I have to wonder how many of the people who are perfectly fine with supporting this bigotry would be ok with it if the couple were of mixed race instead of gay. After all, the buy-bull tells us that we're not to mix races like that. I'm betting there are very few that would support such open, racially motivated bigotry as his right to his sincere and deeply held belief.
Or, how about the baker refusing to supply a cake for a plural marriage (yes, they're illegal and yes, they happen anyway)? The buy-bull is fully supportive of plural marriage, but somehow I bet you'd get tons of christers supporting this particular bigotry as his right to his sincere and deeply held belief.
Both of these sincere and deeply held beliefs share a commonality. The popular view and the biblical view are at odds. It's only a matter of time before the popular view and the biblical view on homosexuality wind up at odds as well. That's a good thing because, as with mixed race marriages, the buy-bull is just fucking wrong. Too bad it's assholes like this baker that want to cling to the status quo and slow down progress to the day that gays will truly be accepted by society as a whole.
