so apparently noone is entitled to exercise there own beliefs if gays are offended?

I never in my life had the desire to give my money to any business i felt discriminated against me or my race or didnt treat me with respect

but here we are again with gay people and these "gay cakes".

go to the gay cake store and spend your money there. very simple.

I agreed with most everyone who suppose the owner's decision. However, I do what to know if they refuse to serve blacks, will they still be the same type of support?

In case anyone cares to read it, he's the court order that was upheld:

The irony is...they are the ones who cry the most on CD.

I think the best solution is what the owner opted....no wedding cakes, period.

im black and it annoys me when everytime some gay issue happens someone wants to equate black with gay

black is your race, you are born black and there is no hiding it

gay has to do with sexual preference

gay people didnt experience the plight that blacks experienced

a gay person using the black card would be offensive to me if i was someone who got offended

Like i said in my previous post, i have no interest in patronizing an establishment if i felt i was being discriminated agsinst or not being respected.

So, to you, does that mean while it's wrong for a business to deny service to somebody because of his black skin, it's okay for the same business to deny service to somebody because he happens to be gay?

YES, absolutely! It is called "Freedom of Association".
The sign is prominently posted in many businesses: WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE!
Of course, the courts and the government have DESTROYED that right, so the sign is pretty much meaningless these days.
Again, whenever a RIGHT is given to ANY certain group of people, a similar RIGHT must be taken away from somebody else!
Some folks think that is the correct thing to do.
I don't.

No matter how it is phrased, the answer has to be YES! It is, of course, proper for a business man to deny service to ANYBODY for ANY reason!
It is called FREEDOM!

I totally agree with him!
This is what the homosexual militant bullies want. Do as we say or shut down. The homosexual militants threaten flooding social media with negative publicity should the baker urinate in the cake but why wait, just go ahead and do it now, that’s what they want to do anyway with anyone disagreeing and/or defying the homosexual agenda. They have absolutely no intentions whatsoever of ever eating food prepared under force and duress.
