If I had a bakery I would immediately change my policy and no longer cater events, I would contract with a company and still provide the cake but just not have to be at the wedding.

I am an artist and could be asked to do weddings, my response will always be no. I can do something for the wedding/reception but I will not do it AT the location and I pick and choose what I do, so I can say NO.

They can’t FORCE me to create something I don’t want to do.

He talked to and ate with those who were interested in his message no matter who they were or what they had done. He got a lot of flak for that. The pizza place served everyone.

Would he have gone to provide wine at a wedding where he was expected to affirm sin? Absolutely not. The pizza place expressed the same.

There’s an atheist bakery in Ireland being forced to make a Christian themed wedding cake. Go figure.

Serve everyone but don’t try to bully them to participate in something like a wedding they don’t believe in.

My solution is to provide the worst service possible. I will not be forced to do ANYTHING I feel is wrong, and if I am forced, trust me, they will regret it because it will be a fail beyond all fails.

Go ahead, let them sue me, I can live like OJ did with all my money hidden in trusts in offshore accounts.

A mandatory part of our service for all clients and their guests is casting demons out while we pray loudly in tongues.

“Hey can I give you a demonstration of that right now?”

Excellent! I’ve seen this idea expressed before, but the uniforms and newspaper ads are nice touches.

Stupid idea. It presupposes that the homosexualists will not deliberately schedule a whole series of such events to force you to either close down the business (for having given away all of your profits) or close down your business (because you falsely claimed to be giving away all of your profits but kept some to stay in business - thus “discriminating” against the first several clients).

The key is training. Employees have to be trained how to react, even if it might be extremely unlikely that one of the goon squad hits your business.

Business Owners need knowledge from Churches and Christian Advocacy groups and Legal defense groups.

Not being caught off guard is very important. Even if the employee or owner says, let me have your contact information and I we will get back with you. Take time and come up with an answer that won’t cause you to go out of business. Talk to Christian legal defense groups if confronted and figure out your coarse of action.

Think about it though. Chances are, if there is full disclosure, they’ll take their business elsewhere.

Love it! Such great ideas. I don’t know who said it, but sometimes the best defense is a spirited, (or in this case SPIRITED) offense....

Oh my dear Jesus! How can they corrupt the children that way?

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

Post a sign reading...

All proceeds from same sex events will be donated to the Ted Cruz for Presi8dent campaign

I don't know, but I took it that, because blue-collar workers are more sensible and down-to-earth, they don't have to succumb to the desire for approval from snooty, rich, PC peers. My Dad was a mechanic, he had that kind of sense, and I'll always be proud of him! 💓😆
