It’s a shame the religious right can’t find a PR team and followers like the GLBT world. In no time at all they’ve managed to turn public opinion to their side, and very much against believers in traditional religious beliefs and societal norms.
I don’t know about bakers but the day a gay couple can’t find a gay florist, doing business within a 5 minute walk of a Christian florist, there’d be pigs flying. But that gay couple would go out of its way to find the practicing Christian florist to challenge his/her right NOT to serve their “wedding,’ so they could file suit and put that Christian florist out of business.
So far we’ve seen florists, bakers and venue owners put out of business but these fabricated suits. I wish more states would provide safety for those who refuse to serve anyone for any reason, particularly their religious belief. But the GLBT action network is going to make IN stand alone and probably, in time, back track.
An example of why the religious right can’t be effective is search for ‘Manhattan Declaration’ on FR. A lot of those threads were about many very conservative Christians who refused to sign it because of who had already signed, namely the Catholic and Orthodox Christians. That was six years ago.
