When you refuse to serve gay people, you become an appealing business to other devout Christians and religious people but you lose your credibility to people who are gay or support same-sex marriage and make a big deal about it.
Honestly I don't give a shit about what a baker believes or who he/she discriminates against as long as the service is good, but many people will not feel comfortable doing business with someone who discriminates against gays. You are free as an American to organize your marketing and propaganda as you please, but my point is that you are responsible for the consequences of your actions, and because western nations are essentially free nations, no one is forced to do business with you, so what happens to your reputation is up to you.
I knew what you meant. Your point just reminded me of a few businesses and business people who had already been harassed and bullied by pro gay marriage activists. There was a lady, I forget the name now, who owned a restaurant that had to shut her business down because of threats she received after she said she had an issue with catering gay weddings. I think there may have been a thread here on the forum about it. My point is, that those who are being harassed and bullied for opposing gay marriage, or any other cause the left champions, shouldn't have to be afraid to voice their opinions or to be afraid to exercise their religious freedoms. But, I knew what you meant.
