Texas bakers face threats after declining to bake gay wedding cake

A small town bakery owned by a Christian family is under siege after they declined to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple.

 

Edie and David Delorme own the Kern’s Bake Shop in Longview, Texas — known around town for their petit fours and sugar cookies — and also their custom-made wedding cakes.

The Delormes are also devout Christians — faithful members of a nearby Baptist church – and they run their bakery according to the tenets of their religious beliefs.

 

That became a problem on Feb. 17th when Ben Valencia and Luis Marmolejo requested the bakers make a cake for their upcoming wedding.

 

“I was up front with them,” Edie told me. “I said, ‘I’m sorry but we don’t provide wedding cakes for homosexual marriages.”

 

“We don’t do cakes that might conflict with our spiritual convictions,” she said. “It was not something personal against the two young men. We just need to be able to run our business in a way that honors God.”
