How many of these good Christian folks deny people a wedding cake because it's their second marriage? Or third? Isn't divorce supposed to be against their moral convictions? Yet you NEVER hear these wedding cake fuckers saying they can't sell a cake to someone on their second or third wedding. As long as it's not to someone of the same sex, they're Aok with it.
Funny how that works.
Moral convictions are just an excuse. And a pretty fucking poor one at that.
Most Christian denominations are ok with remarriage after a divorce. Catholics are not unless the first marriage was annulled, but protestants are generally ok with remarriage after a divorce.
So I guess there could be 3 possibilities for what you're saying above:
1. The Christian baker doesn't have a problem with remarriage after divorce
2. The Christian baker doesn't know this is their client's 2nd or 3rd marriage (because how would they?)
3. The Christian baker is against remarriage after divorce, knows his client is getting married for the 2nd time, but has more of a problem with gay marriage due to a prejudice against gays (which is what you're suggesting)
...So it could be for any one of those 3 reasons that we don't hear about Christian bakers turning down service for a person's 2nd wedding. Assuming it's always because of the 3rd reason is a little unfair.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
