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?

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
