A southwest Ohio bakerys refusal to sell a wedding cake to a Christian couple has caused an uproar among conservatives in a Dayton suburb. Tim Richards and Cheryl Johnson reported they were recently turned down for a wedding cake by Stewarts Cakes in Kettering, Ohio. When we told the man what we wanted and where we wanted the cake delivered, he turned us down, said Richards. We asked if he could deliver a 4-layer chocolate and vanilla wedding cake to the Holy Calvary Church, and he told us it was against his principles to serve us. The owner of Stewarts Cakes, Stephen Hillstrom, who married his partner in Washington D.C. last year, told reporters, Were a private business, and were allowed to serve or not serve whomever wed like. It would violate our beliefs to serve people like that. Reverend Al Everetts, senior pastor of Holy Calvary, said, This is unconscionable! That someone would discriminate against two people who only want to celebrate their love is heinous. These two young people want to spend the rest of their lives together as a committed couple, and someone wants to make this a political issue. You shouldnt be allowed to use your own personal beliefs to discriminate against people like that.
