When did anyone ever have a cake refused to be baked for them just because they were straight?

The only whining I see is in this thread.

Boycotting is not throwing a fit, and even it is, it's still legal to throw a fit. It's their right. Like I said, what do you care where people take their business.

Oh, yes they do!!!

You may not have heard about the 'straight' couple in Pennsylvania who made a big sensation about a bakery not making a birthday cake with their son's name on it...poor kid's name was Hitler.

Why would a smart business owner throw business to the competition? That is moronic.

Taking your business to another business is not whining, crying about it is whining.

Doesn't matter if it hasn't happened if it did happen they don't throw a damn drama queen parade over it.

Absolutely... and I'm sure if the couple knew of the business owner's beliefs, they would have chosen to go elsewhere.

Fortunately in this society, discrimination of that sort is illegal and deserves court-imposed penalties.

Wow...these people hate anything that doesn't accept their lifestyle...amazing.
Doubt it.

Though I am curious - did the owner have "this establishment reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at anytime" sign? If so, then as questionable as it may be, the owner has every right to refuse service to individuals.

On that same token, the individuals have the right to boycott the place if they find themselves insulted and offended by the actions and rules the establishment takes.
