A Christian owned bakery respectfully declines to bake a cake for a lesbian couple. Instead of simply going to another bakery, the entire gay community launches an all out war on the bakery and even going so far as to send death threats to the owners and their families. As if that wasn't enough, a boycott was threatened against any vendor who did business with said bakery. Ultimately, this led to the bakery having to shut its doors and costing a lot of jobs. So much for "tolerance" from the Left.

I love the way this couple has handled the situation. They aren't angry, they aren't threatening the group boycotting them, they are showing faith and patience.

I feel as though if I decided the entire pro-life movement were terrorist murders because Scott Roeder murdered Dr. Tiller, you'd be upset and rightly call me out on a grievous guilt-by-association error in logic. But somehow stating the entire left is threatening them because an unspecified number of repugnant shitheads threatened them isn't such an error in logic?
Also, this "tolerance" bit has to go. Let me put it this way: should a gay baker be able to refuse a Christian cake request, or would you cry discrimination? Should a Muslim baker be allowed to refuse a Jewish customer? Should a white baker be allowed to refuse a black customer? Should a Christian baker be allowed to refuse a woman who had received an abortion, or a divorce, or because she celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday instead of Saturday or even because they suspect that she does any of those things?
All of these are, currently, sincerely held religious beliefs somewhere in this country. If you decide it is okay to refuse a person for one thing (unrelated to their previous patronage or the demands or capacity of said patronage), why should any other reason not be allowed?

Should a print shop owned by gays have to print "God hates fags" signs?

Well said.

Short answer: yes
Long answer: yes, as long as the sign contains no violent imagery and no calls to violence, and as long as the customer completes the order in a non-disruptive manner, (i.e. no preaching in the shop, no calling the workers slurs).
The movement towards equality will require the oppressed to work with would-be oppressors. Exactly how it requires would-be oppressors to work with the would be oppressed.

Here's the thing though - no one is saying that. IT"S ALL IN YOUR MIND.

If you bake cakes, bake cakes and do it passionately with all your heart. Work hard, add value, earn your keep.
If you are a Christian then love The Lord with all your heart and love your neighbour as yourself.
To refuse a paying customer the former is bad business, to refuse a fellow human being unconditional love is to break the 2nd commandment.

Even if you are denying service to someone who does exactly what the Bible speaks against?

Would you deny people service who speak out against slavery or stoning adulterers?

What ever happened to reserving the right to refuse service? No shoes, no service ring a bell? Why is it that when a Christian exercises such rights it's discrimination?
