Well, I haven’t thought it all the way through, but it does seem to have a particularly good attribute in terms of Christian conscience. One of the main reasons Christians refuse such service is the appearance of endorsement, as if we are being forced into speech that is contrary to our belief. However, this idea seems to neutralize that entirely. It’s ideological judo, taking what would have been an endorsement and converting it to a testimony. More evangelistically minded Christians could even deliberately bait them in for the opportunity to share the Gospel, as a required part of the service, performed for all customers, regardless of race, religion, or gender confusion.

I’d still have to think about the legal consequences a bit. But on first blush, it might just be crazy enough to work. :)

Peace,

SR

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.
