I knew this was going end up as an assault against peoples' religious and moral convictions. Serving gays, individually, as customers is one thing. But forcing business owners to recognize gay marriage against their religious convictions is another. This is the very thing that the dissenting justices and people of faith warned about. This assault against people of faith is very concerning.

While obviously I don't think their car should be vandalized, I think everything else is fine considering the bakery owners broke the law by using their business to discriminate.
I don't think the owners were denying gays other services in their bakery, they just had a problem with being forced to recognize gay weddings, against their religious convictions, by baking the lesbian couple a wedding cake. This is playing out exactly the way people of faith feared it would.
