The argument was lost long ago once it became a choice between the “freedom” of the Christians vs. the “freedom” of the LGBT’s. In the abstract, they are equal opposing forces, and anti-Christian judges and “Human Rights” commissions are simply going to side with the anti-Christians every time.

And I think it’s sad that these Christian businesspeople are putting their necks on the chopping block. I don’t think it’s self-evident that hosting a “wedding” of sodomites or baking a cake with little plastic sodomites on top is actually sinful.

These Christians have done nothing wrong and should not be forced to do anything for these disgusting homos.

The key point is that it is not up to you or the courts or anyone else in government or society to determine if such an act is "sinful" - that determination is up to the individual and their understanding of the requirements of their faith. For the government in particular to try to decide if "merely" hosting a same-sex "wedding" or basking a cake for such an event would cause the person to be participating in a sinful act would be to have the state establishing the tenets of religion - something the Constitution clearly forbids.

Note, this is not an attack on you - just pointing out that your opinion of whether or not it is sin should have no more impact on whether another person's belief is valid that should the government's position on the matter.

It is important that people stand up. Religious freedom is at stake. If you think giving in to this will make it go away and they will stop. They will push as they are already pushing with Transexuality and genderqueer ideas to define gender terms as hate. Right now they call them insensitive.
