Proverbs 15:17 Better a bowl of vegetables, if love go with it, than a fatten oxen eaten in hatred.

I think that those people who want a bigot to make their wedding cake are insane or just want to make some cash off a lawsuit. Maybe they want want to take a stand against bigotry but I'd be surprised if that stand isn't just a stab at five minutes of fame and fat check. The one thing I'm sure that these people don't give a shit about is having a delicious wedding cake. The idea that you want to put something IN YOUR MOUTH made by someone who despises you is farcical, like wise that you want such a person to take pictures of your "special day".

I'm not ready to take a stance on weather people should be legally obligated to make wedding cakes but no sensible person should want such a cake.

County clerks that can't enforce the laws, pharmacists that can't dispense lawful medication need to get fired. Their names should be watchwords of shame in the medical and legal professions. Should they be legally obligated? I'm not sure but there should be no penalty for firing such a person and there is no way in hell they should receive unemployment benefits.

Christianity likes to be persecuted. As much as you might like to pretend it's about love and forgiveness persecution will always play better to the crowd. If people really believed in love and forgiveness they would toss that first half of the book back to the Jews. As much as you might want to fight the knee jerk reaction toward paranoia and anecdote inspired fear you'll probably usually lose.

Don't know too many particulars about how hated your particular sect feels historically but my general impression is that it runs sorta deep. What does the group pushing fear stand to gain? I'm sure gain something from pushing a message of fear, even if it's just attention. Good luck staving it off. Fear sells, fear motivates, fear gets people attention.
