If an argument can be made that segregation is a core belief of any major religion, then I guess legally it should be allowed. Morally, nope, it would be awful.  Anyway if such a thing happened in this day and age, people would throw a field day and the business would go under really fast, therefore turning it into a non-issue again. These sorts of things have a way of sorting themselves out. Even if the law protects them, their reputation would not. But realistically, such a scenario would not happen with the current laws in place.

Also I hope it goes without saying that my folks would never discriminate against anybody.

As I said, they shouldn't refuse service, but notify the couple that their proceeds will be donated towards pro-traditional marriage lobbying. Earlier you claimed retardation on my part and yet you can't seem to grasp the point of my topic. The irony is kind of bitter.

What if this is all one giant troll? o___________o

Not all forms of discrimination are wrong.

That's true, but refusing service to someone besed on their sexual preference is discrimination and objectively wrong.

I don't have the slightest opinion on laws for it. In fact, I can't even decide what I'd do in this situation.

While Christians should love people equally, since we are all sinners, there comes a certain extant to where we shouldn't tolerate those who dwell in unrepentant sin.

In layman's terms, I have an internal conflict over how far my tolerance of this should go.

Literally what?

I wasn't responding to your reply lemon, but I actually agree with you, it is morally wrong IMO. My reply was just a general thought experiment.

Maybe try using the quote button

Here's what I don't get. Do people just go to the Bakery and say "I want a wedding cake for me and my gay fiance to have at our gay wedding"? Why not say "I want a wedding cake", or if there's a problem and the owners don't feel comfortable go to another bakery? I mean, if I was a homosexual and I wanted a cake for my wedding and there was a problem at the first bakery we went to, we'd go to another one, not postpone our wedding a year to sue that bakery for denying us a cake.

Ultimately, all the bakery is doing is hurting itself by refusing to offer their product to a willing consumer, and potentially losing profits if word gets out and some people that would've gone there disagree with that business practice and then decide not to.

People trying to compare this to the Civil Rights era when you could deny service to people of color if you just felt like it are off. First, you can't tell if a person is gay by just looking at them unless you've developed some kind of gaydar. Second, the country is pretty progressive and with how Capitalism makes our culture competitive, I'd gladly bet that you'll find somebody willing to make you a wedding cake no matter what you are. There's also the obvious part of how this only has to do with gay weddings.
