Jesse Bartholomew is a gay man who makes cakes for a living.
Upon hearing the announcement that homophobic Oregon bakery Sweet Cakes by Melissa would be fined $135,000 for refusing to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple, he posted the following video, shaming the gay community and calling them “Nazis.”
“I cannot tell you how disgusted I am with my fellow gay and lesbian community,” he says, “that they would stoop so low as to force someone to bake a cake for them who simply doesn’t agree with them… They don’t have to bake a cake for you.”
Later on, he looks into the camera and asks, “Are you stupid? … Your guests eat that! That cake is for you… That cake is taken in your mouth and you eat it [sic.]”
