  • So what you’re advocating is for everyone to get the same cake for all occasions and decorate it as they can in private? A gay couple should never be able to buy a cake with a topper, just a cake in public? Hide their shameful lifestyles? A boy shouldn’t be able to buy a strawberry pink cake because that would be unnatural

    anymore than they could discriminate against people of color by denying them the same products and services they provide to white people

    That just never seems to work out right, judging by historical evidence, does it? Wouldn’t it help if there were… Laws to protect from that?

    I would also say if the bakery won’t put a gay topper on a cake, they can’t put a specifically straight topper on either.

    How would that ever be enforced?

    The point is: if you find proving a service to a gay person as deplorable as someone advocating for racial superiority or genocide, you should be forced to rethink your line of business




  • A hobby is a great way : if you have the time, energy and enjoy new things I’d really recommend social dancing. I’ve done salsa and swing classes and social nights, and found it very useful to build a nice group of people who get together for a not-so-intense hobby. They’re generally out in a public space, they get you moving, and don’t require intense socialisation all the time ( you’re more focused on the dance). A social generally has people of all degrees of dancing expertise. You get to chat with people you’d otherwise never cross paths with. Sometimes there’s live music too!
