I challenge the claim that gay marriage should not be allowed. Would you blame "God" or some unverifiable/false claim about homosexuals for this view? Because the bible doesn't say you shouldn't allow gays to get married (In fact, considering the whole "free will" concept, he seems to be about letting "sinners" go ahead and "sin" more than anything else). He only says it's wrong. But if you would blame it on him, where is your opposition to giving all the other "sinners" the same rights as you enjoy? Personal prejudice revealed.
Or maybe you don't blame it on "God". Maybe you think it would harm society to let gays marry or adopt. But the evidence contradicts that kind of thinking as well. Here is evidence that might suggest gays are just as good (better, actually) at making a marriage work than heterosexuals:
"Generally speaking. Who is speaking anyway? " May even fare better"----from a general study done by who? People with an agenda to prove it? We are expected to accept silly studies done by silly people being paid for it in where---universities, that get money to do the study? OOOKKKAAAYYYYYY"
All very interesting information, but it has absolutely nothing to do with gay marriages... as I'm sure plenty of gay couples use "traditional" designs, which look no different from any other wedding cakes. Does this particular bakery only make stock cakes, and refuse ALL customers who request a unique design? For that matter, do you think any couples (gay or straight) DON'T come up with their own?? I've been a bridesmaid/MOH four times now, and every one of these couples had a unique/custom cake. So again, how is this specific to gay vs straight weddings?
You have it backwards ...its a specialty shop. No cake would be the same. These cakes are ornaments. He does not do cakes for non traditional weddings and has no interest. No one can force another to produce an inspired unique wholly artistic item for the sole purpose of enhancing a single setting. Can't force an interior decorator or painter to do your portrait. Can't force an independent photographer for the ceremony.Can't force a specific Church for the ceremony. If it was a local grocer that just belted them out on assembly I can see the argument...but the the shop is specific ...its called .."Masterpiece Cake Shop" its a done deal except for the squawking...He has more argument as well.

Would any just married man and women levy a law suite in efforts to destroy a family business right after getting married......for not making them a cake ?
More evidence showing that a gay couple cannot be anything but a destructive menace to society. Threatening even more unemployment, effecting tax dollars in litigation, wasting the valuable time of the people, for a cake.
Pretty interesting stretch.
I'd probably say that they're creating more jobs and giving someone the opportunity to start a new cake making business that doesn't discriminate.
I can boycott anyone I choose, for any reason I choose.
I haven't used Exxon petrol since the Valdez.
It seems that you have a problem with the free market and choose to blame others (that you apparently dislike or hate) for a free market issue.
Wow...these people hate anything that doesn't accept their lifestyle...amazing.
"Homosexual hate on the rampage'? LOL!
What a drama queen!
And I'm not referring to the gay couple.
