Or better yet, who would want to buy prepared food from a place where one isn't wanted. Then again, one wouldn't expect much common sense from a group of reprobate miscreants.

Really?

Is it all couples, straight or gay, that you think should bake their own wedding cakes?

Or, is it just gay couples?

My son got married three years ago and he and his fiance' didn't bake their own cakes. In your opinion, should they have?

I actually am glad to see this couple taking this step with the lawsuit. If nothing else, hopefully, it will spell things out very clearly as to what kind of discrimination is allowed - or not allowed - so other same sex couples won't have to be subjected to the kind of bigotry and humiliation that this particular couple experienced.

I'm hoping that Oregon will soon join the rest of the west coast and will make same sex marriage legal.

Have I mentioned lately how glad I am that I live in Washington?

Better yet, why can't we just execute homos like we use to in this country?

And definitely political discrimination.



Where they all went wrong, was if in fact that are documented as saying they refused because the gayness of the service requested.

I just out price the service so they go get another quote. But, in my line of work, gay people pay the best although very picky.
Bid them high
look them in the eye
and watch them buy!

Cash is not discriminatory!

I think you misunderstand, he is referring to GDP not necessarily city size. And in terms of economic health, Portland Oregon isn't too impressive. This is mainly due to aggressive taxation of businesses and other anti-business practices that much of the West coast is infamous for.

The nerve. The next thing you know apartment complexes might quit renting to gun owners. No liberal could support that, either.

Perhaps. But I doubt very seriously that most of those 18M sole proprietors were Obama voters. Obama made it quite clear in both of his campaigns that he was anti-business. And his first term track record proved it.

Indeed. It's comparing a 2nd Amendment right to a... well... nothing actually.

But I digressed by responding to a poster's off topic tangent. Back on topic...
