Knowing that a bakery makes good cakes because you've shopped there before doesn't mean you know anything about the religion of the owners.

One of the brides mothers got her wedding cake there. Why wouldn't she order a cake from a place that she had personal experience with?

Their web site even says that they make cakes for every occasion. Did they have a poster up that said every occasion except same sex weddings?

Dragging everyone to court and wishing bad on them is not doing the LGBT movement much good in winning acceptance.

Just go somewhere else and badmouth them in your community.
Local business depends on local dollars.
Getting the ACLU involved and MSM stories shouldn't be the way to "evolve".

And it's not like Black civil rights movement.
No Black could sit in the front of any bus.
They didn't have choices.

Decent people would simply move on. Actually, decent people wouldn't have done what they did in the first place. Like others said, they went from Portland to a little-known bakery in a different town. I'm pretty sure they had bile in their guts when they did that. It wasn't because the little bakery was recommended by legions of friends. They went there with one intent, and it wasn't a wedding cake.
People really need to look at a map of the Portland area: Gresham is a suburb of Portland. It is very possible this couple lived quite near that particular bakery while still having a Portland address.

Also, Gresham is very close to the I-205/Glenn Jackson Bridge crossing the Columbia River, and since they were getting married in Washington, that bakery may have been the most convenient one to the bridge - kind of a last stop perhaps - before entering Washington and the Vancouver/Clark County area, where same sex couples can marry.

Sheesh. Look at a map before spewing crap which you obviously know nothing about.

And you wonder why we laugh at you.

Have you not seen the multiple crosses clearly hanging on the walls of the shop and their being closed on Sundays?

Their home web page states “We here at Sweet Cakes strongly believe that when a man and woman come together to be joined as one, it is truly one of the most special days of their lives, we feel truly honored when we are chosen to do the cake for your special day.”

Plus the statement from John 3:16. The lesbians were aware of this and deliberately targeted this bakery.

Also on the home page "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16

This, being closed Sundays and the crosses hanging on the wall indicate strong religious conviction.

Have I mentioned lately how proud I am that I live in a state where gays can legally marry the person of their choice?

I hope I live to see the day it is legal in all fifty of the states.

Once you get the laws changed then you will use them to purge intolerance from the land.
You will not tolerate intolerance right ?

"Why are gays and lesbians so intolerant of my hatred for them!"

Oddly enough, they still baked cakes for the Pagan Solstice and divorce parties.
So much for their religous beliefs and the crosses on their walls.
