Indiana Pizzeria Won't Serve Gay Couples

However, she would have a problem catering a gay wedding because of her religious beliefs. The compromise: allow her business to continue serving gays and the rest of the public in her establishment, but not forcing her and other business owners of faith to accommodate gay weddings and anything else associated to gay marriage, which would be contrary to their religious beliefs.

I take it then that as a Christian, if you were treated as a second-class citizen, refused service (at whichever level you choose to stipulate for this conversation) based solely on your faith ("We won't serve bigots!"), that you'd take it quietly, without so much as a murmur, and with no cries of "persecution!"? You'd eschew using your right to free speech and clam up about it? Take it like a man?

If so, you're a very rare Christian, indeed. 

Christians are already under attack in this country. Where did I say that gays or anyone else couldn't speak out if they felt their rights were being violated? ....which bigots? You mean the intolerant anti-theist bigots such as yourself?

The pizza shop owner didn't say she would refuse selling pizzas to gay people. She said she wouldn't cater a gay wedding because of her religious beliefs against gay marriage.

Quote:It was an awful mistake to characterize based upon religion. I should not judge any theist that way, I must remember what I said in order to change.
