A Florida bakery that refused to make a cake with an anti-gay message was found not guilty of discriminating against a customer who requested a message the owners found hateful, News Service of Florida reports.
Orlando area bakery Cut the Cake first attracted the attention of religious conservatives after it was targeted by Arizona evangelist Joshua Feuerstein, who called on April 1 to request a cake that read: We do not support gay marriage. Owner Sharon Haller asked if it was a prank call before saying her bakery wouldnt put a hateful message on a cake.
(She didn't know she was being recorded by this guy)
But Haller and her daughter Cyndol Knarr, who co-owns the bakery, said they didnt technically refuse the Mannarinos request. Knarr gave him a quote over the phone $150 per letter, for a total of close to $6,000 and then hung up before completing the order when Mannarino said he was recording the call

Feuerstein is a complete idiot, hatemonger, and rabble rouser.
