Besieged Christian businesses have been battling against gay and lesbian couples who demand that they ignore their deeply held religious convictions and use their artistic talents to make wedding cakes, take photographs, and provide flower arrangements to celebrate and consecrate gay nuptials, thereby violating their ethics and morals beliefs.
Since the idea of same-sex marriage has only recently been sanctioned by the law, overturning thousands of years of tradition that marriage is meant to be between a man and a woman, it is curious that these couples and the government would be surprised and litigious regarding the reaction from these religious devouts.
The usual defense by business owners has been that such demands by gays and lesbians and the government co-conspirators is a violation of free speech, since participating and supporting the couples implies both acceptance and approval, which is simply coerced. The 1st Amendment would seem to be enough to quash these forced expressions, but the combination of a very powerful gay lobby and supporters such as the American Civil Liberties Union, along with unelected and out of control government agencies such as civil rights commissions and activist judges has completely overwhelmed small, religious business people, bankrupting them or driving them out of business for the crime of having and conforming to a strongly held belief and ethic.
The state has fined some of these individuals hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the gay couples have added insult to injury by suing the Christian business people as well for the injury of not concurring with their sexual beliefs and mores. And there is another agenda beyond just getting a beautiful wedding cake or bouquet of flowers to celebrate the nuptials of Fred and Ted.
See page 2 for theory on why Christians must be punished:
Why should this bakery go to out of business because gay people want to get married? Just go to another bakery. I think there is a real political agenda here think so?? Just keep pushing it down peoples till they choke or vomit.
Psalm 9:17 KJV
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
when only a small percent of gay people get things like this…what about the other 99% wake up people WE OUTNUMBER THE GAY PEOPLE..WILL WE LET THEM TAKE OVER THIS WORLD?
WE HAVE GIVEN THEM AN INCH KNOW THEY WANT A MILE..WHEN WILL WE STOP THIS…do they have more balls then the rest of the people?
Will they force a mosque to close for not performing a gay marriage?
one athesist woman had the balls enough to get GOD out of schools..while the sheeple didn’t do a dam thing? all it does is take 1 person to change things?
Straight up Bull$#%&!@*
Right is wrong wrong is right– how can these people sleep at night when they are so blatantly anti-Christian
They know they will not bake the cake — but they do this to punish the Christian–with the full backing of the court—
They have some great legal help and are fighting this…good luck to them.
