Indy Bakery Refuses to Sell Cupcakes Rainbow Cookies

[Eddie]

Would the case be different if the baker had been asked to make little cupcakes with swastikas on them? What about cupcakes with little religious or political slogans? What about cupcakes made to look like reproductive organs?

If it were an Islamic insignia, no, it wouldn't be any different. But that's another good example. If someone wanted Stars of David on their cupcakes and the proprietor supported the Palestinians, would the media provide the soapbox for the Jews to complain? I'm not holding my breath.

I don't think it'd matter because they don't sell cupcakes, they sell cookies.

What kind of sick birthday parties do you attend?

Lol

You beat me to it, of course Nazi's are hardly on the "cusp of acceptance" .

As long as they sell goods to the gay community there should not be a problem. If I was closer I'd buy something from them too just because they did not cave into the possibility that another protected class would be offended and whine, like they did, because the baker did not do what they wanted.

I think my biggest gripe is that this kind of BS only ever goes one way. You'll never see a news story about a heterosexual couple going apesh1t because a homosexual photographer refused to photograph their wedding because he felt that it would be promoting the inequality of the marriage situation in America. I doubt they'd even go to the media, but if they did, it would get nowhere.



And why do you think he should have to provide a more politically correct reason for his choice?

Didn't say he should. But owner #1 handled it correctly and professionally. #2 brought the issue up and made it an issue.

I used to love rainbows when they stood for Gods promise not to flood the Earth again. How did they get corrupted to stand for something else?

Ah, but you did. By implying that only one way of handling this is correct.

Since when is making a decision based on one's principles incorrect and unprofessional?

It IS an issue apparently, and I'm trying to figure out why you presume to sit as judge and jury in the appropriateness of their choices.

They went into a cookie store and demanded cupcakes?

They must have gotten something in their eyes and couldn't read the sign.

Perhaps fairy dust.

You guys do know the guy is anti-guns, right? No, I don't know that, but what if that was the case? Would you still rush downtown to purchase his product, since he's such the media defeater?

Exactly this. My personal opinion is he should be able to do business with whoever he wants. And not do business with who he wants.

But, OMG...if he told anyone they had to take their gun out of his store...there would be 10 threads calling for an OC protest and a boycott.

His business...his rules.

I was thinking something a bit more sticky.

Ewwww....

Coke, no Pepsi...oh, I mean

The cookies are good! I had chocolate chip, peanut butter, double chunky chocolate, and butter. to IndyMonkey for the range sweets! I will support the media for a idiotic story anytime I can get my sweet tooth satisfied. I'll bring something next time, since you don't eat cookies.

 

[BBSparkle]

That made me laugh so hard.

Go to a place called Just Cookies.
Order cupcakes.

"Look around, we don't have cupcakes," said owner Lilly Stockton.

 

[gage]

This^ I personally am now interested in buying their cookies when I never was before. I like people who put their principles ahead of the almighty dollar.

I don't even like cookies but thinking of any excuse to buy them for others now

 

[Andy219]

Come on everybody "Taste the rainbow". Oh, wait, that's skittles, nevermind; carry on.

Makes perfect sense to me. What better way to laugh at God?
