My heart goes out to all the Christian florists, bakers, wedding planners, and every other Christian who will be forced against their will to participate in these now legal sodomite celebrations. At this rate, I won’t be surprised if they make it illegal to be a Christian by 2016.

My heart goes out to all the Christian fishmongers who are forced against their will to sell prawns and crayfish, and to Christian chefs and cooks who are forced to cook with the shellfish. At this rate, I won't be surprised if they make it illegal to be a Christian by 2016.
My heart goes out to all the Christian shop assistants who are forced against their will to sell poly-cotton shirts, even on the Sabbath. At this rate, I won’t be surprised if they make it illegal to be a Christian by 2016.
My heart goes out to all the Christian lawyers, who are forced against their will to take up these now legal divorce cases. And to all the Christian bankers who are forced against their will to participate in this now legal practice of usury. At this rate, I won’t be surprised if they make it illegal to be a Christian by 2016.
If all Relationshipists, Christians, Muslims, Jews and Nazis have not been disappeared by this time next year, then it will be proof positive that Sky Fairies do not exist.
How DARE they ask bakers to bake a cake! (Stamps foot in petulant snit-fit)
If you are not invited on the honeymoon, you are not part of the marriage. Get a grip.
They won't be forced to accept business from gay couples, they will just go out of business when they refuse and it gets out on the Internet, because the majority of people do not wish to give their business to bigoted assholes.
They won't be "forced" however they will lose out on a lot of business that will instead go to their competitors. Plus they will lose plenty of their return costumers.
I don't know about you but if I was a gay getting married I would not want to hire a baker or a florist who did not want to cater my wedding. Forcing them would lead to a disappointing job.
I am aware that in small towns if the one florist or one bakery refuses to serve you that it could be a larger problem. I do understand why this is a bad thing. Still I see this hurting businesses that are bigoted more than their potential costumers.
"At this rate, I won’t be surprised if they make it illegal to be a Christian by 2016."
You're saying that like it's a bad thing.
Now that we finally have marriage equality, it would be great to know which florists, bakers, wedding planners, photographers, caterers, etc. don't approve of The Gay Money.
I think any bigoted business owners who wish to deny any group their services for any reasons should be forced to clearly identify everywhere they advertise, in newspapers/online, on their business doors, web sites, business cards, flyers, etc. just how bigoted they are, listing exactly what customers they will and won't serve. This way all customers can quickly identify these bigoted businesses and deny them their money. While these business want to deny certain groups their services for religious reasons, I'm sure most regular folks will want to deny these businesses their money due to their bigoted service practices.
Yes, they're going to outlaw a religion that only around 80% of the US voting population belongs to, and that the vast majority of American politicians have to pay at least public lip service to if they want to stand a snowball's chance in hell of being elected to anything whatsoever. Seriously, grow the fuck up.
Can they still worship when and where they want?
Are they being forced to have abortions?
Are they being forced to use contraception?
Can they openly wear symbols of their faith?
Are their internet posts being censored?
Can they openly read the bible and pray wherever they wish?
So how the fuck are they being persecuted?
Nobody's requiring anybody to participate in any wedding, dumbass, gay or otherwise. They're preventing you from discriminating. If somebody refused to serve black people, would you support that? Probably not. So why is it okay when they refuse service to gays (and don't say 'because it's a sin', because 1: the Bible says that only God has the right to judge, and 2: it also says that Jesus died to forgive ALL sins)?
I think all bigoted business owners that refuse to serve people should be forced to clearly list everywhere they advertise, including on their shop door, and on their web pages exactly who they will serve and who they won't.
This way everyone else will not have to waste their time standing in line only to find out that they won't be served. This way everyone else will clearly see just how bigoted they are, and can take their business somewhere else.
And I hope that they go out of business, just like the 70-odd churches that were closed recently.
Confused?
