In Lakewood, Colorado, about five years, a gay couple who were about to get married were looking for a bakery to bake them a wedding cake for their day came across a business that refused them the service.…

Sometimes, they don’t know the reason why they get discriminated, but people shouldn’t get discriminated at all. People feel like they get discriminated by their appearance.
