm pretty sure any restaraunt or food service has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. But of course a pro-gay rant is never complete without a swipe at religion. Nice work on being typical in your arguments.

How am I supposed to feel when I get turned down for service? Complimented?
Would you feel accepted, or even tolerated, if you were denied service based on your race or religion or ethnicity? How is that being tolerant? It's not letting other people live, it's interfering. That's not tolerance.
When you turn someone away at the door, that's the message you're sending. That you hate them so much you can't even tolerate them. So don't be surprised when people take it that way.
There were not turned away for being gay. They were turned away because they asked the bakery to make something that it did not want to make.
Why does a bakery have to be tolerant toward everyone's desires? It doesn't. It is a privately run business and as such has the right to decide what it will and will not do.
These people weren't turned away at the door. The came inside, requested a product, somehow told the baker what it was for, and were denied.
Wow when you alienate a whole group you cut yourself off from all that is good as well. When is it bad to teach kids tolerance? When do we teach kids to stand for what is right?. I guess there are those that dress their kids up in bed sheets and they too have the right to create an ignorant member of society. ... Did the baker ever consider his child may be gay and what message he is telling them?

Why is acceptance of a deviant lifestyle labeled as "tolerance?"
Parents have the right to teach their children whatever they please. Accepting of gays isn't the same as accepting people of different religions or races. Gays are force feeding everyone their lifestyles: swinging around like fools at gay pride prides wearing next to nothing, hitting on people of the same sex, making it known to everyone and everything in the street that they're homosexual. Since when have people of a different race or religion tried to force acceptance like that? Never.
If gays want respect, they need to be respectable. In my eyes, they are not.
Meh, cupcakes are pretty gay anyway. If you're a heterosexual man and you eat one in public, you are FAB-U-LOUS.
I will try to remember what you say the next time I get the urge to eat a cupcake in public.
