And to those who are calling this baker a bigot, I really think you should reconsider your tactic of name calling and perhaps look at yourselves. We are *all* bigots to some degree. If you don't think you are, then you aren't looking hard enough at yourself or you don't understand the definition of the word.


The difference is there are degrees of bigotry.

I dont believe gay or trans people deserve to live in this planet therefore I cant bake a cake for them is pretty high up there.


Pushing for the government to force an individual to do something that adheres to your opinion is a higher form of bigotry than the individual refusing to do the thing that was asked of him in the first place. The application of force makes it higher order.

No.


Yes it is. Using force is more aggressive. How can you disagree with that? Or do you just not understand the definition of bigotry?

And why do religious people get to force their beliefs on others then?


The application of the word "force" is being used incorrectly. Nobody forced this person to go into this bakery. On the other hand, this person is trying to force this bakery to comply with his demands.

I have no hatred toward and fully respect LGBT, but it's quite easy to see who's being a shithead in this situation. I hope the courts don't set a precedent that people can just go to businesses and demand them to make something they don't want to make.

Getting upset at a bakery for not making a transgender cake is like getting upset at a video game manufacturer for not making a video game featuring a transgender as the main character. In other words, it's hardly worth getting upset about.


What the fuck is a transgender cake? Is it a blue cake with a pink center? Or a cake shaped like a penis but that has ovary shaped bits inside?

Cake doesnt have a gender


Yes, language and stuff can be funny. Tons of people made the same comment during the original go around with the bakery refusing to serve a gay couple. "What's a gay wedding cake? It's just a cake!!!!" exclaimed thousands of people who thought they were being clever/witty.


So you have two cakes.

Theyre both chocolate and say congratulations!

One is for a Westboro Baptist church protester who burns pikachu dolls and protest soldier funerals. One is for a an accountant that happens to be trans.

How are both cake different?

True, but one doesn't just happen to be trans; they have their own issues and beliefs that led them to undergo radical medical procedures. All the while society is expected to accept both, as they should; however to not get in line with SJW/trans viewpoints is more taboo than falling inline with expressions of religious beliefs nowadays.

Bigotry isn't discrimination. Bigotry is "intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself". If your intolerance leads to you pushing to use force to make people adhere to your opinions, then your level of bigotry is higher.

And yes, it is discriminating. It's discrimination against this baker for choosing to be different.

My guess is that you and others don't like the application of these words being used this way because those are supposed to be your weapons. Well I say tough shit that's just the way life works.

Look, overall, I'd prefer to live in a society where people got along and did stuff for each other. The general attitude I see from people opposing this baker, the person taking him to court, the name-calling, etc....that's not the way to make progress. That's just being an asshole. I want my society to built on a solid foundation, not something that's held together by the threat of violence from the state.

I would have been consistent with my views. I would have supported the right for businesses to do what they want, and thus would be very vocal in my opposition to the Jim Crow laws that forced businesses to do things they didn't want to do. Thus, I would have been very supportive of the Civil Rights movement.

The cake bigot will do his thing.

If people want to teach him a lesson, break him with pressure. Have black people ask for happy Kwanzaa cakes. Happy wakanda day cakes with the face of tchallah. Happy eid mubarak cakes. A cake with a sombrero drawing saying happy 5 de Mayo, a cake saying happy Mexican Independence Day Pedro, etc . Happy visa day, Vishnu cakes, you name it.

Make this guys bakery the official intermarriage cake shop, where cakes that say happy marriage are requested and the picture of a black man and a white woman are to be inserted on the cake.

At some point he will start refusing to sell cakes to interracial couples, or minorities or foreign holiday cakes, and it will be beautiful. He will win all the court cases maybe simply because were in the MAGA era, but he will be sunk in so many lawsuits he will live pissed off lol

It could easily be said that transgender-ism is akin to homosexuality, which there are numerous biblical texts that speak against. Also one could easily argue that having a surgeon turn you into the opposite of how God created you is sinful.

Minor nitpick: For it to be considered discrimination, avoid worded cakes. They could easily say "I wouldn't write that for anyone", and win the case. It's when they refuse a cake they WOULD make for someone else that they are discriminating.

Actually, they don't. Federal laws say you have a right to refusal, but there are specific things you can't refuse for. State laws also have additional things you can't refuse for.

Actually yes they do. You can refuse to serve someone even if theyre in a protected group, but the refusal cant be arbitrary and you cant apply it to just one group of people.

To avoid being arbitrary, there must be a reason for refusing service and you must be consistent. As is the case in Colorado. They beat this case once and the same business will beat it again. Sorry that you can't accept this fact and will shake in rage upon them being cleared of any wrong doing.

If one feels that they are a cat and not a human, getting whiskers, pointy ears, a tail, stripes, slitted pupils, and pointy teeth grafted onto their body does NOT make them a cat. And on top of that they get pissed when folks address them as sir or madam instead of kitty kitty or puss post surgery.

Why do liberals feel the need to force their believes upon the baker?

This all started because someone tried to buy a cake from someone who makes cakes

Not the point. People call foul for the baker "forcing his beliefs" when that's exactly what these crazies are trying to do to him when they could easily go to the next cake shop and ignore the bigot.

The only thing they're trying to force him to do is comply with the law. They aren't trying to change his religious beliefs.

Is there only one cake shop in Colorado? Just go somewhere else, it's not hard.

Why should they have to?


Why should the baker have to make the cake? Who's preferences are higher order and why? Why is one person more important than another?

To me, they are equal:

"I want you to do this for me."
"I will not do this for you."

It's a stalemate.

And come on, we aren't living in a society where discrimination is running rampant. Businesses want money. But there are a select few exceptions, such as very small % of bakeries, who find themselves at odds with their views based on the type of customers they get and what their goods are used for.

The question is...why can't we just accept the difference in opinion and let a very small % of bakeries and other non-essential, rarely used service businesses do their thing?

Is it really so hard to live in a society where a gay or trans person can't purchase an unessential item or service that they're only going to purchase probably once in their entire life from one particular bakery in their city?

Why do people want bakers like this to have more money anyway? "I hate this man! He won't take my money!"...it's like...the baker is already making a sacrifice by declining revenue and exposing himself to judgment which can hurt further sales. Why should we punish him further when he's already making sacrifices?

These are questions that need to be answered in detail.

Why do liberals feel the need to force their believes upon the baker?

This, if he made them the cake and the whole time spewed his bigotry at them, there wouldn't be a problem, but when you run a business, you have to offer the service equally to everyone.

Because laws are in place saying so to protect people from discrimination.

Because the baker isn't getting harmed by having to make the cake, and has no real justification for harming the customers he refuses.

Maybe he shouldn't have stupid religious beliefs?

Like beliefs that fuel one getting surgery to become something they're really not?

And where is that happening?

Nice try, we both know damn well that it happens everyday, I also know where you're trying to go with this. If one feels that they are a cat and not a human, getting whiskers, pointy ears, a tail, stripes, slitted pupils, and pointy teeth grafted onto their body does NOT make them a cat. And on top of that they get pissed when folks address them as sir or madam instead of kitty kitty or puss post surgery.

Except nobody is doing that. They're getting surgeries so their body matches their actual gender. But keep trying, you're just showing your own ignorance and bigotry.

Where is the line between gender and species?

Oh you're born a man? It's ok you can be a Woman.

Oh you're born a human? It's ok you can be a Felis silvestris catus.

Are a lot of people having this mythical human to cat surgery? Where can I read up on the science of it? Got any journals?

This is legitimately the stupidest question I've ever seen posted on here.
