What a complete tool. Like, I used to love going there when I was a kid living out that way, and then every year when I went up Lobethal way for the Christmas lights. But they're dead to me now.

It wasn't even that, this was Lobethal Bakery just going straight out and saying WE DON'T WANT BUSINESS FROM THESE KIND OF PEOPLE and then complaining when people then said "ok, we won't give you our business".

Why is it always about loving bakeries though? Like, aren't there much more significant issues to talk about RE: SSM? It's such a loving annoying attempt to muddy the debate by harping on about god drat wedding cakes.
Did this trend start here or in the U.S?

The only funny thing about it is seeing all these conservatives who constantly claim that we don't need regulations because FREE MARKET suddenly do a complete 180 when they're told that consumers plan to exercise their right to choose where they spend their money.

IIRC it started in the UK and the US. I mean, it comes up because wedding cakes are kind of a thing if you're having a wedding. I guess being conservative is just a thing in some baking circles? Also it plays up the whole "battler small business owner" gimmick that the LNP loves to pretend it cares about.

Show them this image, ask them if all those signs should be legal.



If they say yes, then they are too far gone down the conservo-libertarian rabbit hole. If they say that this is different then they are conceding that it's actually about being anti-gay, not respecting peoples religious "freedom" and so can be dismissed as hypocrites.
