You can be as homophobic as you like, you just cannot discriminate against people on the basis of their sexual orientation when you conduct business. What about when you create art? If you sell that art to the public,than you sell it to the public. You can't not sell it on the basis of color ,religion or orientation......ooops ,almost forgot gender [:)]

quote: ORIGINAL: Aylee What about when you create art? That raises a peculiar hypothetical. Suppose a business specializes in wedding cakes for heterosexual Christian marriages. The cakes are available in varied styles and sizes, differently priced, but all feature the shop's signature design of male and female figurines on the top, with a paraphrase from Matthew: "He who made them at the beginning made them male and female and the two shall become one flesh." The shop is perfectly willing to sell the cakes to anyone who wants one, gays, lesbians, Muslims, Jews. But that is the shop's signature design. Take it or leave it. Should the shop be subject to sanction for refusing to create a cake for a customer without the male and female figurines, or without the paraphrase from Matthew, on the grounds that the design is discriminatory in effect by virtue of its disparate impact?

BUT Denying service that you supply to others is discrimination... That gay may live in an area where he or she has no choice in the matter... Would you deny them food or medical attention just because they are gay? Is this the Christian way... I think not. I still have not been shown where in the Christian Bible where it says not to provide services to homosexuals... or where it says to deny sustenance to a follower of another religion. If I read it right it should be just the opposite for a good Christian. Butch

Creating wedding cakes and photography (not the school picture kind or the Wal-Mart kind) are forms of art. One of the issues is that wedding cake designers are photographers are being told what kind of art to create. Wedding cakes (typically) are just not the same thing as a 1/4 sheet birthday cake with some ribbon and sprinkles on it. Since art is a form of speech, being required to create a certain type is a first amendment violation. I will also note that essentially bakers and such would just need to separate the two sides of their businesses to be able to refuse customers legally.

Me and Creative Dominant and a few others have decided that you're going to live the way we want you to live and, if you refuse, we'll get the government to make a law, forcing you to do our bidding. If the government won't make a law, we'll just threaten to set fire to your house or business or threaten your life. Then, everyone can live in harmony and tolerance. Dig? Michael

Thus you discover civilization...tolerance...forgiveness and charity... It would pay to remember or contemplate what is right with you and not judge your conscience with the actions of fanatics. Butch

quote: ORIGINAL: kdsub Thus you discover civilization...tolerance...forgiveness and charity. Butch Hmmmm ... civilization, tolerance, forgiveness, and charity ... all found at the back end of threats of violence. That may seem perfect to you but I think we'd have to remove "civil" and "tolerant" and "charity". I don't see even threats of violence as any of those things. Your mileage may vary, of course.

I guess you wouldn't be the same "bang-on Republican lover of the free market" that I am, then. I'd respect their beliefs and move on to another shop. I wouldn't pout and threaten to firebomb the shop unless I got my way in pursuit of my wants...not needs, but wants. Unless somehow, wedding cakes have become as important and as regular as equal pay equal access to employment, etc.

quote: ORIGINAL: dcnovice FR Interesting reflection by a Christian pastor: When I listen to the outcry surrounding Indiana’s new law, I hear frustration with us, Christians. The outcry isn’t about the law, it’s about us. It’s a fear that we will discriminate. And it is a fear based on a history that, whether we like it or not, is ours. We have, in no shortage of ways, broken relationships with the LGBTQ community. We have expelled our sons and daughters. We have protested them. We blamed them for the ills of society like a scapegoat. And no matter what we believe about same-sex marriage, that is wrong. Because of that, restoring relationship and trust with the LGBTQ community is on us. Even if you disagree with all I said above, restoring the relationship is on us because we are called as followers of Jesus to be ministers of reconciliation. * * * You see, the question now being asked of Christians is, “Will you treat us as human beings?” That’s what behind wanting a cake for a same-sex wedding. Or photographs. It isn’t shoving a lifestyle down people’s throats. It’s simply a desire to be seen as human. To be treated as human. To enjoy life as we all want to enjoy life. For that reason, I’d bake the cake. If Jesus can make 120-180 gallons of wine for a wedding party that is already long underway and not be condoning or celebrating drunkenness, I can make a cake for a wedding that I may have some theological issues with. Truth is, we as Christians do this all the time. We bake cakes for Jewish weddings, weddings for people who divorced for non-biblical reasons, atheist weddings, and maybe even a Wiccan wedding. To choose one lifestyle we disapprove of as the one where we cannot offer services is hypocritical. I cannot find a place in the Gospels where Jesus refuses to serve someone who has a different worldview than he does. The Samaritan woman, the Roman Centurion, the Syrophoenician woman, tax collectors, and on and on. http://sojo.net/blogs/2015/04/02/outrage-over-rfra-might-be-fear-christians Such beautiful sentiments. This is close to what I understand to be the core of the lessons of Jesus. It is so sad that such a generous loving message is twisted and perverted by those whose hearts are filled with hate, while they claim to act in the name of a religion of love.

It would be interesting to see video of Tweaka going around to Muslim bakeries in Tehran or Riyadh, demanding they make her a gay wedding cake She might learn what true hate really is

A Christian and a Muslim do the same thing. When we notice this it proves two things. A Christians are hate filled. B Anyone who notices that a Muslim does it is an Islamaphobe. This leads me to thinking A Both Christians and Muslims are filled with hate or B We have more Cristianaphobes on here than Islamaphobes.

But...let's be clear, tweak. It's only the Christians that you and others have focused on. And is it only a segment? Those Christians who truly are driven by their hatred vs those who are truly driven by their beliefs? Sanity's first link gave examples of other places that wouldn't do a wedding cake for gays. Of course, in those cases the shops were run by people of a different race or a different faith (Muslim, Mormon). Yet the shop chosen to go into and be broadcast was run by a white Christian family. His second link was of a Muslim shop. Where's the outcry for firebombing these establishments? Where's the preaching that these actions are way less tolerant and way less hateful and way less destructive than what the shops are doing?
