What negative publicity? The couple got tons of offers to make their cake. They got married.
The only negative publicity was on the bakery.
The bakery has a lot of folks supportive of their religious convictions in this matter. You are evidently quite pleased and happy to have been able to kick their teeth in and “teach them a lesson”. Not a good reflection on the part of the homosexual.
Wholesale vs retail in no way whatsoever distinguishes a contract for services from a contract for goods. It's just a different type of transaction for the same goods. By bringing that up, you're only helping my argument.
You are the one that could not see the difference. If I make it and sell it to you, that is wholesale. Now if you sell that same product I made and sold to you, you retailed it.
I bet you still don't get it.
Typical employee, trying to run a business. They always fail.
I don't tax labor. That is against the law here. Now selling an installed product on the retail level, it must be taxed.
The difference is you resold my product, that I charged you no sales tax.
My "homosexual themed" wedding cake is one I liked from a wedding magazine.
Chocolate cake, raspberry filling, white fondant, sugar flowers, and off-white piping detail. I don't remember seeing a note that any of that was a "homosexual theme". In fact it seems quite common in wedding cakes.
It is very similar to this one.
So please tell me about this homosexual theme you see in this cake.
Gorgeous cake. Congratulations on your marriage, and may it bring you a lifetime of joy.
They were arrested for the sit in, not trying to get a marriage license. They broke the law, and are being punished for it. I'm pretty sure that was the desired outcome of the sit in.
I wouldn't do this as I have other responsibilities, and going to jail would not be an option. I do go to peaceful demonstrations, and do letter writing campaigns. But to each their own. The knew the risk, probably anticipated the outcome, and did it anyways. They will probably be fined at the very least.
There was a gay couple, married in another state, that demanded Texas divorce them and sued.
Texas laws don't recognize same sex marriages so Texas cannot grant the divorce.
They don't want to abide by Texas laws.
They can't force Texas to recognize their marriage, but they can push to have the laws changed.
The baker broke the law. He didn't try to get the law changed, or take it to court and get it overturned, or even try to get the law up for repeal. He simply decided he didn't like it, and was not going to follow it.

Still never got the cake.
The lesson is the same for ANYONE that is breaking the law, any law. Do so and you will be fined, or jailed depending on the law.

I get it much better than you do. Why are you even bringing up wholesale v retail? The distinction is irrelevant. Both wholesale sales and retail sales are transactions in GOODS, not services - the fact that it can be distinguished into wholesale vs. retail MEANS it deals with goods rather than services. Again, all you're doing is supporting my argument and tearing down yours.

If that is the case I am thinking of, it will be heard by the Texas Supreme Court.
That is one way to challenge a law, which is what should be done when one disagrees with the law.
I believe the owners of the bakery should challenge the law if they disagree with it. But, until then, they have to follow it or face the consequences.
