How about this.....Bake the damn cakes and double the price. When the dust settles give half the profits to the church of your choice, thus having let the purchaser contribute to the church in your name. The churches may be willing to accept the money as most often they need it.
I expect some businesses will choose those options. However, the intention of the homosexual activists is not to acquire a cake. The intention is to create a “discrimination” case. If the merchant simply quotes a price - high or low - the activists might continue looking until they found someone who would not.
How about this.
No.
I do not acknowledge their right to force me to bake them a cake or provide them any service that violates my religious beliefs. I stand firmly on my first amendment rights.
No wiggling, no weaseling, no compromise.
Not in this area.
