Jimmy Kimmel Demonstrates Why Denying Gay Couples Wedding Cakes is Wrong

A controversial decision came from a court in Kern County, California that ruled in favor of a bakery that refused to make a cake for a same sex wedding because the owner said it would violate her Christian faith. This isn't the first instance of a bakery refusing to make a cake for a same sex wedding, there's a case right now in the Supreme Court, but the judge's ruling in this particular case is interesting. He says the bakery would have violated the law if it refused to sell the gay couple a cake that was already baked, but that they can't be forced to bake one. So Jimmy uses a common restaurant dining experience to explain why this isn't right.

Let's look at this another way, is the baker also refusing to bake a cake for an adulterer? Someone who eats unclean meat (Pig, rabbit, lobster, shrimp, clams? Women who wear men's clothing (jeans, pants)? People that do not keep the Sabbath? People who steal? A man who cuts his beard? An Atheist? If she bakes wedding cakes for these people, then she is a hypocrite. All are these things are an abomination to the lord. Basically, she is just trying to use hide behind her religion so that she can be a bigot.

[@bulldogsbob]

[@jacobmartinez5461]

flower37075 well said

[@gboyer1901]

Fair point, but the fact remains that religious freedom is a right for all. For some reason unknown to me and everyone else with a brain, Christians target homosexuality as the ultimate sin. As ridiculous as it is, they're free to do so, and they should be.

[@dinnerroll]

Way to misrepresent the premise of the argument

[@made2trick]

Just go to another bakery. The public decides if a business stays open by not going to that bakery again. There's no need to put political pressure on everything.

[@jayisfedup6896]

Smart man bud an I agree with you 100%

[@happygolucky143]

What a stupid analogy

[@Ron4T1]

Actually, the Court ruled that the reason why the baker was allowed to refuse baking the cake was due to the fact that the baker had to write a message on the cake that was against his religious beliefs. If for instance, the same-sex couple had just requested a cake that said "Congratulations" or had no message written on there at all and the baker refused service, his refusal would be deemed as refusal to serve clients (which is what Jimmy is demonstrating), but that's not what the Judge opined on and that's not what happened in this case.

[@Nonalhomophobie]

No one cares what his beliefs are, the baker is bound to write what is expected of him on the cake, so long as it doesn't break the law.

[@bx6969]

Non à l'homophobie The owner *owns* her business. She shouldn’t be forced to do anything like that.

[@Nonalhomophobie]

@@bx6969 The owner does not own the law and has to comply and abide it, by serving anyone who makes this request. Otherwise, you could potentially let a doctor refuse to save someone on the verge of death because of the doctor's belief. It's dangerous and unacceptable.

[@bx6969]

Non à l'homophobie The doctor is an employee. This lady is a business owner. There is a huge difference.

[@robronsuggle6897]

[@seanberdo5380]

I think there might be a difference, because she is not being denied the dress because of her gender, race or sexuality but for her personality, which involves being married to Donald. But i'm no expert

[@pepper1234ization]

It doesn't matter. Trying to justify the refusal to serve Melania and condemning the one who refused service to the homosexuals is wrong, because both are refusals because of background. You either condemn them both or you support them both.

[@DeaconBlues25]

True, but that is not what these bakers are doing.

[@nika5318]

Wait... what?

[@DeaconBlues25]

What I mean is that they are just trying to follow their religious beliefs. I do see that it is problematic. The true debate is are we going to tolerate Christianity teaching that homosexuality is a sin.

[@DeaconBlues25]

In the New Testament (NT) there are at least three passages that refer to homosexual activity: Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, and 1 Timothy 1:9-10. A fourth passage, Jude 1:7, is often interpreted as referring to homosexuality. Jesus restricts marriage to opposite-sex couples when he cites the Book of Genesis during a discussion of marriage (Matthew 19:4-6 and Mark 10:6-9). The presumed references to 'homosexuality' itself in the New Testament hinge on the interpretation of three specific Greek words: arsenokoitēs (ἀρσενοκοίτης), malakos (μαλακός), and porneia (πορνεία) and its cognates.[1][2] While it is not disputed that the three Greek words apply to sexual relations between men (and possibly between women), some academics interpret the relevant passages as a prohibition against pederasty or prostitution rather than homosexuality per se, while other scholars have presented counter arguments.[3][4][5] The historical context of the passages has also been a subject of debate. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_the_New_Testament

Nothing wrong with Wikis. Those are simple facts.

gays shouldn't be treated any differently but in the same time if the catholic baker baked a wedding cake for them it means he is celebrating with them which is against his beliefs. I find the decision of the court is reasonable

[@Nonalhomophobie]

So you are saying gays should be treated differently. The decision of the court is homophobic. Equality comes before personal beliefs.

[@nelsonw9483]

Notice the awkward silence when Jimmy made fun of the priestess who was anti-'patriarchy' and put her under the same category as the anti-Semitics and homophobic. The leftist audiences were like, "Uhh that's not funny, Jimmy. She's right about patriarchy and we're with her one this one."

[@kellywatson4383]

That stood out to me too, mostly because the audience laughed at every single joke, even about the hinduist who refused to serve steak, but when Jimmy made fun of a woman who hated patriarchy, there was dead silence. In that split second, they probably thought that Jimmy was mocking feminism and implying that feminists are 'bigots', so their instincts told them not to laugh.

[@daniellee1127]

I can't make sense of this whole stupid cake business. Since when does serving someone at your business or selling something you made for someone equal, "I approve everything you believe"? This means that every waitress, chef and bakery I go to has to approve of my faith? This whole thing is another one of those "I am a Christian and I am persecuted," when in reality, we are priveleged. Surprise! I am not only a Christian but a pastor who supports the lgbtq community. The Bible talks about persecution but those persecuted people were fed to the lions, crucified and burned alive. Being forced to bake a cake is not persecution like businesses saying happy holidays is not persecution. We might be losong our privelege but it is definitely not oppression or persecution. Besides Jesus said they will know him by our love not what we believe for crying out loud. I'm done...

[@terri639]

Daniel Lee Thank you so much for being the type of person you are.

[@juanlostsheep]

Marriage between a man and a woman is a sacred entity. Christians oppose homosexuality not out of hatred for others but because it violates this sacredness, which is a reflection of God's own image.

[@analssimoes]

Jeremy McGuire, you say that "Christians oppose homosexuality not out of hatred for others but because it violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman"... Christians can believe whatever they want, the problem is not what they believe, the problem is what they impose on others!!! Anyone can believe in whatever, but they forget they don't have the right to impose on others their beliefs!!! If it was the other way around they would cry persecution, but when they do it is their right to believe!!! That has a name, it's called hypocrisy!!!

If by genius you mean that when he could not come up with a skit portraying certain services being denied that made the bakers seem wrong that he just changed it to examples of discrimination based on WHO was ordering instead of WHAT they were ordering, then yea.

[@ddmaul]

John and Mary request a cake with white frosting, decorated with pink and yellow roses for their wedding. The baker agrees. Bob and Larry request a cake with white frosting, decorated with pink and yellow roses for their wedding. The baker refuses. Is the difference WHAT was ordered, or WHO was ordering? It's not the baker that imbues the cake with meaning, it's the customer.

[@I.am_Groot]

So just because the bakery owner said no, they are homophobic? By that process may I presume you are an atheist? I mean you have to either be FOR or AGAINST right? Or maybe is it possible that you simply disagree, and both have a right to your own opinion. That is the real issue here is it not? Who has a right to stand up for what they believe.

[@ddmaul]

I don't pretend to know the mind of the baker. But when the baker said no, he broke the law. The baker can have his opinion, but opinions don't exempt us from laws. If it's my opinion that my income taxes are too high, I still have to pay them.

[@ddmaul]

I don't pretend to read minds. When the baker refused to bake the cake, the baker broke the law.

[@iammarcodorian]

The argument is not pertinent, as the bakers own a private activity. Therefore they can decide what kind of service to provide and for whom they see fit. For example: if a Jewish baker has a customer asking him to bake a cake with the image of the Qur’an, the baker can 100% refuse to make the cake. Bye.

[@Nonalhomophobie]

No, service providers have to obey certain laws, and discriminating people is illegal.

[@Nameless_mixes]

Here’s an idea: When bigots refuse to offer their service to people due to their beliefs (religious, spiritual, personal, etc.) we dont support them. So every homophobic cake maker out there wont get a penny out of us until either A.) They agree to put their beliefs aside and help someone or B.) They go out of business. Suing them wont change who they are and just seems like a waste of time and money for the plaintiffs. Just boycott their business.

[@Nameless_mixes]

Lord IceCream Maybe you didnt understand me. Youre more than free to follow your bigoted practices that you defend with your religious beliefs, but Im equally free to not support you. So let’s say that you’re a Christian baker who’s against homosexuality. Me, a bisexual, does not need to support your business because I have the freedom of consumerism to go wherever I please because we live in a country that’s against monopolies. So ultimately, you keep your religious freedoms and I get to support a business that I agree with on how we should treat each other. We both win. You keep your beliefs and I keep my money.

Is it really wrong though? The man did not refuse to make a cake for them, he refused to make a cake for same sex marriages. Should the government be able to choose what part of your religion matters? Its not like there isn't other bakers, in theory a free market would make decisions like this man's unpopular simply because he is driving away customers and there fore promoting other bakers that will serve these people for that occasion. He did not deny services based on who they were but for what they asked him to do, and that being against his personal belief.

[@DeaconBlues25]

If you`re not prepared to serve no matter someone else`s race, religion, gender, sexuality(etc.), don`t enter the service industry, it`s as simple as that. I`m Chinese and I could be denied service because some people are sincere in their racist beliefs. I`m a nominal Christian and I could be denied service by those with sincere religious beliefs that my religion (or lack of active outward participation in it) is wrong. I prefer guys and I could be denied service because of other people`s sincerely held (sexist if you think about it) belief that males must be with females (just because they are male). It`s such a slippery slope with the logic proponents of the baker`s decision employ. It`s really just shameful.

From what i understand the cake is an art form more than food so the restaurant analogy wouldn't apply. Just as writers can tell whether or not their books can be quoted for some political purpose (e.g. Dr. Seuss' book quotes used by anti-abortion folks for which Dr. Seuss was allowed to force them to stop), an artist (cake maker/decorator) can tell whatever their art can be used for. I would be against the government forcing artist to have to allow their art to be used for what they don't believe in.

Speaking of oppression, the Baker has suffered way more oppression than the couple. Losing money from his business, getting death threats, and even getting protests.
