Is this like a prank phone call? I dont want to do that, because thats hateful. Im a married lesbian almost everyone here is married or in a serious gay relationship. Its bulls**t, Im sorry.
However, she eventually concluded: If you want to be hateful, and ignorant, then sure, Ill make it for you. Ill put a big dick on it too.
Yeah! There's that!

Unless I missed something. Wasn't his point that Gay Owned businesses would refuse to make he cake? And essentially they did just that. So how is that different from some homophobic owned bakery refusing a wedding cake?
I would have been more impressed if they said, "I think you are Wrong, but here is your cake".

Make that 200% of the price. Or 300%.
Make sure to get payment in advance, in cash, not on plastic where he can renege on the deal. Then, bake the guy the best cake they ever made, really high-quality stuff. If the guy declines to eat it, scrape off the message and give it to a homeless shelter.
It's a win-win-win situation.
