The Christian bakers should have the same right.

So you are fine with this discrimination?
Technically, this would be about stereotyping, not discrimination.

Lol and gays aren't anti-Christian? Apparently, you haven't heard some of the things they've said (and seen what they've done in their parades)." And they were NOT handing out pamphlets in the store.

The bottom line, though, is that gays are a "protected" class; Christians are not. But the hypocritical double standard is hilarious.

Ah yes the perpetually persecuted Christians.

Same here.
I'm gay, too, and I don't support kicking people out for what they may or may not have been doing outside the premises.

If they were doing it INSIDE and refused to stop when asked...then...but that was not the case.

The Christian bible makes no mention of gay weddings. (think about that context before responding)


And even if it did, sin in and of itself is not anti Christian. Even misguided sin is considered Christian.

Fundamentalist Christians in America think anything less than complete control over our laws and society is "persecution." They must have the right to bully everyone who doesn't live up to their standard and make their lives miserable.

Live and let live. Why is that so difficult these days?

As for the OP, if the group was proselytizing, the owners had the right to kick them out. If a gay right's group was stirring up trouble at a Christian bakery they would also have the right to ask them to leave.

They were disseminating hateful propaganda. He had every right to kick them out.

This is the flip side of allowing retailers to discriminate. If a baker can refuse service to gay people, and you accept that, didn't you ever consider that the tables could be turned?
