We had a whole thread on what a horrible show GoT is, yet it has many fans here. I have most of them blocked, I wonder why. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | What is the forum's take on the gay wedding cake case before the Supreme Court? Here is an article about it from the NYT: Justices Sharply Divided in Gay Rights Case. As much as I tend to favor gay rights, in general, I see this more as a civil rights case. While I would personally have no problem making the cake, I don't think someone should be forced to make a cake with a message they disagree with. I think the baker should have been forced to go as far as he would with another client. Perhaps to a point of putting a bride and groom on the top, selling an extra groom figure, and letting the couple replace the bride with the extra groom themselves. I do not know if he made any effort at such a compromise. Someone with a public-facing business should not be allowed to discriminate who they will do business with but can exercise their own choice as to what they sell. Just my two cents. I welcome other arguments as I'm not 100% on this position. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

If I'm baking cakes for money, I'll bake one for the pope or for a satanist, their money is all good. In fact, I would trust a satanist any day over the pope. A satanist doesn't usually have a hidden agenda, and the pope always has one. Always. Plus, they're liars and the master of the cover up, they're expert 'sweep it under the rug' addicts... If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Is there any topic that doesn't quickly go off the rails into an anti-Catholic rant? How about this one, who do you predict will win the next Super Bowl? Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I bet Bob doesn't think it will be the Saints. It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures. ( |

Its a slippery slope to allow discrimination due to religion because religion is in the eye of the beholder. Anybody can discriminate and claim religion. besides its just a cake.

If a Muslim came into your shop and wanted a cake celebrating 9/11 with the planes crashed into the twin towers, body parts scattered around the cake, and pro ISIS messages on it, would you be okay making that for them? I really don't know that would be different than making a cake with other messages or representations that you don't personally agree with. No people, I am not equating gay marriage to terrorists. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |
