Loll. I live on Vancouver Island, best catch a flight to Victoria, closest city to where I live. It has the best brunch in Canada. My treat. Do you like houseboats?

Never been on a houseboat but the prospect of sharing a three layer spice cake with a double batch of brown sugar fudge frosting is a mighty powerful argument in its favor.
 
Shalimar, yum! I can smell the delicious aroma all the way over here!

Camper, OK, I'll make you happy and put in a serious answer. Of course they could have put a "gay" topper on the cake; I imagine the manufacturers of those items have jumped right on it and have toppers with two men or two women. This case was never really about the gay couple having, or not having, a wedding cake. It was used as a civil rights issue.
 
Speaking of wedding cakes...….the groom went to pick up the wedding cake yesterday morning and the bakery didn't have it. They couldn't find the order. He showed them HIS copy of the order and they said...."oh, yes, <sigh> Rosie...…<nodding to each other>...Rosie did it again....." Of course, at that point he was wondering how he was going to explain this to the bride when they said, come back in 20 minutes and we'll have your cake for you. Three people went to work on it and 15 minutes later, there was a lovely cake exactly like they had ordered. Luckily it was a small 2-tiered wedding cake and very simple and elegant.....not a lot of frou-frou's.

Disaster avoided.

Now if we just could have diverted the thunderstorm that sent everyone running for cover at the end of the reception.

When going to high school I lived in a small town and worked at the local bakery. Wedding cakes that were ordered a week or two before the date needed? Let's just say that back in the late Sixties it was a pretty clear sign that six months later that same family would be back to order a baby shower cake.

It's his business. Because of that he has the right to refuse service to whomever he chooses. If the customer is offended by that, he can take his business elsewhere. As he should. What I can't understand, is if this guy didn't want to serve gays, why would gays want to enrich his business by forcing him to do business with them?

No, if he is a business offering services to the public, he DOES NOT have the right to refuse service to whomever he chooses. Thus sayeth the laws of the state of Colorado.

Colorado is a state that has been taken over by liberal nut cases. It's why the Supreme Court ruled in this guy's favor. Remember: No Shoes. No Shirt. No Service? Plenty of shoeless, bare chested, barefoot guys never ate because of that one. Ever hear of them suing? Gays are at a point in society where they believe they can push their point of view, not to mention their lifestyle on anyone and everyone. It didn't work so well for them this time.
 
Under federal anti-discrimination laws, businesses can refuse service to any person for any reason, unless the business is discriminating against a protected class.
At the national level, protected classes include:

  • Race or color
  • National origin or citizenship status
  • Religion or creed
  • Sex
  • Age
  • Disability, pregnancy, or genetic information
  • Veteran status

Gay's are not mentioned.

I was not aware that a liberal mindset could be indicative of mental instability, yikes, Canucks are doomed! Loll. Seriously, Canada has championed the rights of LGBTQI for quite some time, our society is none the worse for it. We certainly do not believe we have been pushed into anything.
 
Some of this sort of sounds like what an employer would say to a new employee, “during your 90-day Probation Period, we can fire you for any reason at any time.”
