When they come to destroy your business because you are pro-traditional family
Fr. Z's Blog ^ | 04/02/15 | Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

I’ve been thinking about how homosexualists target Christian businesses for destruction. Approach a florist or a bakery or, now, a pizzeria and tell the owner that this is for a homosexual “wedding” and then hammer them with law suits.

Enough already. It’s time for everyone to calm down.

We need a new approach.

Think about this.

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.

Tell them that the food and services will be just fine. And then inform them that all of the money that they pay for the services will be donated to a traditional pro-family lobby. If it is something like catering, where your employees have to be there to provide services, tell them that all your people will smile, be professional, and everyone of them will be wearing crucifixes and have the Holy Family embroidered on their uniforms. Then show them pictures of your uniforms. When the truck pulls up, speakers will be playing Immaculate Mary. Show them the truck and play the music.

“Oh, you would be offended by that? I’m so sorry. You approached us because we are Christians. Right? We are happy to provide services for you and we are grateful that you chose to come to our Christian catering business. We just want to be of help.”

Then tell them that you will take out an ad in the paper to let everyone know what you did with their money, thanking them by name for their business so that you could make the contribution.

I suspect this approach, if adopted far and wide, would put an end to attacks on Christian businesses.

They’ll still whine that you have discriminated against them and demand that your Christian/hetero profits should also be donated.

Yeah, but west burrow is really just a leftist front to make Christians look bad and to do the lefts bidding. They wouldn’t take the deal know matter how great the opportunity.

Exactly what it sounds like, nude summer camp, many won’t let their parents in either. Just a bunch of hormone-driven teens and probably perverted camp counselors.

After what happened to the pizza parlor? I suspect not.

The problem is that they’ll say you are biased / discriminating if you are actively evangelizing at homosexual events but not others.

I think this is an excellent idea, if it catches on, all this gay whining will go away.

I must say that, Biblically, this is heaping hot coals on their heads.

But knowing how these people operate, they would call it hostility.

Well, it seems like the gays want to force christian shops to make cakes shaped in penises. So it goes down to class struggle between people and business. Should a person force a business or should a business force a person? Putting a crucifix in a room or forcing a gay to buy a cake shaped as a cross, what is the difference?

Again, no Christian ever forced gays to eat Christian cakes, they just told them to look for business elsewhere. This is like going to a Christian book store and demanding they sell porn because you are infidel atheist. You cannot do that.

Tell them 100% ofthey profit will be donated to my church, or the local Women’s Crisis Pregnancy Center, and they can choose which they prefer. Hehe.

They tried that with Chik-Fil-A. Didn’t work out too well for ‘em!

include a card with a Bible verse.

Something from Leviticus or Corinthians perhaps?

Not wild about this idea...but whatever floats your boat.

Would you cater a KKK rally? Would you cater to a child nudist park? A NAMBLA convention?

Hoisting 'em on their own petard may be the way to go. Find a Muslim-owned bakery and request that they decorate a cake with the words "Allah is Satan, and Muhammad is his pedophile". Then sue if they refuse. But be sure to bring backup!

We used to have one shop in town that sold adult themed goodies, but they were unique in that regard and charged extra for the service. I’d check out local laws because unless you cater to x-rated stuff already or make open-ended claims there shouldn’t be a way to legally force you to deal in pornography.

Letting them know that you will openly pray for them and ask grace over the food might be enough to chase them away.

Bingo. These leftists approach the business specifically to target and destroy it thru a lawsuit. Tell them you'd be more than please to make their cake, and of course every cake comes with a blessing, and then watch these radicals run for the hills.
