What they cannot do is proclaim (publicly!) that their business will not serve gay couples. And exactly how do they complain or rant and rave with the help of the media? Write little post-it notes about it? You position is total IDIOCY, as is that article. BTW, do you ever answer any questions put to you?

The Klein's didn't discriminate against gay people or gay couples. They'd sold cakes to these lesbians before. And they never took the position they'd refuse to sell to gay people.

I gather gay people seek out Christians for the quality and trustworthiness of their services. Bakers, florists, photographers, B&B's, etc. Perhaps they don't trust gay businesses to be hygienic and safe.

Gays must know gay businesses are vile. That could be why they seek out businesses they know won't be gay.

LOL Ted, not even Steve Benen's spin makes any sense. The business was forced to pay $135K in "damages," but that's not a "gag order." Never mind the fact that the amount of said damages was meant to be punitive, because there were no medical bills and no quantifiable damages related to the business refusing to serve the lesbian couple. In other words, the amount of $135K was meant to make an example out of the business and warn others, "You better comply and shut up about your personal beliefs, or else we'll drain your bank account." But that's not a "gag order." LOL, how stupid does Steve Benen think his readers are? Tenchusatsu
