    There is a taboo against cake if it represents a ceremony that defies Church sanctioned marriage. It's a matter of conscious. It purports to serve the public but it is a private business. Even if the owners called themselves "Chistian Bakery"....I'm sure there would by homosexuals flocking to it in order to make a test case.

    Tax dollars going to a public institution should not favor only one point of view. Berkeley does just that.

    Hey the Nazi card! Drink!!

    I see you guys and girls, (and those who can't decide which you are on the left) are adding "nazi" to the most overused word "racist" like the good little robots that spout the party issued talking points upon command.

    Sieg Heil libs!

    If the school invites her, she has the right to speak and the students have a right to object and vote with their feet.

    Have you ever walked out of a church because the preacher was talking smack? I have.. We aren't hostage to radicals on either side.

    Too bad the people you support don't believe that.

    So what? Where in the Constitution does it say your right to religious freedom ends if you open a business?

    When you get a business license you can post, no shoes, no shirt, no service.... but you can't post no Black, no Gays, no Athiests, No Jews.

    "Antifa" Punks Attempt Their Typical "Protest" at Auburn University.
    There Was One Flaw In Their Plan: They Forgot Auburn is In Alabama.


    No fireworks this time, no Moldylocks being punched in the face by a dude.

    However, the police were actually present -- instead of sitting on their hands as happens in Blue cities and states -- and enforced the no masks, no hoodies law.

    One fat little ball of hatred and more fat refused to take off her bandana, which I assume smelled like gorditos and sexual desperation, and the cops got "coppy" with her.

    It's a wonderful day in America.

    False. There is no scriptural nor doctrinal injunction in any religion regarding baking cakes for any occasion.

    In fact, there are Christian churches that commonly perform such ceremonies, and Christians who frequently cater to them without violating any injunctions of their religions.

    A business owned by individual American Citizens. Does the words "conscientious objection" come to mind?

    False.....those churches do not adhere to the Christian faith as represented in the Holy Scriptures as is the definition of marriage. Some Churches do not believe in the concept of war. They are given CO status. The majority of Christian Churches believe marriage is between one man and one women. They should not be forced to partake in a ceremony that does not violate their conscience.. A plain cake is fine, but one that displays figurines or words that violates their idea of marriage, violates their conscience.

    A church and a "for profit" business are governed by different standards.

    This is a case of "students" voting with their threat of violence and destruction if an invited speaker comes. But hey, it's ok with you right?

    Don't like a speaker? Don't attend. Seems too complicated for liberals though.

    The disconnect here seems to be your unwillingness to consider the entire picture. Ms Coulter was invited. She was invited by a student organization that has the privilege to invite her to speak. Said organization followed all of the published standards and procedures in both sending the invitation and obtaining permission from the U of C Berkeley administration.

    How would you feel, for example, if the student chapter, University of New Mexico, of LaRaza asked
    Nicolás Maduro to speak? They extend an invitation, the US govt issues a visa, plans are made, conservative students threaten to disrupt, and the university then cancels the engagement? I seriously doubt that you would find this acceptable. I'd further suggest that you would find that a government institution (U of NM) had limited the legitimate speech of mr Maduro, no? If this isn't the case, do tell.

    The problem with this case is it actually is the state, in this case represented by the state of California and it's agent, the University of Cal Berkeley engaging in politically abusive restrictions of speech. But, instead of being transparent, they are tangentially identifying security concerns. The effect is still the same. This is still government using it's power to stifle speech. That folks like you are ok with this is astounding. You sound like you stepped out of 1950s Soviet era. And, for the sake of clarity, you're advocating tyranny.
