They weren't boycotted because they were Christian.
They were boycotted because they were bigots.
And as I said they made the mistake of pissing off enough of their market to take a mortal financial wound so they put themselves out of business.
I doubt it. So, since Truett Kathy made his stances known about what charities he donated to, why didn't the rest of the restaurant industry abandon Chick-fil-a? And so, the moral of your argument is:
Homosexuals are incapable of being bigots themselves.
Because having a stance and donating to charities is not the same as turning away customers based on sexual orientation. Last I checked chick-fil-a will cater a gay wedding.
No, that 2% along with liberal activists drove them out of business. There were plenty of other businesses out there to serve the 2%. Why this particular one, huh?
People don't like bigots.
Hell i wouldn't patronize a place that turned anyone away for no other reason than simple bigotry and prejudice.
So you care nothing for their religious beliefs?
Would you have called them bigots if they were Muslim?
My wager is that you would have said something along the lines of "well I can understand, they didn't want to violate their religious beliefs."
Is this the part where you wiggle around Leviticus and pretend Christians haven't used the line about "they shall surely be put to death; their blood be upon them" to ...you know, kill homosexuals?Be my guest. But be prepared when you find an accurate one, it doesn't make Christians look very good.Oh sure. Let's see if I can't find a video describing to you all the "history" of homosexuality.
Oh, that depends on your definition of "accurate" is, now doesn't it?
Isn't that what people who are against Public Accommodations Laws say all the time?To you, gay members of this board I posit these questions:
In this instance of this bakery, do you think it was okay for others of your mindset to drive them out of business as they did? What if these bakers were gay? And what if Christians decided to mount such a ruckus that they were driven out of business?
Are you getting me here?
(Inhales deeply through his nose, exhales)
Ahh, the smell of hypocrisy is on the air.
They weren't boycotted because they were Christian.
They were boycotted because they were bigots.
And as I said they made the mistake of pissing off enough of their market to take a mortal financial wound so they put themselves out of business.
If a business was known to discriminate, they would not patronize the place and let word get out the business discriminates?
Free Market will take care it. Well, here it did, and wala, now we see where the ox is ...gory.

No I don't. Why should I?

Exactly what i have been saying all along.
Any business should have the right to refuse service to anyone for whatever reason but then they have to accept the consequences of that decision.
So you care nothing for their religious beliefs?
No I don't. Why should I?
Bigot.
a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

Or, simply find someone else to offer your patronage. Or did that thought never occur to you? Why destroy someone's livelihood over it?
No. The bakery was put out of business by it's owners. The owners lost their business when their customers abandoned them. Their customers abandoned them because the bakery owner refused to serve to a gay couple at a gay wedding. If the baker had taken the funds from the "gay" wedding and donated it to a christian charity, then the baker would still be in business. Further if the LGBT/democrats called for a boycott because the baker donated to a charity, the christians would have trippled the baker's business.I doubt it. So, since Truett Kathy made his stances known about what charities he donated to, why didn't the rest of the restaurant industry abandon Chick-fil-a? And so, the moral of your argument is:

Because having a stance and donating to charities is not the same as turning away customers based on sexual orientation. Last I checked chick-fil-a will cater a gay wedding.
But in both instances LGBT folks called for boycotts. Interesting is it not? They both had the intent of destroying the said business in question. This bakery was put out of business because nobody is allowed to be politically incorrect in this society.

Not caring is not bigotry it is apathy.

I don't care what their beliefs are.
If they took a stand on their beliefs then good for them. Now they can deal with the fallout.
Seems to me no too many of their fellow Christians stepped up to support them so maybe you should be castigating them.

Did you when you defended the dude who made that anti-Islamic video that was the Muslim equivalent of turning Jesus into a pig fucker?
Did you forget the word history in there?Is this the part where you wiggle around Leviticus and pretend Christians haven't used the line about "they shall surely be put to death; their blood be upon them" to ...you know, kill homosexuals?Oh, that depends on your definition of "accurate" is, now doesn't it?
Yeah, apparently you people only like to read only one half of the Bible. Not only do you not like being stereotyped, you do the stereotyping. Since when have you seen packs of Christians in the streets looking for gay people to kill?

You see, it's not about political correctness. It's about treating people as human beings.
I admit to being a bigot against homophobes and racists of all religions.Bigot.

In the context of the question, you would act regardless of their religious beliefs. That is called intolerance, bigotry and insensitivity.
Intolerant-
adj (foll by of )
1. lacking respect for practices and beliefs other than one's own
You are as guilty of this as you claim we are. Game. Set. Match.

Geeze man. Pay attention to your own freakin' argument.

Uh-huh.. you want gay people to be treated as human beings, but in return you allow them to dehumanize others. What a colossal double standard, Mr. Brown.
Not just refused service, the lesbian walked into a bakery and asked to have a wedding cake made. Happy repeat customer.No. The bakery was put out of business by it's owners.
