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.

Where is Kim Davis when you need that crazy$#%&!@*or even Mike Huckabee?
This needs to go to the supreme court! No one even bats an eye when a muslim business refuses service to a Christian or gays and lesbians! Colorado’s supreme court has no authority or power to shut down a private due to his religious beliefs!
Only non Christians have law of the land…whatever that means. The gvt breaks the law of the land all the time.
Why don’t the bakers just do a lousy job on the cake for these folks and maybe they wont come back?
Maybe the bakery should find the cake at another bakery and jack up the price to cover the emotional stress caused by this request…?
I WOULD HAVE BAKED THEM THAT CAKE AND CHARGED A MILLION DOLLARS
The Supreme Court is corrupt making laws is not their job the job is to judge the Constitution of the United States which Obama is destroying. do away with the Supreme Court altogether they’re not worth a c**p anyway
Why? We are all guilty of the mess. Let’s clean it up and start with, Let’s make America great again.
They have their rights to serve, or not serve who they want. That is their right.
What about putting Bruce Springsteen out of business?
