One of the Lefts malicious portrayals of conservatives is that we are intolerant and prone to violence.
Alas, the evidence is quite to the contrary.
Edie and David Delorme own Kerns Bake Shop in Long View, Texas, and are members of a local Baptist church.
On Feb. 17, 2016, a homosexual couple, Ben Valencia and Luis Marmolejo, came to the shop and asked to buy a cake for their wedding.
When Edie realized it was for a same-sex wedding, she politely refused. Edie told Fox News: We dont do cakes that might conflict with our spiritual convictions. It was not something personal against the two young men. We just need to be able to run our business in a way that honors God.
First Liberty Institute lawyer Michael Berry said, She (Edie) said, Im sorry, but we dont make same-sex wedding cakes, but heres a list of other bakers in the area who would most likely be able to meet your needs. It was pretty civil. The gentleman said, Okay and left.
Julie Brown Patton reports for The Gospel Herald, March 15, 2016, that a few days later, the Delormes were informed by a local newspaper reporter that Valencia and Marmolejo were publicly accusing them of discrimination.
Harassment and threats poured in, including vile posts on the bakers Facebook and Yelp pages.
Edie said, Our son got a call where they threatened to burn our house down and violate him with a broken beer bottle. That was probably the worst. The couple also have an eight-year-old daughter.
Attorney Berry said: The Delormes property has been damaged. Theyve experienced minor vandalism at their home, including their mailbox being destroyed. We reported both the vandalism and the threats they have received to the Harrison County Sheriff. The Sheriffs office sent a deputy to talk to the Delormes and they are now patrolling the area to make sure no additional acts are perpetrated against the Delormes. Americans value and protect our freedoms, especially freedom of expression and religious liberty. For America to remain free and prosperous, we must secure the rights of small business owners to operate their businesses according to their beliefs.
David Delormes said he and his wife try to live scripture every day. Our faith is who we are. The couple said they do not want to discriminate against same-sex couples but that they have to follow their religious beliefs. In the past, they have consistently refused to bake alcohol, tobacco, gambling, or risqué-themed cakes.
The gays are pushing on this and I will not cry for them one bit when they start getting shot.
Not.
One.
Bit.
3Yet he urged them strongly, so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he prepared a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 4Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; 5and they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.”
The out-of-the area sodomites are over their heads in conservative Longview. My guess is that some Dallas sodomites drove in to do the dirty work.
I just read about it now. I’m in NYC.
If it happened to someone on Staten Island, I would gladly watch over their house a few shifts a week if they wanted.
Or when they languish from AIDS, or its debilitating treatment.
Sell the cakes plain with a frosting bag t write whatever you like and a set of wedding figures included. For gays, sell them an extra bag of wedding figures. No fuss no muss.
Luke 21
10 Then He said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences;
and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
12 But before all these things,
they will lay their hands on you and persecute you,
delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons.
You will be brought before kings and rulers for My names sake.
13 But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony.
14 Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer;
15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.
16 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends;
and they will put some of you to death.
17 And you will be hated by all for My names sake.
18 But not a hair of your head shall be lost.
19 By your patience possess your souls.

Look up! Your redemption draws near!
“Homosexuals threaten to burn down Christian bakers house and sodomize their son”
Take them more seriously than your government does. These are truly sick life forms that place credence on what’s in their pants over all else.
I will laugh if these types are shot. Sub-human protoplasm anyway : )
Two broke attention whores, that want money and 15 minutes of gay fame.
bkmk
Mekhtoub!(It is written) “Their blood be upon their own heads”.
This is by definition a hate crime.
Just confirmed that gays do and will push for the right to have sex with under aged boys.
You’d have to do that with every wedding cake you’d make. You wouldn’t be making cakes for long at all if you did that.
Gay marriage isn’t even legal in Texas.
ACLU, SPLC, Fed Gov, media silence.
Best portrayal of these intolerant a-holes whose self-esteem is all about their genitals.
