Perhaps Love Bakes a Cake?

I found this:

 

 

 

A follow-up to the story of the New Mexico photographer who lost her court battle after refusing to take a job at a gay wedding. Different state and a different trade this time but a similar result potentially: The business owners in this case said no when a lesbian couple came into the shop looking for a wedding cake. The latter filed a complaint with the state under the relevant antidiscrimination law and an investigation, which could have taken up to a year, was launched. The bakers, having already been targeted for a boycott by opponents and likely fearing the expense and aggravation of a long court battle themselves, decided to close the shop and move operations into their home, which presumably renders the business “distinctly private” and therefore beyond the reach of the state’s public accommodations law. (Does it?)

 

Link to the rest  of the article It mentions the case of the photographer in NM who refused to shoot a gay wedding...I actually started an op on that one myself and I believe someone else did too?

 

But this, following, is the kicker for me and why I asked the question of shorry's post:

 

Second, note what the guy says in the clip about how they’ve made cakes for this couple before. They don’t refuse to serve gay customers, they refuse to serve gay weddings specifically. 

 

So, it seems to me that the bakery was actually defining their belief about marriage rather than an all encompassing expression of anti-gay sentiment, and the other thing that I found

interesting, is that it was the MOTHER...big momma...that actually made the fuss

 

Anyway, it was not a nice scene before it was all over.  As the article goes into the proceedings regarding the photog case, it kind of makes for interesting reading and comparison as to how

courts are deciding these days, how they they are going to walk a fine line and just how many times they will split hairs and sorry for all the cliches 

 

Anyway, the worms have all left the can already.....

 

 

 

Thanks SS! Very interesting perspective. It's good to have more information too. And the interview does shed some light on matters.

Perhaps this is the story about the bakery in Gresham Oregon

Yes Bo...  Link was here:

 

 

For clarification I think it's horrible/despicable that those involved threatened and boycotted the business to where it was shut down.
