Everyone ordering baked goods...

Should ask if the bakery will make baked goods for gay and lesbian people. If the answer is no, hang up and call a better bakery. This will starve discriminating businesses.

There are plenty of LGBT-friendly places. Idiots who discriminate should all go out of business.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
