[QUOTE="donner, post: 2733078, member: 277"] Having been in the wedding business for years, i can tell you that 1) you don't want a vendor who doesn't want to be part of your event and 2) there are many ways to get out of providing a service without telling them it's because you disagree with their lifestyle choice. I also think that the 'Christian' thing is a funny thing to point to when saying why you don't want to be a part of it. First, as people on social media are pointing out, Jesus ate with thieves and prostitutes yet baking a cake for a gay couple would violate Jesus' teachings? The other part of it is that i don't see how providing a cake to an event conveys that you condone something. If the couple were having a ceremony celebrating their 'civil union' would that be different? What if you baked the cake and didn't learn until pickup or delivery that it was for a gay wedding, would that really change things? I don't buy it when anti-gun people want to sue a gun maker or gun shop because of something that a person did with one of their products. Just because you made the gun, doesn't mean you were part of the shooting that occurred. In the same way, making a cake doesn't really make you part of the wedding. You're providing a product.
