This isn’t about hurt feelings or fairness, this is about forcing “breeders” to bend to their will, submit to their demands and make like they approve of gay marriage. Rubbing our noses in it is another way of putting it.

You are exactly correct.

But as a Christian, I could not do the ex-lax cake (even though I can appreciate the humor of the situation). Romans 12:16 ("To no man rendering evil for evil. Providing good things, not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of all men."), 1 Pet 3:9 ("Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing.")

Likewise, as a Christian, I could not intentionally do a bad job. 1 Cor 10:31 ("Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.")

That's why the alternative is yes or no. "Yes" is not an option, for the reasons you state. Therefore, it must be "no." And with "no", they'll seek to destroy me...so that's why I say just to go out of business and reincorporate at a later time.

Why cannot the baker counter sue for 1st and 13th Amendment violations of his rights? Why must the right always play defense?

This would involve being first forced to produce the cake, indulge the involuntary servitude, then sue them and the judge. Can one sue a judge?

I think the ex-lax cake could expose you to significant litigation and liability.

The better approach is that recommended by another freeper, which is to publicly announce the donation of the profits to groups promoting homosexual to heterosexual conversion therapy.

That would almost guarantee a boycott of your business by the gays.

You’d get sued and do jail time for the Ex-Lax or other types of tricks. That’s considered poisoning someone now days. Just make them a cake to their order but don’t put your heart into it or do anything extra. What’re they going to do, go running to the judge like little crybabies? Show the court that you did exactly what they asked of you and you should be fine. And charge them what you normally charge anyone else for that cake, no more or less. My mother and her best friend baked & decorated wedding and birthday cakes back in the 1960’s and 70’s, so I’m a little familiar with that business. Same goes for the flowers. Just give ‘em what they ordered. Just pretend it’s for a funeral, because it is, sort of.
