Iowa Transgender Baker Refuses To Bake Gender Reveal Birthday Cake--Sues Soon-To-Be Parents For Making The Request



Atlantic, Iowa

Kim Smith, Owner and Operator/Baker at Trans-Atlantic Bakery, in Atlantic, IA, has refused to bake a gender-reveal birthday cake for James and Amanda Hodgkin.  The baby (whose gender [in the traditional sense] is supposed to be a surprise) is due to arrive in early August, and the Hodgkins have done as many others before them in wanting a cake baked to reveal the gender of their child.  Typically when people do this it is a pink cake for a girl, or a blue cake for a boy.  However, Kim Smith isn't having it.  In fact, they are suing the Hodgkin couple for emotional distress and what they (Kim Smith) calls a hate crime against them, as well as against the unborn child.

"This is a two-fold issue for us", Kim told us, "These cisgender, binary bigots have the audacity to come into my bakery to make me bake this for them--it's appalling.  We don't have to take it--no, we don't have to bake it!  Besides the fact, someone has to stand up for the unborn child who they are clearly prepared to assault with their gender assuming bias before it even had a chance to breath, let alone declare its pronouns.  What they have done in requesting we make this cake is sick.  This child hasn't even had the time to even know what it is and already they are demanding what its sexuality should look like.  This is the true definition of a hate crime, and sexual assault--both against me, and the child.  They won't get away with it.  Maybe they should visit Planned Parenthood to take care of it now before becoming something they are clearly not prepared for. You know what I mean."

We spoke to Mr. Hodgkin (James) about it, to get his take.  He told us, "Well, you know, like many others, we found out on ultrasound that genitals were able to be seen.  We were--or are--pretty excited and we just thought this was what people did nowadays.  We didn't know about Kim's views on it.  It's our first kid, and we wanted to go a little fancy with a professionally made cake.  It's a relatively new thing really--the gender reveal cake baking.  It seemed to be the up-and-coming thing to do.  We didn't realize that there was this other new thing against this new and now older thing though.  I guess it's kind of taboo.  We meant no offense.  I still think it's kind of ridiculous though.  They could have just said no and explained why.  As far as we knew, there were only two kinds."

Because this is classified as a hate-crime, if the lawsuit against the Hodgkin couple is won, it will result in a much larger fine as well as a minimum 2-year prison sentence.  At this time, James and Amanda plan to bake their own cake at home as not to offend anyone with their cisgender bias, and are hopeful a judge will show them mercy in this case.

Society That Condemns Decades Old Sins By Hollywood Actors And Public Representatives, Totally Convinced God Will Not Hold Their Own Sins Against Them From Long Ago

From Harvey Weinstein, to now Kevin Spacey, and of course our own current President of the United States, Donald Trump.  This is only a shortlist on a much longer one that spans throughout history of both Hollywood and public government officials whose sins have come back to haunt them.  Drawing public scorn, the backlash in these discoveries of such immoral behavior has threatened to end many careers; or at the very least, placing them squarely upon the unending scorn of the masses.  Many of these men and women will be fired, and/or blacklisted indefinitely or permanently by former friends, partners and supporters. Nevertheless, this very same society is hopeful that its own sins will not find them out when God judges.  When it comes time to stand before a truly holy Judge, a righteous God before Whom all is laid naked, before Whom even the very thoughts and intents of the heart are known--when it is their appointed time to die and to be judged by this all-kno...

Baptist Church Bringing the Canon of Holy Hymnal Into Question By Singing a New Song

Kendallville, IN A local church has a group of young people experimenting with "new things", and it has caused somewhat of a stir within the church at first.  They are looking to embrace, or create new songs that are not found within the church's sacred Hymnal texts. "It started as we were reading through some Psalms in one of our weekly Bible studies.  We were reading where it is written to 'sing a new song'.  It got us thinking if it were possible, just maybe there were some hymns we had never sung out of the hymnal in church before.  You know, a new song.  I was really hoping to find a couple pages stuck together or something, and so we all looked.  It was quite exciting at first, but as it turns out all of the songs had been very well covered, and there was therefore no new songs to sing.  It was then that we found ourselves in the proverbial spot of between a rock and a hard place.  It felt like we could either obey Scripture, or the ...

Local Man Sits During National Anthem Every Time Someone Does Something That Irritates Him

Tucson, AZ A brave local man is righteously indigent against injustice, and not going to take it anymore, standing up. Cut him off in traffic; sits during next national anthem. Disagree with him on Facebook; sits during next national anthem. Make fun of his tie; sits during next national anthem. Call him a mean name; sits during national anthem. There is literally no offense you could levy against Devin Johnson that would not result in him sitting during the national anthem. "I just suddenly realized that every offense against me personally is bigger than one person.  It's bigger than me, and it's bigger than them.  It's a systematic problem with the nation in which we both commonly call our home.  It just makes sense.  Injustice has existed for a long time, we all know that.  There seems to be no end to it, but what are we really doing about it?  The injustice that exists such that each offense against me personally is not suc...
