Steve Shaw BS: Can't have your gay cake and eat it (440* d) RE: BS: Can't have your gay cake and eat it 21 May 15


We've had lots of what-ifs in this thread. In general, these come from people supporting the cake shop bigot. I have four things to say about that. First, the people putting up the what-ifs need to tell us of cases of their what-ifs they've encountered and what was the outcome. If these things ever happen, which I doubt, then let them inform our discussion. Second, on the whole, people, barring the out-and-out insane, are not going to waste their time trying to get Jewish cake shops to make Nazi cakes, etc. Third, the law of the land always applies should common sense fail, which we hope it won't. Fourth, the cake man needs to reflect on how he can provide a fair and non-discriminating service to the public whilst there is the risk of his views precipitating unfortunate skirmishes with people belonging to minorities. Perhaps he's in the wrong trade. We really don't need people like him who pose such threats to the unfinished and right-minded business of doing away with unfair discrimination. And, dammit all, he could have held his nose and just done the bloody cake. No-one was going to die as a result. I surely can't be the only person to think that.
