"Wedding Cake-Gate"

A departure from my norm, however I just want to give my two cents. This week on one of he cable news shows was a story of a men who owns a small bakery in Denver,I believe. He was being sued by two gay men who were getting married. They had asked the baker to bake them a wedding cake for their up coming nuptials. The dispute came when the baker refused to bake them a "Wedding Cake" over his Christian held religious views on same sex marriage. He explained that he would be happy to bake them "cupcakes and cookies" for the event but that he would not make them a "Wedding cake" 

Now here's were my two cents comes in! I would have refused them just on the grounds they were ugly. Seriously when these two were born the Dr delivered the baby and slapped the mother. I mean god bless, they found each other. Everyone deserves someone to love them. However thank you lord they cant breed. 

Hopefully you know I,m joking!............... about them being ugly. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And I'm sure there's some deep philosophical and spiritual connection between them both. With that being said I DON'T GET IT! Isn't this just a lot to do about nothing. First of all "ITS A CAKE"! What, God isn't going to let the baker into heaven because he feed homosexuals. And guys really..........what, hes the only baker in town. If I were the two men I would have called the The Cake Boss on the food network and asked him to bake the cake. Over the controversy cake boss would have probably made a better cake and for free! use your head guys. 

I appreciate the bakers views and there,s more to the story I,m sure. But from my perspective is it just over the labeling of the cake. If he was willing to make cupcakes and cookies knowing there for a same sex wedding then change the name of the cake. call it "A Civil Union Cake" or some other gender bending, tie binding title. "Tie the knot" cake. Be creative! had the two parties worked together perhaps the end result would have been successful. Instead we litigate.

Now don't get me wrong when I say its just a cake. I LOVE CAKE especially wedding cake.  Me and cake have a relationship that boarders on disturbing. Knowing the Lizard, on my last day there likely to find me dead on a lounge chair with cake frosting smeared all over my dead, tanned face. But really guys, we litigate? what to move forward the gay equality movement one wedding cake at a time. 

Charity, is the pure love of Christ. "If you are without charity you have nothing"Our Father in Heaven loves all his children he may dislike the behavior but he loves his children. The lizard believes we are spiritual beings having an earthly experience. We are placed upon this earth for and with a purpose. We can be ourselves but we must be our best selves. 

Would it have not been more Christian for both parties to have worked together, instead of what we have now, Controversy and unpleasantness. I don't doubt this good brothers sincerity in his faith, I'm sure the lord knows his heart. Its not like he officiated the wedding and sign the marriage license. What would the savior had done? maybe he could have explained to the the men he doesn't approve of same sex marriage but he would not only make the cake but he will make it his best ever. In this Christ like manner his actions would have built unity instead of division. 

As for the happy couple they too could have taken a lesson from the life of our Savior. "Behold I stand at the door and knock" Our Savior doesn't  push himself   onto anyone he invites unto him. You can't legislate acceptance.

There's lot's to say on the subject of same sex marriage but I promised only my "two cents"  As for now I say "What the hell, let them eat cake"
