A bakery is facing legal action because it refused to write anti-gay comments on a cake for a customer

The customer bringing the claim against Azucar Bakery in Denver, Colorado, says he was the victim of ‘religious discrimination’ because they wouldn’t adorn cakes with the words ‘God hates gays’, and draw a picture of two men holding hands with a red cross above it.

Owner Marjorie Silva called the requests of Bill Jack ‘discriminatory and hateful’ and refused to decorate the cakes, saying: ‘We never refuse service. We did feel that it was not right for us to write hateful words or pictures against human beings.’

She did, however, offer to make Mr Jack the cakes and sell him some icing so her could decorate them himself.

Mr Jack was not satisfied with this response, telling a local news station he was being ‘discriminated against by the bakery based on my creed’.

He has filed a complaint with the Department of Regulatory Agencies, which have now placed the bakery under investigation, and could refer the complaint to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission if they feel that Mr Jack was being discriminated against.

Mr Jack is the head of the Worldview Academy, an organisation that exists to help people ‘think and live in accord with a Biblical worldview’.

Since the incident Ms Silva has received praise and support from people throughout the world who have contacted her via email.

Guys please spread this, I live here and I love this cake shop so much and would hate to see it get closed for something like this. The cakes there are absolutely phenomenal, and they even have gay and lesbian wedding cake toppers, and is the only cake store that has those in all of Denver, Golden, and Lakewood. Please don’t let this cake shop close.

Friendly Christian Reminder:

Saying “God Hates” is a violation of most of the New Testament. See also John 3:16-17, for starters. Numerous mentions of “God is love”.

Saying that you are without sin is a bold-faced lie; see Psalm 130 and Romans 3:20.

Passing judgement onto another person is a no-no; see Mathew 7:1-5.

Loving thy neighbor is one of the two most important commandments; Mark 12:31.

And that your ‘neighbor’ isn’t always another Christian; see Luke 10:25-37.

In short, stop using my religion to justify you being an ass-hat, Ass-hat.

Every time I reread the Hunger Games trilogy I become more furious about the movie representation.

These books were about an indigenous woman (with a brain injury in book 3) living in poverty overthrowing a corrupt white government.

She was demisexual, had stomach hair, was not even remotely romantically driven (and canonically didn’t even find romance until after she had finished a revolution.)

And Peeta was disabled and physically abused as a child and they both suffered from mental health problems and the parallel between the Capitol and the ruling rich was so very transparent.

And I’m seeing fun coloured makeup in stores labeled “Capitol colours from the Hunger Games”!

These books were about the revolution of the most oppressed taking over the extravagance and elitism and decadence of the ruling class while citizens starved.

These books were a parallel to our current social dynamics, they were a call to arms. They were a battle cry for the impeding ruin of the rich white ruling class.

And the movies portrayed them as a fantasy, a romance story, a cute little tale. When the real story in the books was one of strength and upheaval and shifting paradigms and revolutions.

[iamatinyowl]

And like…… the death of a young Black child sparked the rebellion.

When Katniss thinks about running away in the second book it is the memory of Rue that makes her decide to stay and “cause all kinds of trouble.”

That is an indigenous woman deciding that the death of a Black child is so horrific and unacceptable that she needs to start an entire uprising about it. That is WOC solidarity.

Then again, when Katniss is talking with Peeta about not leaving he literally, canonically and verbally SAYS it’s because of Rue.

The movies did not lend enough weight to the injustice and violence that Black women face; they didn’t waste any time in deciding the rebellion came from their White Katniss’s determination to overthrow the Capitol.

The movies purposely and aggressively erased all of the racial oppression and power and dynamics that were so apparent in the books.

They made Katniss white, they made Gale white, they erased Peeta’s amputation, they seriously diminished the PTSD both of them faced (which was actually one of the more accuract accounts of PTSD I had ever read in the books), they drastically lessened the weight and importance of Rue’s death.

Anyway, fuck the movies. The books are miraculous. Right down to the respect of survival sex workers. Right down to the power imbalances of society being set in the hands of a violent old white man who has surgery to appear younger.

The author said these books was based on her interpretation of kids’ experiences in war torn Vietnam and Iraq. None of these kids were supposed to be white.

Aries:Fighting isn’t always the solution. There is nothing wrong with deciding you need to turn around and run. There is nothing wrong with deciding to hide from this war. It doesn’t feel right but sometimes the right choices we have to make feel like shit. But it’s better than the alternative. Taurus: Forgive yourself. Let what you use to do and who you use to be part of your past. I know the memories haunt you in scars on your skin, but you are more than your tragic backstory or the people who tried to wreck you. Gemini: Put down the knives, the fists, the guns. Put down your weapons. You have been fighting for so long you can’t even see who the real targets are anymore, can you? Give yourself a break to straighten it all out. Cancer: It’s okay to slip up. It’s okay to be sick sometimes. You do not always have to be this perfect person. You are allowed to have flaws and to be damaged. If they don’t like it then fuck them and move on. Leo: You’re taking the hits meant for them. If no one else is saying thank you, I am. You are being a bigger person then the one throwing punches or the cowards hiding in the corner. You’re putting a target on your own back to keep others safe. Thank you. Virgo: If the people in your life can’t handle you when the storms come, then they don’t belong there. If they can’t pick you up at 4 AM off the floor even though you’ve told them a thousand times they might have to, then they are not brave enough to belong with you. Libra: No matter how much you love them, you can’t bring them back. You can’t make them be part of your life just because you are so in love and miss them so much. I wish it worked that way, I’m sorry. Scorpio: There are better days and more sunsets ahead. You just have to hold on for them. I know it’s scary and overwhelming. But there are so much more on the horizon and it is coming, just please hang on. Sagittarius: It’s okay that the sadness comes back some nights. That it gets bad some days. But the way you got the scars the first time was being very quiet and letting yourself get hurt over and over again. If the monsters come back please don’t be silent this time. Capricorn: You are worth more then the bullshit they tell you to keep you around. I hope you open your eyes and see what their doing isnt just selfish it’s almost fucking abusive. Wake up, and run. Run as far and as fast as you can. Aquarius: Put the bottles down. They won’t help you. Hiding behind a vice isn’t going to do any good it’s just going to mask the problems with the marijuana smoke. Time to come out of the shadows and see what we really need to fix. Pisces: Never be scared to tell the truth. As scary as the attacks that may come for you, but it’s better than staying silent and waiting for the next person to get hurt. You know better.

what the signs will learn in 2018

aries: you’ll learn that all of your hard work is going to be worth it. all the time, effort, tears, etc. is going to turn around and be in your favor for once. without even noticing, everything will be changing and suddenly the relief of everything you’ve been working towards will be here.

taurus: you will learn to connect. you’ll learn to get out of your room that you’ve shut yourself in. you will realize that there’s a whole ocean of people who care about you, and you’ll finally let them into your life. you’ll create great friendships and relationships with people who really care.

gemini: you’ll learn that not everything is in your control, but that’s the beauty of everything. you never know what is going to happen next, so alas, you will learn to go with the flow and not worry as much as you have been.

cancer: you will learn who is really supposed to be in your life. it’s no secret that you’ve let people take advantage of you, but this year, you will learn to put your foot down and welcome in the people who have pure intentions. you won’t be so trustworthy of just anyone anymore, because you know that trust is earned.

leo: you will learn that you have to create your own happiness. you won’t depend on people for validation and reassurance as much as you used to, and it will be freeing to finally understand your own worth and love yourself. 

virgo: you will learn that love comes in its own time. it cannot be forced, it cannot be begged for. you will realize that the people worth fighting for, actually will never have to be fought for and it will change your life for the better.

libra: you will learn that even when you don’t feel like it, people care about you. you might be overwhelmed a lot this year because of how many people come around and want to know how you are and how you’ve been. but, it will set your heart free knowing that these people aren’t going anywhere, and they really want to be here for you.

scorpio: you will learn the true value of the people in your life. it’s true, you’ve been hurt a lot. but you’ve really been starting to notice the people who have been around and stuck around all this time. the people that left you won’t matter as much anymore.

sagittarius: you will learn to care about yourself as you care for others. you will learn to take your big heart, and use it on yourself instead of constantly using it on others who simply don’t deserve it.

capricorn: you will learn that being lost means being found. you may have felt completely broken last year, but now, you will really start to figure yourself out. you won’t have to constantly wonder where you’re going or what you’re going to do, it doesn’t have to be so scary anymore.

aquarius: you will learn growth. you are going to grow a lot as a person this year and have lots of big changes. by the time this year ends, you won’t remember who you were at the beginning, but it will be beautiful.

pisces: you will learn to heal. all of these hurtful things that have happened to you over the years, you will learn to gracefully let them go. they won’t have such an impact on you anymore, and it will finally feel nice to move on and let yourself be free of it all.

Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made, or by dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.
