Quote:So how about that white, right-wing mafia? Who should I go to to ask about that?

 

If a straight couple walked into a gay-owned bakery and wanted a rebel flag, racist cake made for their whites-only wedding, they'd be every bit as justified in raising hell as a gay couple denied a cake for their wedding would be. Would it get the same media outcry? No, because very few bakeries would make an overtly-racist/homophobic cake with a Confederate flag on it, and the straight couple going to the news would be regarded as idiots. The whole thing would backfire on them, and even Fox News would have a hard time not laughing at them.

 

I suppose the bigger response to your hypothetical would be that the reason you don't hear about gay-owned bakeries refusing to bake cakes for straight weddings is that it almost certainly doesn't happen. 96% of the US population identifies as straight. That bakery would be in business for about a week. It's impossible to discriminate against a majority that incredibly overwhelming and survive, so it doesn't happen, and you're not likely to ever see a case come forward short of some idiots trying to order the cake you suggested. The reason you don't hear about straight couples being refused cakes from gay bakeries is that common sense dictates that it doesn't happen. If whites had no issues discriminating against the much larger minority of black people, no one is going to have any issue discriminating against the 4% of Americans who are gay. If it takes a ruling from the Supreme Court to stop that discrimination, then so be it.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
