Pat Robertson tells anti-LGBT pizza shop owners to shut up: This is about ‘cake-bakers’

Pat Robertson warned that the backlash to Indiana’s anti-LGBT law signaled a renewed assault on Americans’ sexual practices and “deeply held Christian beliefs.”

The televangelist brought up during Thursday’s broadcast of the “700 Club” a pizza shop owner in the state who made national news when she told a TV reporter that she would not cater food at a same-sex wedding, reported Right Wing Watch.

“Pizzas? I think, you know, you might as well keep your mouth shut,” Robertson said. “I’m not sure I would serve pizza for a gay wedding. Most gays, if they’re having a wedding, don’t want pizzas – they want cake. It’s the cake makers that are having the problem.”

Robertson warned that if gay couples were permitted to serve Christian-baked cakes during their wedding reception, there’s no telling where they would stop.

3. So on a family program, he talks about 'anal sex, oral sex, bestiality ...'

Setting aside the inappropriate language, last I checked, straight men refer to themselves as beasts and animals, engage in anal sex, oral sex, and 'whatever it is' as Robertson continues.

Not sure in what respect he's referring to gay people on that measure...?

4. Hey Pat...if the Baker is divorced and remarried (Matthew 19:7-9) can he still refuse?

Also, should the Baker refuse to bake a cake for a hetero couple if they're serving shrimp during the reception?

Maybe he can backtrack a bit tomorrow, and guilt them into sending him a chunk.

It's not to be taken literally. Obviously it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.
