Judge Orders Bakery to Serve Gay Couple

[Piper Maru]

You really wanna use Harvey in your argument?

What do Christians do when a member of their family comes out the closet?

They call the exorcist.

 

[ThePhantasm]

I don't understand how a judge can order this. Don't bakeries usually serve bread and cakes? What the judge is demanding is just bizarre and barbaric.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Well, it's not like he's ordering the baker to gay marry someone.

Now that would be a headline...

 

[Pink Ranger]

That's ridiculous, Thunder, bakers can't perform marriages. Only butchers and benihana chefs can perform that sacred ceremony.

Don't forget Captains.

And Stan Lee.

The problem with Stan Lee officiating your marriage is that any children you have become property of Disney.

Pffft, as if they aren't already!

is there a law are whatever that allows patrons not to serve clients who ask for specific things? like if they wanted nazi symbols on their cake? i imagine tattoo artists run into this issue

 

[Piper Maru]

I wonder how they make holes in donuts?!

 

[Pink Ranger]

Maybe, it is the hole that is there first, and the donut is made around it?

#mindblown

 

[DarkSentinel]

Which came first, the donut or the hole?

It varies by state. It also depends whether or not the person you are refusing is in a "protected class". For example, gay people, and men wearing dresses are considered a protected class in California.

You rationale for refusal of service is a big deal as well. It's rather arbitrary.

They're called transexual, bro.

No, those would be transvestites. Transexuals are covered under gay, I believe.

No, not really.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Check the laws. Transexuals and transvestites are considered separate, but protected classes in California.

Transexuals (if they started out male) being recognized legally as female, while transvestites are just men... wearing female clothes.

I was referring to "Transexuals are covered under gay, I believe." Yeah, not really. It's a little more complicated than that.

Barbaric?? Really??

I like copying and pasting as much as the next guy but this has to stop.

Liar! You used cut.

 

[Piper Maru]

This is just barbaric. We as a species have come so far and yet...

Thank you.
