Cakeshop Promises to Appeal Judge's Ruling in Favor of Transgender Woman Who Wanted a Birthday Cake

[634-5789]

Yep. The hateful homophobia is strong in this 'good Christian'.

Masterpiece Cakeshop, the Colorado bakery operated by a devout Christian and staffed by his family, on Wednesday promised to appeal an adverse ruling by a local judge in favor of a transgender attorney who requested a blue and pink birthday cake to celebrate her transition from male to female.

The blue exterior of the cake was supposed to represent what society saw at her birth, the attorney said; the pink interior was supposed to represent who she felt she was on the inside. Cakeshop owners refused to oblige with the request and ended up in the defendant’s chair on account.

The same cakeshop was previously sued by a different plaintiff for refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding. That case made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018.

1. The article clearly says they were targeted because of the...

previous case.

I don't like this baker and would never give him any business or support, but this is just mean and solves nothing.

If he loses business because he's a holy roller, too bad for him. But to batter him this way seems like an expensive cheap shot.

2. Also I don't think a business should be required to make a custom design.

A business should not be able to discriminate based on the customer. ie, refusing to sell a standard cake available to everyone because the customer is trans.

A business should be able to decline to make a custom design from anyone. If the business would refuse to make the custom design whether the customer was trans or not, that should be allowed.
