Fr. Z's Blog ^ | Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

Posted on 04/21/2015 8:23:18 AM PDT by SumProVita

When some homosexual couple comes to your Christian business for services at their immoral event, don’t panic. Go ahead and take their business!

Then explain what is going to happen next.

Try a sign over your counter that says “All proceeds from gay “weddings” to be donated to the Ted Cruz electoral fund”

I understand, Davey, but this was primarily about what one could do with a personally owned small business. I think we have to trust God and stand up for what is right. Completely totalitarian sates can only rise up when citizens will not stand up to such injustice. It has already been shown that MANY people will shower those being attacked with great support and financial assistance.

Faggies are a protected class. Stand up to them in this fashion and they will respond with bricks through shop windows and midnight death threats and harassing your children at bus stops and obscene kiss-ins in front of your business.

It’s their privilege and yes, it’s come to this.

The risk with this strategy is getting sued for disrupting the homosexual wedding.

This is not the best tactics, because, in a manner of speaking, “You are getting into a pissing contest with a skunk.”

A better way is to avoid the problem in the first place.

Say you have a bakery and among other things, you create wedding cakes, which you do not wish to sell to homosexual weddings. You can subdivide, on paper, your public business from your “contractual” business.

In most places, there are at least two dozen conservative and Orthodox churches that can *legally* refuse to marry homosexuals. If you as a business make a contract with them to *exclusively* provide wedding cakes to weddings held at their churches, you can do so, as long as there is minimal “consideration”, a business law term.

This means that the church will mention (it doesn’t have to recommend) that you are a provider of wedding cakes, to couples that hope to be married in that church, in exchange for which you will give the couple a nominal discount, or perhaps a small donation to the church.

This is enough consideration to make the contract legal. But the contract clearly specifies that you will *only* provide wedding cakes for weddings held at one of those churches.

The downside is that you cannot provide wedding cakes for secular or any wedding not held in one of these churches, as that will violate your contract.

Legally, this would seem to be bullet proof.

1) Anything other than wedding cakes you can sell to anyone, as a legal “public accommodation.”

2) But you are protected by contract law, which is very hard to break, that you can only provide wedding cakes to wedding ceremonies in these churches. So it is *not* a public accommodation. It is an exclusive contract.

3) Nowhere in the contract are homosexuals even mentioned. So you are under the legal umbrella of these churches, protecting you from harassment and lawsuit.

This pretty well checks out for what I know about business law, but I’m open for learned conflicting opinions.

Actually, for Christians, the BEST thing to do is to ask God for HIS guidance on how to handle each new situation.

After all, all of the *yuck* that is going on (and that will continue to grow) in this country right now was directly caused by our ignoring God and gradually pushing Him further and further away from our plans about how things ought to be done.

After kicking a hornets’ nest, yes, you might implore God as what to do next. But you had better be quick about it.

And in the meantime, protecting yourself from angry hornets is unlikely to offend Heaven.

If there is a good likelihood that you are going to be attacked for your faith, protect yourself first before requesting guidance.
