(9,314 posts)I wanted to let everyone know. If you have seen the facebook page where we supposedly went on a racist rant. I want everyone to know that was not us. Someone created a fake facebook page and used the picture of me and aaron off our website. We have friends of different races and we do not HATE anyone, including gays. There is also a story from the willamette week. That story is false as well.

MELISSA has more love in her HEART and LOVE OVERRIDES HATE. So grow up and choose LOVE because it puts your HEART AT PEACE WITH THE WORLD.
Yeah she has soooo much love in her heart...except when it comes to gay couples.
They are nothing more than homophobic bigots who would rather spite an entire community than treat gay couples like human beings. They went out of their way to make that couple feel subhuman on what was SUPPOSED to be the happiest day of the couple's lives.
Lets be clear, they might not have made those posts BUT THEIR ACTIONS are even more bigotted than that fake FB page. Catering a gay marriage does NOT mean you support gay marriage, but by refusing they are discriminating against homosexuals and trying to force their views on others. If they did this to a mixed race couple they would be crucified. There is no love in their actions. Only hatred and bitterness.
Bigotry wrapped in religion is still bigotry.

(8,303 posts)Because if you stop to parse that, there wouldn't be many people left to buy cakes.
That really should punch the suspicion button of anyone who reads it.

(5,105 posts)Why, "some of my best friends are!"
At this point I don't care if the post is real or not, it effectively conveys the spirit of their hateful views. Fuck them, and may they burn in their hell.

It's obvious.
The bakers now have a good libel case against the paper who ran with this.
