Pass the word around—don’t support fag businesses. That way we can hurt them and they can’t hurt us. Two can play at the boycott game. The fags may have the Democrats and many big corporations on their side that many of them have bakeries, flower shops, clothing shops etc., small businesses and they need the money of us the “breeders”.

Add some extra fun to the Melissa’s Sweet Cakes yard sale, have a cardboard picture of that commissioner and the two lesbos and everyone gets a turn throwing shaving lather pies at them. Send to youtube.

Before bashing Christians as “squawk”. you do realize that the homosexuals shut down a GOFUNDME site set up to try to support this family - right? Which was on the way to collecting far more than the fine imposed.

And then that Billy Graham set up a site at Samaritans Purse to support Christians like the Kleins under siege for their beliefs? Right?

If you did not know now you do and you can go donate

Does that relieve you from a court-ordered judgement?

Yes, under most circumstances.

Well their business is gone. Might as well declare Chapter 7 and stick it to the plaintiffs as well.

1) Donated to the Klein's cause yesterday, July 5th on the 'Continue to Give' site immediately after I found out about it. I don't know if it's the same as Samaritan's Purse. Have you donated?

2) I still maintain that most Christians are squawkers.

When the 'Special Rights for Sodomites' ordinance was voted in by our town's extremely leftist city council, how many Christians rose to fight? We have a city of ~130,000. The Christian activists (including me) numbered about 15-20.

These people worked tirelessly over the next 3 months to get this filth ordinance overturned. > 8000 petition signatures, same 15 - 20 people. By the grace of God, they got the ordinance overturned.

So yeah, in my experience, (most are) SQUAWKERS.

So you are one of the 12 disciples- congratulations

when you get done patting yourself on the back, you scorn your fellow believers as squawkers

every flock needs only a few leaders, but not leaders who are contemptuous of the sheep, thank you

yes I donated

not that it’s any of your business to judge my worthiness by that criteria

These people were not leaders, disciples or self-aggrandizers, you ass.

They were doers. Not crybabies. You could learn something here.

I learned that a self-styled Christian stalwart doer can call someone like me an ass!

Well, I was going to counter with something like "If the shoe fits", but I won't.

Let's just agree to disagree. Have a nice day.

It wasn’t over the cake. The shop posted these womens address on the the shops website which led to death threats. They sued over that.

Responding late so this may have been stated already, but why not just bake the damned cake? If they are activists (as all of these cases are - they probably shopped around until they found a bakery that would not bake it) then they would not buy there and move on to the next bakery that they think won't bake it for them so they can make their point and win their lawsuit. Otherwise, for the owner, state clearly in your ads or promos that you will not bake cakes for gays, muslims, jews, christians, zoroastrians, or whatever, and let the market make its choice? IF that is against the law, so beit, and take your chances.

We're stupid. We should be going to muslim bakeries and ordering bar mitzvah cakes, or 'God Bless Jesus' cakes, then using the same tactic. If they chose to bake them, I wouldn't eat them, but just saying.

Just a follow up. These cases are non-sequiturs but help the left advance their agenda. How many of you that own businesses ask your customers what their sexual orientation or religious affiliation is before deciding if you will take their business? Seriously, I would love to hear responses from business owners who apply that standard.
