It is not a public-owned bakery.

That is why the owner's have the right to serve whomever they wish and to refuse to make gay cupcakes or cupcakes promoting any form of immorality.

(Of course, that is not to say that they cannot be forced by statists to bend to the will of the homosexuals and the state. It simply means that their rights have been violated using unconstitutional legislation. Government does not grant rights; you have those because you are human.)

They have a right to serve who they wish.
People in that town also have a right to BOYCOTT if they wish.

You beat me to it! I live in Indy and thought this would be a good thread, if only to show what is going on in this prodominately 'red' state. While the 'red' is made up mostly of the cities outside Indy, Indy votes are usually liberal however I am noticing a change in the last few years.

Living here, I was outraged when I heard this story. What is more outrageous is that it just barely made a blip on the news. A lot of busybodies on my FB post and comment on local news, not this one. While a business has a right to refuse a customer, it sure doesn't make it right. It's just.....cupcakes!

I, for one, will be boycotting. They need to change the name from Just Cookies to Just Idiots.

A gay cupcake?

How can a cupcake be gay? A cupcake is a cupcake.

Everybody eats them, gays and hetros alike. Really strange.



vvv

Exactly how can a cupcake be gay? It's a cupcake with multi-colored frosting. What's the big deal? Seriously, WTF is happening to this country?

"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"

This was a common and acepted statement. What happened?

This is a private business, they are allowed to decide who they serve and what they sell.


What we see hear is an oppressive over reaching, interfering government.

I agree.. Im a business owner and I can and will refuse any job I
dont want to do..

or I just charge double.. then its a win/win

This is just another in an ever increasing list of ridiculous events driven by small minded idiots. Another indication to of the warped sense of reality displayed by the gay community.

I, like many other people, honestly don't give a hoot about someones sexual preferences. What two consenting adults do in private is their business. What I do abject to though is this whole "Gay Pride" BS. So your gay, good for you, enjoy it... but I really don't care one jot and don't want to see you all parading down the high street in some gaudy rubber clad freak show!

All we hear from whiny little idiots is that they want to be accepted. Well stop acting like whiny little prima-donnas and get on with living your own life, but DO NOT keep trying to force your way of life on other people.
That's another thing I object to, the whole "lifestyle" thing. It's a sexual preference for crying out loud! Can someone please explain to me why being gay means you cannot act like others in society?

Sheesh! The world is going to hell in a handbasket... or handbag, depending on ones sexual preference / lifestyle choice!

Silly Girlfriends, they should have ordered the "Flag of Cusco and Machu Picchu" cupcakes instead! LOL

Afterall, one Rainbow Flag is as good as another!

This is a media piece at best, in today's World anyone that wants to refuse money must not need it, gay money is green just like any other money. Besides, cupcakes, come-on now! There are tons of bakeries that just love turning out cupcakes, so just go to another "dealer". The cupcake dealer! LOL

Stupid Media!

Not me anymore.......stupid diet!

A cupcake sounds real good. Even a gay one, if there is such a thing.

It's up to them who they serve or not.

I have no problem with this.

Here's my two view points on this:

First, I am a firm believer in business serving who they wish. Don't like gays? Fine don't sell them "gay" cupcakes. Don't like blacks? Don't sell the black and white cookies etc etc. Right or wrong, as a business owner that is their prerogative.

That leads to my second view point, I find it dumb. I'm not out to change their view on gays, because it's obvious they are way over the edge. It's dumb because, like others have said, it's the same money.

A gay guy gives me the same 5 dollar bill as a straight guy.

If I lived in Indy, I'd boycott and let everyone know about it.

I always find the outrage from these stories silly...you always have two options: continue to patronize the business, or find a new bakery. Let all the bigots go there. They can hang out and have straight cupcakes all day long.

and an off topic note: I agree with the poster who spoke about the "lifestyle" issue. The way it is treated is counter intuitive.

and in other news...woman in starbucks asked to leave for having no shoes and man at target asked to leave for not having shirt. aclu currently seeking identities of victims for potential lawsuit. next...
