The customer bringing the claim against Azucar Bakery in Denver, Colorado, says he was the victim of ‘religious discrimination’ because they wouldn’t adorn cakes with the words ‘God hates gays’, and draw a picture of two men holding hands with a red cross above it.
Owner Marjorie Silva called the requests of Bill Jack ‘discriminatory and hateful’ and refused to decorate the cakes, saying: ‘We never refuse service. We did feel that it was not right for us to write hateful words or pictures against human beings.’
She did, however, offer to make Mr Jack the cakes and sell him some icing so her could decorate them himself.
Mr Jack was not satisfied with this response, telling a local news station he was being ‘discriminated against by the bakery based on my creed’.
He has filed a complaint with the Department of Regulatory Agencies, which have now placed the bakery under investigation, and could refer the complaint to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission if they feel that Mr Jack was being discriminated against.
Mr Jack is the head of the Worldview Academy, an organisation that exists to help people ‘think and live in accord with a Biblical worldview’.
Since the incident Ms Silva has received praise and support from people throughout the world who have contacted her via email.
Guys please spread this, I live here and I love this cake shop so much and would hate to see it get closed for something like this. The cakes there are absolutely phenomenal, and they even have gay and lesbian wedding cake toppers, and is the only cake store that has those in all of Denver, Golden, and Lakewood. Please don’t let this cake shop close.
Oh, so a cake shop refuses to make a wedding cake for a gay couple and they get sued and everyone is talking about how the cake shop gets to have religious freedom. Now, a cake shop refuses to write hateful remarks on their cakes and it’s the customer’s religious freedom that needs to be protected. I see how it is.
I see how it fucking is.
This is like 10 minutes away from where I live, and the staff there is super professional and they make the most AMAZING pastries. Good on them for telling that PoS to fuck off. 👏👏👏👏👏
turns this is claude giroux being very good at avoiding pucks and not, as i initially thought, claude giroux being VERY bad at stopping even just one of them
I thought this was a movie theatre and I was like weird flex but okay
Listen. It does not matter what kind of student u are. The minute u sit in the back u have no idea what’s going on and the minute u sit in front u suddenly ask every dumbass question that flits into ur brain. We are ruled by the Seats and it cannot be changed, only overcome.
now that it’s 2019, ladies and gentlemen, are you aware that truth is now acceptable and fame is now injectable? process the progress! their core is critical and faith is, sadly, unavailable, but your lives become incredible. please understand that.
