    Despite my white privilege I did run into places that wouldn't serve me due to my long hair. Yes, I actually had hair. It was always a victory to get run.

    I know, you can cut your hair but you can't change your sexual orientation. Unless you change your sexual identity. It can get confusing.

    It's head asplode time that a small business could be fined like this, for this. This isn't a public institution (hi marriage license lady in bumfuck kentucky or wherever), let the free market take its turn.

    When I was a kid, I remember reading signs in small businesses that said "We reserve the right to refuse service to anybody."

    I'm sure HondaFS is prepping his "pawz is a racist bigot rant", but this is truly a blight on the future of our youth and how we teach them to respond responsibly to adversity.

    What's with the Honda obsession?
    You are what's wrong with America.

    A dumb, gullible piss ant that is mindlessly doing the work of someone who has a lot more to lose than you ever will. All under the guise of doing the lord's work for the little guy, who you inadvertently shackle and enslave in perpetuity. Useful idiot indeed.
    Nice rant. But your perception of reality is off.

    The couple that was awarded money only wanted money, they didn't want a cake. What I don't get is what damages were imposed on the couple? But whatever, I only read the headline.

    Gang-stomping welfare losers is a time honored tradition on this bored. HTH

    I'm a little torn but at the very least, the fine is fucking ridiculous for a small business. I think the activist types targeted them to make a point instead of just going to a more gay friendly bakery.

    Meanwhile huge corporations are cheating workers, deceiving shareholders, polluting, and breaking all kinds of laws and get away with it or just get fined and pass it off as a cost of business and keep doing the same thing, and the media ignores it or puts it on page 12 of the business section. One small bakery in Portland is way more important....

    The media ignores it because they now know it's liberal, progressive fuctards doing the assfucking now.

    Should've just baked them a shitty cake. Word would spread like wildfire through the gay community and bodda-bing, problem solved. BTW, you won't read it in the shitty press, but the bakery owners apparently did some retaliatory stuff, like posting the couples contact info on the web, which led to harassment via e-mails & phone, etc. I don't know the percentages, but as I understand, a large portion of the fine was for those related, retaliatory acts that happened during the shit-storm.
