Sweet Cakes Turns Me Sour - Local Gresham bakery hides discrimination with religious beliefs

Sweat Cakes Bakery

As it so happens I walk by this bakery on a fairly frequent basis. On warmer days their back door is often open and glancing in the back room there's typically a couple of guys bustling around a table in a very, very pink painted kitchen. On one occasion one of the guys (the owner as it turns out) nodded pleasantly enough, and I thought "He's kinda cute, I wonder...  the place is so pink and with a name like Sweet Cakes???" So when I read the headline about Sweet Cakes Bakery in Gresham denying service to a same-sex couples request for a wedding cake,  I was a little bemused.  I guess you shouldn't judge by appearance, but I'd have thought the bakery was at least a gay friendly establishment. Then I read the story in its entirety and my chagrin turned to frustration and even anger. My first impulse was to rush to the computer and post a rather heated and perhaps a little nasty comment. "They should be closed down! How dare they discriminate against my people!!!"
