Another bakery refuses gay wedding cake because Jesus - US

Another bakery in the US has refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, citing religion as the reason.

So where does it end? If their religion excluded mixed race couples, would they refuse because of that? Is the US now becoming a theocracy? What possible harm would it do to make a cake for two paying customers? Is their money different from anyone else's? Is their blood a different colour?

Asked by a bakery employee what the cake was for, Valencia said it was to be for his and his partner’s wedding. The woman at the Longviewbased bakery said they did not make cakes for same-sex weddings, Valencia said. 

Describing the conversation, Valencia compared the woman’s tone to the “disgusted” tone someone would use upon seeing a cockroach. 

“I feel like people should be able to go to somewhere to get something done without having to worry about who they are,” Valencia said. “Obviously we don’t have laws that protect against that sort of discrimination in Texas, so you really can’t sue the lady, but I just think people should know that that happened. Businesses have the right to refuse service, but if she’s going to be like that, why doesn’t she just put a sign that says, ‘We don’t make homosexuals’ cakes’?” 

Kerns Bake Shop owner Edie Delorme explained the decision was not about the two men as individuals or how they choose to live their lives, but about the business’ belief that marriage is meant to be between a man and a woman. 

“We just felt that was not an event that we needed to participate in,” Delorme said, adding she felt all the parties involved were polite in the situation. 

One reason Valencia said he was taken by surprise was because he had never experienced discrimination like he did in the situation. 

“I guess to me that’s maybe what made me so sad was because I don’t judge people, and I guess I kind of expect not to be judged in return,” he said. 

“But I can’t control how other people think or how other people act, so you can’t force somebody to like you or be your friend.” Kilgore News herald
