Did the coverage of that story make you think that your ideology was under attack to the point where you would want to hide it?

That's a misnomer then because they were clearly basing their decision on her political career.

^I don't agree at all. I believe they refused her because she's a ****ty person in politics. Not because she's a conservative specifically.

I never said it was specifically because she was a conservative.

But you're saying it has to do with politics which I don't think had any part in their decision. It's just the fact that she's in politics that it's creating this controversy.

No they weren't. They were refused service because of what they asked for on the cake itself. They made a request he wasn't comfortable with based on his spiritual beliefs.

Which non-political action are they using to determine that she's a ****ty person*?

*****ty people should not be refused service for being ****ty people unless they're being ****ty in that moment, ftr.

I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying I'm not surprised.

Yes I'm aware that you're not surprised but you said it's not political. How can that be so if they only appear to be basing their decisions on her political actions? Am I missing something here?

I'm saying it's possible they refused her based on their own personal feelings toward her and her being in politics just puts that in the public eye.
