It just wouldn't include me.
If the gay friend says he's suing XYZ Bakery to force them to make a cake, I'll start buying a cupcake (or six) every day. Don't be an a**hole.
Like what Iron Chef said, if it were my bakery, I'd happily take, say, Gavin Newsom's money for a cake. I'd be thrilled to read in the paper that Gavin Newsom was struck by lightning, but his money is just as green as everyone else's.

I'm agreeing with these posts. There's also something to be said for regional marketing. If you have a problem serving the LGBT community, for phuck's sake don't set up shop in Portland, Seattle, Eugene, the Bay Area, the greater LA area, or San Diego... pretty much the whole left coast.
