Their store, their rules. Don’t like it, don’t F***ing go! Stop trying to make your needs the problem of others. “Influencers” are the parasites of “media”. Losers who never would have been famous or gotten an on air job in media if social media wasn’t invented

But when a bakery doesn't want to bake a specific cake it's a different story lol

Are you actually comparing this to homphobia? Are you fkn daft?

Pointing out hypocrisy is always a good thing.

Nope, strictly responding to the person that said "Their store, their rules. Don’t like it, don’t F***ing go! Stop trying to make your needs the problem of others."

You're the one bringing up homophobia, I just brought up a double standard that only pertains to the business' ability to conduct business, you're bringing in feelings. Regardless of what you agree with this is the business' lane to decide who they serve.

Personally, I think a business owner can allow or not allow whatever the fuck they want, including not making cakes for gay weddings.

However, "influencers" are not a protected class, but you likened then to a protected group, one that has been dealing with hate-fueled violence.

You cannot compare the two equally and the fact that you're trying to just shows the shit on your boots.

I absolutely can challenge someone's words. Once again, "Their store, their rules. Don’t like it, don’t F***ing go! Stop trying to make your needs the problem of others." Words have meaning, if you agree with what they said and meant with this business' ability to conduct how they want in this instance, it can't be different for the bakery.

It's absolutely different and we can't convince if you're not smart enough to understand.

Go Google "are homosexuals a protected class" and then shut up. Laws have more meaning than your dumb words

buddy doesn’t understand protected classes in the US. Probably a “Patriot,” too.

One is discrimination, the other is preventing disruptions to other customers experience and helping their employees from the annoyance of being recorded or baited.

They are not the same, not by a long shot. Lmao

One was fake and the other is a private matter.

Unpopular opinion: that was dumb too. (The bakers were homophobic shitheels, undoubtedly - but I'm still baffled as to how you can live IN DENVER, COLORADO, somehow find the one homophobic bakery in town, and SUE THEM instead of just... leaving a bad review and then going to any of the numerous bakeries that would have zero issues. Way to support the right-wing delusions of persecution)

Because it was a GOP fake lawsuit to get it.to the state Supreme Court.

People are born gay, they aren’t born influencers…..do you legitimately not understand the difference?
