Yes, I see it as discrimination, but I see it as something that can only hurt the baker in the end. More people will support the same-sex couple and ruin the business of the baker with a simple Yelp review than with nationwide coverage, a lawsuit and public shaming.

OK. To me it always felt like a sting operation but I’ll go with your stats and give up that point.

This is the second response I received today that was thoughtful and offered a perspective I had not considered. You make some very good and accurate points.  That is the kind of conversation I prefer to have with people on the Internet rather that the ones where people are cursing and just throwing around party…

Oooh, my bad. I thought he was some kind of leftist hero.

Also, I mentioned to someone else that if they’d let the market handle the issue, it would have resolved itself. The bakers that handle those cakes and the baking for people that support them would be doing plenty of business and the “bigot” baker wouldn’t.

Leviticus 20:13 And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

So, they just randomly picked a baker that just happened to not bake cakes for same sex weddings? Or do you think they called around until they found one that said no, THEN they tried to order one so they could make a big deal about it? Why didn’t they hit up any Muslim or Indian or maybe Orthodox Jewish bakeries?…

You don’t really believe that’s what I meant do you? Even Bill Mahr has talked about how the left has gone overboard with faux outrage at every little thing to the point where you can’t hardly say or do anything without the risk of offending someone. For example, he said this:

I like everything you say. We could be friends. We could have a constructive conversation that doesn’t include cursing each other or yelling and probably both come away with new perspectives. That’s how I wish everyone behaved.

Yes, they are CURRENTLY privately owned (as part of Univision), however Univision is actively seeking to complete an IPO. In October they updated their filing to include the the former Gawker assets as part of their digital media portfolio. Their digital media group according to the filing quoted below accounts for…

Now Sean, you know that’s not what I was saying. The point of my statement is that the Empire formerly known as Gawker Media has been going downhill for months and shows no signs of improving. Anyone who’s been on the internet more than 5 years has seen the same thing happen to companies like Yahoo, Digg, Geocities,…

LOL, and “RedditIsAMentalDisorder” has the nerve to call the people on Reddit trolls.

For what it’s worth: I believe that a percentage of them are simply ignorant about what they hate. I’m not saying they’re idiots, I’m saying the only exposure to it has been negative. They’ve never met same sex couples. They don’t know black people that aren’t criminals, or muslims that aren’t terrorists. They’ve…

Agreed. This is what happens when you call them names, take away their flags, take away their websites, and push them further into the dark.

They’re catering to their base. A group of intolerant liberals who champion free speech when it applies to their ideals only.

There aren’t many “Gawker loyalists” left. These sites are going downhill fast.

No. What you saw in the election and what you’re seeing on Reddit is the pent-up frustration of a group of people who were marginalized by political correctness and shouted down as bigots every time they questioned the reasons for something. They couldn’t criticize Obama without being called a racist. They couldn’t…

For now. Give it a few days.

INTOLERANCE makes everything worse. Has nothing to do with Trump. When the same type of thing was going on to harrass bakeries who wouldn’t make wedding cakes for a same sex marriage, that was OK with everyone. How many death threats, and online doxxing did liberals do to restaurant owners who expressed their…
