RE: I don’t think Christian bakers should have to conceal their reasons like that.
Me too. But given the fascist nature of those who would want to destroy their businesses, and if they want to avoid any publicity or controversy, they might have to learn from these Muslims.
However, saying: “I’m sorry, we already have a number of wedding cakes ordered for that weekend” when it isn’t true won’t give you an escape route.
A dodged gay person can always investigate whether or not what you say is true if they know that you are a devout Christian and wishes to target you.
The Memories Pizza shop is a good example. The reporter who interviewed the young lady KNEW that the owner was a church going Christian, and DELIBERATELY targeted the place to cause controversy and outrage.
COURAGE is what is needed and Christians of all stripes and people who value freedom should be willing to stand up to the fascist gays of this world and say “enough is enough”.
“A dodged gay person can always investigate whether or not what you say is true if they know that you are a devout Christian and wishes to target you.”
True - I guess that’s not the best excuse (they could obviously just have someone else call and ask for a cake for a straight wedding on the same date).
Even if a business is targeted, though, I think there are ways to refuse to serve same-sex weddings without “refusing to serve same-sex weddings.”
