A family-owned Christian bakery, under investigation for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple, has been forced to close its doors after a vicious boycott by militant homosexual activists.

Its a shame that people don't even have the right to stand for their own beliefs anymore. While I think the government has no place regulating the field of marriage(a religious institution), I also feel it has no business telling us what products we can and can't produce because of fairness and political correctness.

If they weren't selling to homos, then how would a homo boycott affect them?

Sounds like they stood for their beliefs just fine. It cost them, but it was their choice.

Perhaps a wedding cake made with Ex-Lax might have made a memorable statement...

Everything is on the internet too! Ex-Lax cake recipe

It's not just about boycotts, in each case a state investigation into discrimination practices was being launched or was pending. That puts a different spin, no? Sounds like a violation of #1, at least.

If you don't believe in something, you don't do it. They didn't have a skin color problem. They have a sexual sin problem. As Christians we are to have no fellowship with the sinful works of darkness. Maybe they should move to a more Christian friendly state. Lots of gun manufacturers and moveing to more gun friendly states. Our country is extremely divided. It might lead to a civil war eventually as militant as gays are getting as well as the government spending millions on Muslim foot washing stations.

Not like the old Jew when closing his store on Christmas Eve totaled up his receipts and said Jesus Christ was such a good man and friend of mine.

Boo hoo, those mean ol' lezzies couldn't simply go to another bakery for their "celebration" goodies, they had to go whine (boohoo) to a gov't agency that their "rights" were being violated. Let 'em eat cake, preferably baked by another establishment.

Nice Business You Got Here, Be a Shame if Something Happened to it...

There's a little bit more to it than just "their choice". Militant Gay copied their tactics from Militant Left in their attack on this small business.
From the OP's linked article:
"The LGBT protestors then turned on other wedding vendors around the community. They threatened to boycott any florists, wedding planners or other vendors that did business with Sweet Cakes By Melissa."

The Anti-Walker Militant Left used similar tactics in Madison, WI when they threatened to boycott and expose store owners who did not want to put up signs on their store fronts.

WSEU circulating boycott letters
By Don Walker of the Journal Sentinel
March 30, 2011

Members of Wisconsin State Employees Union, AFSCME Council 24, have begun circulating letters to businesses in southeast Wisconsin, asking them to support workers� rights by putting up a sign in their windows.

If businesses fail to comply, the letter says, �Failure to do so will leave us no choice but (to) do a public boycott of your business. And sorry, neutral means 'no' to those who work for the largest employer in the area and are union members."

Jim Parrett, a field representative of Council 24 for Southeast Wisconsin, confirmed the contents of the letter, which carries his signature. But he added that the union was also circulating letters to businesses thanking them for supporting workers� rights.

Parrett said that since the letters were sent out, he has received threatening phone calls as well as calls from people supporting the state workers.

"I've gotten a lot of threatening phone calls," Parrett said.

Parrett said he believed the letter campaign was going on in other parts of the state. His region includes Racine and Kenosha counties, as well as parts of Waukesha and Walworth counties.

�It�s going on in other parts of the state,� he said Wednesday.

Parrett referred questions to Marty Beil, the head of the Wisconsin State Employees Union. Beil was not immediately available for comment.

In the letter from Parrett to some businesses, he says that, �It is unfortunate that you have chosen �not� to support public workers rights in Wisconsin. In recent past weeks you have been offered a sign by a public employee who works in one of the state facilities in the Union Grove area. These signs simply said, �This Business Supports Workers Rights,� a simple, subtle and we feel non-controversial statement gives the facts at this time.�

Parrett said a number of WSEU locals in his region represent more than 1,300 union workers who have a combined yearly income of more than $56 million.



Terri Gray, executive director of the Union Grove Chamber of Commerce, said she had received many calls from member businesses about the union-led effort. She said most of the calls came from businessmen and women who preferred to remain neutral in the dispute between Gov. Scott Walker and organized labor.

"They don't want to pick a side," she said. "I told them, 'I believe you can choose to not choose.'"

Gray said the campaign appeared to have started a day or two ago. She said she didn't know whether the sign campaign was having an impact.

Asked Wednesday about the boycott effort, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said "that any nonviolent tactic used to get attention to the steamroller tactics it seems to me are reasonable. I encourage people to remain nonviolent and disciplined in their protests."

Asked if he supported boycott efforts in Wisconsin, Jackson did not directly endorse them.

He said: The best way to resolve conflict is when everybody is at the table and they can negotiate through some rational institutional process."

If a bunch of gays boycotted my business I'd fight back, and I don't think they'd like the tactics.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13

"I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler�not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges."
