> [@WillFarnaby](#): > > This is a cake and a bunch of people who demand the baker do what they say. If he doesn’t they will try to ruin his life, dragging him through court, fining him, god forbid they actually arrest him. Idk what the ultimate punishment will be for him not doing what they want. > > They could easily get a different cake. Am I nuts or what? Human beings are always going to have disagreements. Why must things so trivial be politicized and accompanied by threats of force. This is infantile behavior on the part of the plaintiff. You want to be accepted by society for who you are? How about enduring a fucking inconvenience without running to daddy government. You are calling for a return to the days of Jim Crow. Places that didn’t cater to black people were more than just an inconvenience that required the black person to drive an extra block to a different merchant. Indeed the inability to access a variety of services was so pervasive a [guide book](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Negro_Motorist_Green_Book) was published that helped black motorists know where they could find the things they needed while traveling in the US. Remember that in parts of the south if you were a merchant who was happy to provide services for black people the local white people would shun you and you’d probably go out of business. This is more of the same except with gay people in place of black people. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/colorado-baker-sued-again/819732)._
