There is nothing “Christian” about a birthday party. This business owner is just a bigot. Nevertheless I would disagree with the legal system being used to force him to serve anyone
You would have to be there, celebrating a birthday party of a bunch of homosexuals. By being there, you are supporting them, no? Not like you can go there and start saying how wrong it is when they start making out, and grinding on each other.
Really?
From the article:
The company policy states that they are a “family friendly” firm and won’t play vulgar music, tolerate provocative dancing or be involved with strippers, “fortune tellers, psychics, or magicians.”
“We will always try to provide a bright, entertaining, wholesome and fun deejay style where no one is left out,” the site says. “Let us work together to keep America clean and good!”

Lampiris sounded unconcerned about a possible legal challenge. Their firm, which has at times had a roster of 40 DJ-contractors, has turned down other events, he said, such as when a teacher wouldn’t promise to work to stop raunchy dancing among students, or when he found out a bridal party included several lesbians.
If he provided DJs for events with all manner of heterosexual debauchery and refused to provide services to a sodomite event, you'd have a point. But it appears that he refuses to provide DJs for any event that has non-Christian activity. Does that still qualify as bigotry (he's a bigot against who, exactly?)
Have you ever personally witnessed a gay party? Their behavior is utterly disgusting. Given the choice, I would avoid it like the plague.
So if I prefer not to be associated with homosexuals or work for them, I am a bigot? You are on the wrong forum! Homosexuality is not akin to race, it is a thought and sin disorder!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a bigot if you are correct. And this business owner is correct.
Using words like "bigot" or "racist" to force someone to support something that is abomination to them is a leftist tactic.
Supporting a celebration of homosexuality in any manner is against his religion.
I assume you forgot the sarcasm tag at the end of your post.
As a Christian, I will not attend a homosexual wedding or birthday party. Doing so is giving tacit approval to a behavior which I find abhorrent.
That’s not to say that I find the person abhorrent. I work closely with a few homosexuals and we work well together. Their choices are their choices, but I don’t have to support them.
Forcing the DJ to provide a party atmosphere at an event where he is sure to be uncomfortable is wrong.
I hate when people use the umbrella of “Christian” to cover for the fact they don’t want to do something. Just say “I am not doing it”.
If something is wrong, it is wrong, no matter your religion.
not wanting to be exposed to the deviancy on display at homosexual ‘celebrations’ is not bigotry. it’s just common sense hygiene
if you’re unsure, turn off your google image adult filters and google ‘goatse’ or ‘folsom street fair’.
anyone that thinks that is normal is just whacked and has mental issues themselves.
You know, just because a straight person finds the act of homosexuals repulsive, doesn't make them a bigot.
Your heterophobia is bigotry....
You say that like it's a bad thing......................
You said, “This business owner is just a bigot.”
That’s not true at all. He is not forcing his beliefs on anyone, nor is he being hateful, nor is he being intolerant. He’s being Christian.
The bigots are the ones who believe their ideas are the only way people should be allowed to live. He’s not forcing them to not have a DJ or making laws that punish them for beliefs nor is he attacking them in any way at all. He’s saying he won’t be their DJ. That’s a far cry from being a bigot. The true bigots in this case, are the homosexuals and their accomplices who can’t respect this man’s religious beliefs and who seek to punish him for having the religious belief and who seek to remove all religious beliefs from the public sphere.
You said, “There is nothing “Christian” about a birthday party.”
That’s not so for everyone....for Left Looney atheists, that may be so.
Regardless, Christians are called to holiness. Celebrating a mental disorder that is wholly not Natural and is spiritually and physically deadly does bode well for one’s soul in the afterlife, eh?!
Seriously? You've never been to a gay party, have you? As a woman, I've been to a few that were thrown for gay male business associates. The language alone ran like a sewer. Then there was the incidental drug use, the "art" on the walls and having to witness PDAs. No, thanks. The ones I went to would definitely violate the conscience of a believer. Who's the bigot here?
Not wanting to associate with perverts makes one a “Bigot?” Are you serious?
