A bakery in Indianapolis is under fire for refusing to make rainbow cupcakes in honor of "coming out" day. Who cares? When did it become anyones business what happens in a personal business? If I owned a bakery, I wouldn't make rainbow cupcakes for "coming out" day. I also wouldn't make cupcakes celebrating the KKK or Nazi extremism. I wouldn't make cupcakes featuring pornography and I wouldn't make cupcakes for a pro-abortion group. But you know what...some bakery would. There are plenty of bakeries around towns like Indianapolis who would love to recognize such events and that's where the money should be spent. Instead of bullying and pressuring this one bakery into lowering their moral standards, these people should check with other bakeries that have no problems with rainbow cupcakes.
It's a free market people. When did it become okay for mayor and city officials to be able to look into the practices of cupcake decorators? When did such a small group of people (like the gays) become so vocal, that we forget they're a tiny, tiny part of the population and we bow down to all of their demands? When did everything have to become a big political battle? If you need an event to declare yourself gay and cupcakes are a priority to you, find a bakery that feels the same way. Leave these poor people alone!
OR bake your own dang rainbow cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that a bakery cannot be forced to make something that they are not equipped to make.
ReplyDeleteHowever, if rainbow cupcakes were requested for a little girl's birthday party, would there be a similar issue? The question here is not their ability to make their own cupcakes, but the act of discrimination against a certain group of people. It would be no different than if a baker refused to make a wedding cake for a black couple.
The baker might as well have just said "we don't serve your kind here".
Where do you find this stuff?! And how does it make the news. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happened to personal business owners 'reserving the right to refuse service to anyone'? While some may view that as discriminatory it is still their choice and they should not be bullied or forced to provide something that they quite obviously disagree with.

ReplyDeleteYou cannot compare a little girls birthday with a gay coming out day. You are comparing apples to watermelons. As an independent business owner we have the right to make personal decisions about how our business is ran. If you don't like our policies, then take your business down the street. I am not going to support something I feel is morally wrong.
Typcial bleeding heart liberal response, comparing apples and nonsense. In a free market societ I have the right to not support a cause I believe is Biblically wrong such as the gay lifestyle. The liberal then connects that to something totally irrelevant, a black couple. It is no sin to be black. Can't you people ever connect those dots?
