Go buy a cookbook and make your own cake, you bigot. I hope you choke on it.

Make the guy his fucking stupid cake. Put swastikas on it too. Then photograph his smiling mug holding up his awesome cake and send it around the internets. Freedom.

He also wanted an image of two men holding hands with an âXâ through them on the cake.

Marjorie Silva (pictured above), the owner of Azucar Bakery, said Jack asked her to write phrases like âGod hates gaysâ on a cake in March 2014, according to KUSA.
Of course, the man could have written the message himself, but for the fact that it exceeded his spelling capacities.

Itâs laughable how far off this shows they are from reality. Because this is obviously a setup to expose the hypocrisy of liberals and the âgay agenda.â But the problem isâŚthese arenât equivalents. If a gay couple asked a Christian baker to give them a cake covered with men sucking dongs and whatnot, itâd be their right to say no; since not all bakers make those sort of cakes. But all the gay couples want is a regular wedding cake that happens to be for couples of the same sex, and thereâs nothing particularly offensive about it. Theyâre not posting anti-straight messages or condemning anyone. They just want a fricking cake, like anyone else.
And this is the mistake they continue to make, as they think being âgayâ is entirely about sex, going so far as to believe that if someone denies their sexual preferences by marrying someone of the opposite sex, it means theyâre not gay. Because to them, being âgayâ is only a sex thing. And gay people donât have loving relationships and arenât really âgayâ unless theyâre having sex or flaunting their gayness in public. And if you teach kids about homosexuality, it means youâre teaching them about gay sex, because again, thatâs all being âgayâ means to them.
But if theyâd finally get their minds out of the gutter, theyâd realize that gay people are just like everyone else and arenât trying to force anything down anyoneâs throats (unless thatâs what theyâre into, of course). They just want to live their lives. But I suspect that this is the real reason the vast majority of these people are so offended by gays. Because they themselves are in denial about who they are, and want to pretend that theyâre really straight, as long as they donât indulge their desires and condemn anyone who does. Because the last thing people living in denial want to see is someone else whoâs enjoying life.

Iâm reminded of these folks. The baker also had the sense to say no.

Do I have this correct:
According to the fundie nutjobs, if a private company doesnât want to make wedding cakes for gay marriages, they should have that right. Because religion.
If a private company doesnât want to make âantigayâ cakes, they shouldnât have that right. Because religion.
Heads I win, tails I win?

No, I donât think thatâs what theyâre doing. Heâs just trying to expose that sort of hypocrisy on our side, by showing that we can force Christian bakers to make cakes that offend them, but Christians donât have the same right to buy offensive cakes. And heâd be rightâŚif people were forcing them to make truly offensive cakes. But all gay couples want is the same sort of cake straight couples get, and thereâs nothing actually offensive about it. But what this guy was demanding was truly an offensive cake, which they have the right to deny.
So if a gay couple wanted a cake covered in weiners, thatâd be offensive and can be denied. And if this guy just wanted a bible-shaped cake with bible verses on it, they shouldnât deny it to him. And by contrasting a normal gay wedding cake with the truly offensive cake he wanted, all he did was show how wrong his side was. Because thereâs nothing inherently offensive about a wedding cake just because itâs for a same sex couple. So by trying to expose our hypocrisy, all he did was show how wrong he was.

Let me explain it in a way that even the dimmest wingnut can understand.
If a kosher deli refuses to serve me because Iâm not Jewish, thatâs discrimination.
If a kosher deli refuses to serve me pork, thatâs just because they donât have pork on the menu.
See the difference?

And Dr. âChapsâ wants to do just that!
Personally, Iâd let the complaint get investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated and investigated etc.

This was my favorite part: â[Klingenschmitt] told FOX31 Denver that he supports Silvaâs right to ânot print the Bible on her cakes.ââ His point is that writing âGod hates gaysâ is printing the Bible. Yup thatâs pretty much all of it, right?

This fits right in with what I said about Huckabeeâs comment regarding the slew of cases coming forth to ask for polygamy, marriage to pets, etc.: itâll be the anti-gay Christian bigots who sue for those things just to âproveâ themselves and Huckabee right. Same here. This dude went to the bakery for no other reason than to try to invent a lawsuit as an attempted âgotchaâ and reversal of the stories about wedding planners and bakeries refusing to serve gay couples. Itâs a total analogy fail, but whateverâŚnow Faux and the religio-fascists have something to scream about. Bill-O is probably warming up a Christian persecution rant as we speak.

But he totally wanted this awesome cake for his weekly all white male gathering where they get together and talk about the things that they have in common. Like sports, and mowing the lawn shirtless, and getting drunk together. Nothing gay about that at all.
