I've had gay/lesbian friends for decades and have watched this whole recent uproar over wedding cakes with a great deal of consternation and wonderment at the wretched misunderstanding that is abundantly obvious to me, can't understand just what is so fucking complicated here....
I'm going to set aside the usual religious bigotry that is quite evident on the part of the Jesus Taliban types who are so damn exercised about baking a cake for Joe and Dave or Melissa and Jennifer, that's been covered quite well already.
What bothers me is why don't the couple just say "Ok, we'll take our business elsewhere."
Then, they can pass the word about the bigot bakery and then they will lose business in the long run. This is a useless and stupid thing to be bothered with and can be governed by market forces instead of making a court case out of it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
FUCK THE JESUS TALIBAN!
Let these fools live their lives in their own way, there are much larger battles to be fought than a petty argument over a fucking cake....

CHINO
Well, I've had about enough.
I've decided to coin a new acronym to describe the current crop of weird people:
CHristians In Name Only CHINO
My family has a long (as in many generations going back to the late 1700's) tradition with the Congregational Church here in the USA and I can say with certainty (because she told me so) that my mother viewed the people who started the current "evangelical" movement that the Republican Party has so shamelessly colluded with as a gang of opportunistic fakes. (I'm being kind here, she had some pretty strong opinions about this for a lifelong supporter of the Republican Party)
What they are peddling is not Christian, it is a perversion of everything my family (and my family's tradition) held dear and it's about time that the rest of the world became aware of the evil that is being perpetrated in that name.
Enough Is Enough
It's time to denounce these evil fuckers for just what they really are:
CHristians
In
Name
Only
CHINO
