Im always touched when people of faith send their love and compassion my way
These people these Christians What are they so afraid of and why are they so very hateful?
This picture of the cake and all the other pictures and blogs and outrage since Governor Jan Brewer vetoed that hateful bill in Arizona isnt about freedom of religion but you know that, right?
Its about what its always about. Ignorance.
Theres more to it, but ignorance seems to tick all the boxes for me when it comes to such displays of hate and discrimination.
I also received a link to a website which I was informed could help me, and in the meantime they would pray for me and my soul. Well, thank you very much but I dont believe its my soul thats in need of prayer.
The website they recommended I visit http://www.defendthefamily.com/rtr/ is nothing, if not entertaining. I believe every LGBTQ person should at least go and look at it so you can see exactly what and who it is who would bake a cake that looks like the picture above.
When the introduction has this for a title, Why the Homosexual Agenda Should Concern Every Christian, you know youre in for some entertaining reading.

(14,449 posts)I have a gay marriage, I would want to know the bakery that would screw with my cake. It is going to happen. I am afraid that they are going to take orders, either make it awful in some way or say, "Oops sorry was not able to make it in time" Of course they will return the money. It is going to happen. I almost want to know which bakeries don't want us.
I'm pretty sure most bakers are business folk who will gladly take the money of anyone who wants a cake. And those who do discriminate should post a sign saying who they don't want to do business with, so everyone who detests discrimination can avoid doing business with them.

(65,616 posts)It is sad that there are REAL flesh and blood people out there that put Landover Baptist to shame! I always asks these folks what did Jesus say about homosexuality? If they start to mumble, I ask them IF they believe Jesus is their Lord and Savior.
OF COURSE, they draw a blank since Jesus says NOTHING about the topic! Usually shuts them up.

What does the GOP want? Ignorance. No schooling (except theirs), no medical care, no care for women or children (AFTER they're born, before, oh yeah.......)
Ignorance is the defeat of the human race.

I am also inundated with hate email and promises of prayers for me. The hate is incredible. I suppose that ignorance is a nice way of saying what their problem is. I would never have been as gracious.
To be honest, I cannot imagine why anyone would go to a business that does not want their money....but I do understand the desire not to be discriminated against. If I were gay and I were getting married, the last people I would want baking my cake were people who were anti-gay marriage.

(80 posts)Actually believe that by silencing any opposition to their hateful teachings, that some how, some way, some day, that they will control the world? They remind me of what the great American George Carlin had to say about people with blue eyes........"You best watch out for when those blue eyed butchers sail out of the north. If they can't steal it, then they will burn it. And if they can't burn it, then they will f*ck it." Something to that effect.
I cannot imagine living in a society where everyone looks the same, talks the same, thinks the same, acts the same, and even "believes" the same. That sounds to me like what the mythical "hell" would be like. Wouldn't it be cosmic justice if those hateful bastards actually did all wind up in one place after they die. And have to look at, listen to, and think about, each other 24/7? What a wonderful thought..........

Curmudgeoness
(18,219 posts)But I still would never go to that bakery. I would not go to a bakery that was openly bigoted against anyone, and I am not gay. But they would not get my money. I realize this is about stopping the discrimination, and I want that too....but I would not give them my money.
Mr.Bill
(24,289 posts)I'm sure those guys at the lunch counter didn't really want to give their money to that drug store, either. It's all about opening doors for others.

(52,162 posts)at a counter, it was the state which banned them from doing so. I am sure some were racists who didn't want to serve blacks but others were likely just obeying the law. In this case, these people are for sure bigots.

The Love is Love Project:
Help us bring "More Love to More People" as we create a fine art photo book featuring real LGBT couples and families across America.
We are so thrilled to share with you the latest from the project!
in 2014 will take the Love is Love project on the road out of Alaska! We'll be visiting states like Utah, Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.
If we reach our goal we will photograph lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender couples in the Midwest in May 2014, and if we reach our secondary goal we will photograph the couples both in the Midwest in May 2014 and South in November 2014
