Threats Shut Down Oregon Bakery That Refused to Make Gay Wedding Cake:

2. New Mexico. A wedding photographer refused to work a gay wedding.

3. Iowa. A bistro and art gallery owned by Mennonites refused a gay wedding request for the use of their building. they have since been targeted with countless hate filled emails.

4. Kentucky. A custom T-shirt shop refused to print shirts with pro homosexuals messages.

5. Washington. An elderly florist refused to make the flower arrangements for a gay wedding.

6. Colorado. A bakery refused to bake a cake for a homosexual couple and was boycotted.

Christian Businesses Targeted Over Refusal to Serve Gay Weddings
YES. That's a slippery slope I don't care to go down. Say you have a business owner that doesn't like senior citizens and refuses to serve anyone with gray hair. Or . . insert your particular hatred here.

Both being black and gay are unchosen traits neither of which have anything to do with morality. So refusing to serve me because of my unchosen sexual orientation is just as wrong ad not serving someone because of any unchosen exterior trait like skin color

They're being forced to serve a party against their will/religious beliefs. Same difference.

People being forced to serve/cater to gays.

You can't expect anything less from them. They, along with their liberal friends will destroy your social, business and personal life if you don't agree with them.

Ya. Not quite.

It's funny how so many times these so-called Christians (worshiping Republican Jeezus) turn out to be not so Christ-like.

Would Jesus have refused service to a homosexual?

New Testament Jesus?

No they are bakers. They bake cakes. They are not at the reception serving cake, they are not at the marriage ceremony. They bake a cake, deliver it to the reception hall, then leave.

What does it say about Christians that they've used the same law to force people to cater to them for over 40 years?

Good thing to know that I can break state laws, and claim "religious belief" and all of these posters will rush to my defense.
