        Maybe you can sue the cake shop for not selling you bacon too?

        Beliefs don't come into it, this is about businesses operating within the law.

        Those bakers have a right to choose who they service. The bible doesn't condone homosexuality at all.

        they weren't being abusive in anyway, or offensive. The bakers are actually the ones at fault.

        I disagree. I can't force my Christian beliefs on others and gays shouldn't force their beliefs on Christians.

        They were asked to bake a cake, which is their job. Refusing service based on sexuality is against the laws of the land.

        it goes against their belief and it was their shop not a gov owned entity. I still agree with their stance.

        Their "stance" was illegal. Religion has no place in business. It's a personal choice that shouldn't impact others.

        u might be right but if ur faith is as staunch as that, I wouldn't force them to go against it.

        It's a cake that's attracted to other cakes of the same gender.
