A gay lifestyle involves someone having romantic dealings with people of the same sex. Some gays actiely participate in the gay lifestyle by getting themselves into relationships with people of the same sex, forcefedding their beliefs down everyone's throats, dancing around like fools at gay pride parades, and the like. These same people call people intolerant and bigots if they don't welcome their deviance with open arms.

Other gays either remain single or in the closet. These are gays who either reject or choose not to live the gay lifestyle.

Refusing to make people rainbow colored cupcakes is not a violation of basic respect. Enslaving people or refusing people food is a violation of basic respect.

Statements such as yours are part of the reason why I cannot respect gay rights activists. They take everything to the absolute extreme.

It's not like these people were coming in and showing the owner's daughters tapes of fellatio. Thinking that making a rainbow cupcake or two is going to turn your daughters into lesbians is extremely irrational thinking.
Who knows whether the daughters were present at that time or not? Obviously the baker thought the he would come in contact with his daughters at some point throughout the process. I don't know what this has to do with anything?

I would imagine this group asked for more than "a few" rainbow cupcakes. Again, a point you are consistently glazing over, is the fact that this group was using the rainbow colors to stand for a movement that the baker disagreed with.

I doubt a 6-year old wanting rainbow colored treats wants them to advance a radical agenda. They just want a colorful treat, nothing more.. nothing less.

It does not take oral sex filled pornography to corrupt the minds of young children. In this case, agenda laden sweets would have been enough to corrupt their minds.

Lastly, who said the baker was worried that his daughter would become lesbians? Here we go again with this activist overexaggeration.

Even if it were possible to convert people to homosexuality, I think it would take a little more than a rainbow in your visual field.
Read above. A 6-year old would not request rainbow colored cupcakes for the same reason this radical group did.

If a rainbow was just a rainbow in this case, the people would have their sweets.

I want to know how the baker found out they were gay in the first place? Shirts advertising their radical organization? Chanting when busting through the bakery doors? Extremely flamboyant, disturbing behavior? Inquiring minds would love to know.

There is no "gay lifestyle" or agenda......sorry to burst your bubble. Well there may be a gay lifestyle if you consider getting up in the morning, going to work, coming home eating dinner, going outside for a walk, playing board games with family, watching tv, and going to bed.

I am not afraid of gays, so I am not homophobic. I just think they can go about getting respect differently than they do.

Your post is off topic anyway. The topic at hand is people who demanded rainbow cupcakes to advance their agenda.

If that's your life and you don't spend your waking hours forcing people to accept your sexuality, then it's fine. You are not living the gay lifestyle.

Well, that's what 95% of gay people do. We lead simple lives, don't bother others, go to church, help out in the community, etc. Not very fair to label an entire group because of a few folks that go overboard?

What's most disturbing are comments like the ones above that stereotype all gays.

Wallow in your hatred, homophobes. History is not on your side. You've been losing this fight for decades, and you will continue to do so. This country always marches toward more freedom, liberty, and equality for all.

Actually that is a fair question, did the cookie shop refuse because the cupcakes were rainbow or was there another reason? 100% fair question.

All of the news stories say that the order was initially refused because the owner didn't think it was appropriate to make rainbow cupcakes because he was against the "gay lifestyle". He later changed his story and said that he didn't have enough colors to fill the order.

The City of Indianapolis is investigating it, but in the meantime, a local radio station has announced the "1st Annual Gay Cupcake Party".

It seems that the cookie shop small business owner didn't want to make those cupcakes.

It seems that it should be a non-issue and that they could just go elsewhere to have their cupcakes made but instead they want to destroy the man's business....

It's not that simple. If the bakery refused to serve them based on the fact that the order was from gay people, the bakery may have violated the law.

Imagine if a white-owned bakery refused to fill an order for a black student group, or if a conservative Christian owner refused an order for a Jewish group.
