I have two issues with this article.
1) The printers were wrong to do what they did. If they don't agree with gay marriage they should have simply refused the order. Should a lawsuit come at that point, that's the price you pay. The Bible clearly states that if you follow Christ you will be persecuted. As it stands now, they were being mean and should be fired.
2) Not agreeing with gay marriage does equate to being homophobic. That word makes no sense and shouldn't be used. Unless you're really frightened by gay people. Again, what they did was wrong and does not follow Christian teaching, but this word gets thrown around incorrectly. I for one do not agree with gay marriage but I don't hate gay people, I don't wish them harm, and I'm certainly not scared of them.

All the printer had to do is print what was requested. Nobody told him he had to go to wedding say I support it or even put their name on the program..
What is wrong with doing you job or the profession you claim? Politics, religion, personnal views are not asked when you come in the door. Going into a business and excepting them do the work requested I guess is long gone.
The new "jim Crow" is happening.

Remember you get what you ask for. So much for the war on "Christianity". No christian I know would even think of doing that another human being

Discrimination in the Name of Jesus - OnFaith
How "religious liberty" is becoming discrimination by another name.

MSgt Michael Bischoff - No, Jim Crow isn't happening. What's happening now is that people are being asked to leave their religion at home. Sure sure, it's fine to believe whatever you want...as long as you do it somewhere else. Religion doesn't work that way. If the person running that business had an issue with this request he should have simply said he couldn't do it and then let the chips fall where they may. And being in the business he's in he should have known this would happen some day and explain the situation to his boss before it ever came to this. There were other ways around this for him. And like I said previously, he was wrong for what he did.

MSgt Michael Bischoff - What I want is to not be forced to agree to something that goes against my beliefs and my faith. If I owned a food business, I'd sell my food to whoever walked in the door. Gay, straight, whatever. But if a KKK member asked me to cater their white pride event, I'd say no. I don't agree with the ceremony and I'd like to not be a part of it. Most people wouldn't care about that though. And why not? It's legal to be a member of the KKK and it's legal for them to host a white pride event.
Now I get that different people will draw that line in different places. That's fine. If you're a Christian and you're ok with baking a cake for a gay wedding, great. But if you don't want to, you shouldn't be forced to.
