Writing that on a cake does not interfere with their own religion or their own right to believe whatever they want. When you're wanting to run a business, you follow the law.



That doesn't make any sense. If a bakery does cakes... it does cakes.

There is no difference between a bar mitzvah cake and a birthday cake or a Christmas cake, other than maybe the decoration.

If I went into a shop and asked for a 12 tier cake and they told me oh, actually we only bake cupcakes that's fair enough but to be told "Oh, yes we can write whatever message you want on your cake, but I'm not writing Congratulations Bob & Gary because that's gay" that's discriminatory.



Whether you think it's screamed too much or not has no bearing on whether something is discriminatory or not.

It's like saying "Oh bloody hell I'm sick of hearing of abuse and sexism in the workplace, people are complaining about it far too much". Maybe look at the cause being the actual sexism and abuse in the workplace, rather than the people speaking up about it.

If someone told a black guy "I'm ever so sorry but we don't allow black men on the premises of our shop. Could you please leave. Thank you ever so much. Have a nice day!" would we say oh that's not racism, they were apologetic and nice and polite. Ummm, no.

Once again you take it to the extreme level , I don't see anything about the American bakery not allowing gay people on the premises and they didn't refuse all service all together.

Niether did the Indonesia bakery . Nobody was kicked out of these shops unfairly . They just didn't do a particular cake for them .
