Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostIt has been clear all along that any person - gay, straight, or confused - can go into the cake shop and buy anything off the shelf. No discrimination. The problem comes when somebody puts themselves above the cake artist and decides their desires are more important than the cake artist's convictions.

But there have been cases where bakers have refused to provide cakes they would have provided to straight couples. Or generic cupcakes if used for a gay ceremony. Or pizza for a gay wedding. That is discrimination. By focussing on the cases where the design is the issue, and ignoring the cases where it is not, you are avoiding the problem.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostIn some cases, pizza is indeed an "off-the-shelf" item. Usually, it's made to order. In the case you cited, it apparently was a catering situation, not a sales situation.
After owners of Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Ind., said they won't outright deny service to gay couples in their restaurant, but would never cater a same-sex wedding, the shop has temporarily closed.

True. I was just suggesting it as a way to use the situation to preach the truth and the gospel. Make the best out of a bad situation. I would also have informed the clients that is what I was planning on doing so they could choose to hire a different catering service if they wished.
