Radical activists in the gay community have put pedal to the metal to force gay acceptance from Christians — making not only their position but also their tactics anti-Christian.
They are deliberately targeting the Christian wedding industry — the cakemakers, the caterers, the quaint bed-and-breakfast owners, and the like. They are headhunting Christians who refuse their business on moral grounds by slapping them with lawsuits or "human rights" complaints.
Fascists would appreciate these tactics.
A textbook case of left-wing entrapment came with Robert and Cynthia Gifford, owners of an inn near Albany, New York. A lesbian activist called to request a gay marriage at the inn, and she recorded the phone call. When Gifford said no, the activist filed a complaint with the blue state's "Human Rights" bureaucrats. The Giffords were fined $13,000 — including $3,000 to the lesbian activist couple for their "mental anguish."
There are other examples around the country. In the days to come there will be many more. This is orchestrated, and vicious.
What are Christians to do?
Enter Father John Zuhlsdorf, a priest and blogger in Madison, Wisconsin. He has arrived at a solution for all these lawsuits that could turn the issue completely on its head. He counsels a big Yes for any gay-wedding requests, with a few promises written into the contract (with Catholic touches in this example).
Tell them that the food and services will be just fine. "And then inform them that all of the money that they pay for the services will be donated to a traditional pro-family lobby. If it is something like catering, where your employees have to be there to provide services, tell them that all your people will smile, be professional, and every one of them will be wearing crucifixes and have the Holy Family embroidered on their uniforms. Then show them pictures of your uniforms. When the truck pulls up, speakers will be playing 'Immaculate Mary.' Show them the truck and play the music."
If they're appalled, then say, "Oh, you would be offended by that? I'm so sorry. You approached us because we are Christians. Right? We are happy to provide services for you and we are grateful that you chose to come to our Christian catering business. We just want to be of help.

Awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteYou all see yourselves as way more important than you really are.
ReplyDeleteThen why are you coming around giving us so much trouble, 4:31?
ReplyDeleteWithout going into too much detail someone told me that their place hosts a lot of gay weddings and the whole episodes are a sight for sore eyes.
ReplyDeleteThey said the whole time the staff is on the verge of bursting out laughing and not only staff but other guests come around to peep in on the 'show.'
They said sometimes it's 2 women getting hitched and they both were tuxedos. Once on the dance floor one of these 'grooms' got in the middle and started doing one armed push ups and the whole wait and bar staff and the DJ had to run in the kitchen to keep from bursting out laughing.
The person told me that while they and the staff 'accepts' gay marriage it's "funny as s***" to watch one.
We must be important 4:31. It's sorta like I tell my clients who complain when they are the target of gossip-
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you took the time to comment means that we are important enough to be the topic of your comment.
The problem for you, 5:55, is that same sex marriage is going to become legal nationwide. Put a sign on your business that shows you are not gay friendly and watch your profits drop. Either move with the times or watch the rest of the world pass you by. You have become your own worst enemy and you lose.
