This Christian Family Refuses to bake a Gay Cake..Now they could go to Prison!!

[Fanatical Meat]

I'm not European however its trolling to ask someone to cook something for you when they dislike/disapprove of you. The simple answer is to prepare the cake in a real poor manner. Its also bad for a business owner to refuse someone service. Even the Pope is telling Catholics to lighten up on the gay fear.
There are so many appropriate ways of dealing with this I'm surprised we all get sucked into the drama.

Just bake the damn cake and quit whining about your somewhat convenient "deeply held religious beliefs".

Rosa Parks should have just sat in the back of the bus and quit whining about racial discrimination :whiste:

Its a private business they should be able to do what they want.

Shouldn't have taken the deposit in the first place though.

Agree and agree.

You have no clue....

I have asked the Flying Spaghetti Monster for guidance on your assertion. He sent Cthulhu and Thor to appear to me in a lava lamp. They said that I do indeed have a clue, that Jesus himself was gay as proven by his hanging around exclusively with other single men and that god would want these cake fucktards sent to jail because he was on vacation the night they claimed to have talked to him.

Bert and Ernie are not gay

Perhaps, but I understand they are pansexual perverts!

They're British; they should be in jail anyway.

I do like Prof E had to.

He seems a little more tolerant.

they should not have to bake the cake......they own their business and they should not be made to go against their religious beliefs!!

Hmm, not sure about UK's public accommodation business laws so I can only speculate that they're similar to the US; the UK has been dealing with business and the public for much longer than the US.

Whatever the law(s), most likely the shop will have to shut down due to the bad publicity from this decision.

I guess then the owners will have to turn to G-d for financial support. He'll probably shower them with money because of their "deeply held religious beliefs".

The bus was a government service.

If they don't want to do it, who cares.

for a minute there i thought this was in america.would sound about right,the crowd that preach's their tolerance attacking another religious group

This was in America:

While I agree this was discrimination, I wholeheartedly believe a lawsuit is not necessary, especially where there are more than plenty of bakers around willing to fulfil said request. No one was truly hurt (emotionally doesn't count) and was a small incident blown up for attention.

By extension then, I guess you'd say that the civil rights era sit-in's at Southern diners that refused to serve blacks were unwarranted as long as there were other restaurants where blacks could eat. And no reason to complain about job discrimination either as long as there's a minimum wage job out there to pick cotton? No. And emotional hurt does count.

they should not have to bake the cake......they own their business and they should not be made to go against their religious beliefs!!

No matter what those religious beliefs happen to be? Great... You get to do whatever you claim your god tells you.

What could possibly go wrong?

The signs need to be updated

"We reserve the right to refuse service

... so long as it doesn't hurt anyone's feelings"
