RE: refuse service to gays

What does that mean?

As a devout Christian, I will not turn gays away if I were a baker or florist or pizzeria owner and all they want are cakes, flowers or pizzas.

Does the question include servicing gay weddings?

You should be able to turn away anyone, for any reason.

as a practising Christian, I will not help to facilitate sin - any sin.

You can word a survey in such a way to get any outcome you desire. That is what happened here.

I seem to recall a sign in the 60's or 70's that said, "We reserve the right to refuse service to (and I forget the rest) ... "

Anyone? ...

Or is it my mixed up failing memory ?

[cripplecreek]

OK sure. Lets put it up for another round of votes in the states.

Reuters...’nuff said.

The article attempts to correlate the two assumptions. I still think the majority of voting adults would say, no, you do not have to cater to gay weddings if your religious beliefs are violated. There are many ways to parse or skillfully phrase this question. This reminds me of some local tax increase bill, with the ballot so worded that to vote NO, will actually equal a YES vote FOR taxes.
Mind Games. People playing their mind games.

I think the context of the request needs to play a part. A service for hire business needs a lot more leeway than a storefront operation.

I wouldn’t bake a gay wedding cake for either “straight” not “gay” customers.

The vague notion of refusal of service as handled in this poll...is simply DISHONEST!!

[skeeter]

The issue is not about 'denying service to gays'.

The lies flow nonstop these days.

[Bayard]

Conflating the question of a service to a gay person and service supporting a gay activity is something too complicated for people. That or the question is poorly worded.

If I was asked to be the photographer...I’d puke...and save it for the anti-Christian judge.

Note: Leftists can be “very religious.” Their god is an anus.

Nobody should be forced to associate or trade with anybody for any reason. If you are not free to choose whom you deal with, you are not free at all.

[thackney]

There is a difference in selling a product, and being forced to be part of the celebration of sin.

The question was never ‘serving gays’ is was catering a gay wedding.
