I appreciate you trying to find a solution but,
a) I own a business and I would never post that I sub out any business as I do not want any clients or potential clients to think it’s not me they’re working with
b) This is the same mind set during Sodom & Gomorrah where they tried to appease the aggressive gays that wanted to have sex with the angels. Instead of telling them to their face they are defying God’s natural law, the guy tried to throw them his daughter as appeasement.
Hanging a sign to make them go away is just not right. We need to be bold in our stand and say that ‘IT IS GOD THAT DEFINES MARRIAGE, NOT THE GOVERMENT’ and Stand with the truth.
It’s nice to hear that you are willing to endure bankruptcy which would be the result of denying service to a potential LGBT client under todays laws. The Colorado bakery had a judgement of $150,000.00 set against them. Then there’s the legal fees on top of that.
Lord help us because this is an area fraught with pitfalls.
What would make more sense would be a 1st Amendment defense connected with the freedom of a particular “press” (in this case the photographer and the cake inscriber). It probably needs to be pushed to the Feds to make it stick, however. And that’s getting weaker daily. There may come a time for stark sacrifice, i.e. so that he will never be lassoed into serving a “gay” wedding, he will not service any weddings.
For that matter... just continuing to muse here... why not only service ex-gay celebrations (e.g. it’s been 10 years since... etc.) There is no analogue in the LGBT world. Unless they want to say they changed and became “gay” X years ago. Which they will never do because that is to cede a tenet.
