The successful shutting down (or at least shutting up) of non-groupthink-compliant wedding cake and floral businesses has given gay-marriage agitators and their backers a taste of the vast power of ideological extortion in 2015 America.
I’m optimistic that the law will eventually come to its senses and give wide berth to Christians in the wedding trades, or even to non-Christian libertarians who simply don’t want to be told who they have to do business with. Perhaps James O’Keefe will covertly record owners of a black-owned florist shop being asked to create an arrangement for a “KKK” event, or a Muslim-owned catering service being asked to cater a Bar Mitzvah. But something will eventually jar the nation out of its deep-seated fear of not giving gay marriage complete affirmation by every citizen at the expense of religious freedom....

Here’s an idea post a terms of service agreement on the door and on the phone screening that has a mandatory arbitration clause and a choice of law that involves the King James Bible. By proceeding inside or pushing the button to get to a human they are locked into arbitration and religious law which courts have upheld...
This is not legal advice, for that go see a lawyer in your state. All Disclaimers apply :)
Back somewhere in my posting history I have posts putting forth the idea of assigning the proceeds of a homosexual wedding cake to promoting traditional marriage.
I think that the idea may be subject to discrimination laws, because homosexual cakes are singled out. Don’t know, it’s a legal question, and I’m not an attorney.
The easy workaround, however, is to donate a fixed amount from all wedding cakes to those causes.
Here is to kicker; Encourage matching funds from non-business sources, friends, churches, customers for cakes of their choosing.
Business contributes $10 per cake (let’s say), others match it at 10:1, or some amount of their own choosing.
Post the proceeds of the different cakes prominently in the store.
Suddenly, thousands of dollars are raised, the community has an opportunity to be part of the put-down, and, as nearly as I can determine, no laws are broken.
OR, how about the bakery owner says #### you, and then when the feds come to close it down, there are 100 armed citizens in front of the store. Just a thought.
if i was a baker of cakes for weddings i would change my wording to say i just do weddings of persons who think that sex between persons of the same sex is unhealthy
I think a shotgun with a throwdown pistol might work pretty well.
Easy, just say you’re a mozlum. Then you’re free to do anything you wish.
You are trying to make it go away without losing too much face. They will be back with a different angle. This isn't about cake or weddings, it's about forcing people to affirm their behavior.
This is just another version of Albrecht Gessler's hat on a pole. Everyone must bow, or they will attract the notice of people who will make them bow.
There has been more than one occasion on which I contemplated the potential results of seeding Muslim neighborhoods with the Names and Addresses of troublemakers along with accusations that they insulted Mohammad.
I see them as a potential resource. Just point them in the right direction and say "sic em!"

"All payments collected for services for same-sex weddings will be donated to the "Traditional Marriage Defense Fund.""
….or …"…will be donated to the "Anti-Buggery League.""
EXACTLY!
I like your idea. But I have a better idea.
The baker sells straight and homo cakes from a standard brochure.
The Homo cakes have a guy humping another guys butt under a rainbow, with words like “Fudge packer Marriage”. They would have to pay ten grand for the cake, because of economics. They would be considered rare highly valued cakes.
The straight cakes would be boring. Cheap too.
You just keep raising the price for the homo cake.
lol. you guys on this board are crazy :0
Make them a Fudge Tunnel Cake. Whoever finds the mutant baby in the middle wins, I don’t know...a rim job?
You seem to be suggesting that businesses owners sacrifice the business rather than capitulate.
Some are willing to do that, as we’ve seen, even to the point of being forced to give the homosexuals their retirement accounts rather than ‘bake the cake’.
What do you recommend for those business owners who aren’t will to go that far, but still want to spit in the eye of the bastards?
Just do not comply.
Yes, now your thinking.
Maybe the Homo cake could be shaped like a butt with a butt hole, with words like “Love tunnel” as a tatto on the butt.
You charge 50 thousand for that cake.
If an Elton John type calls the bakery, you raise the price to 500 thousand. You tell him it’s really rare, you only make one or two in twenty years, so have to charge a lot.
If you don’t comply you get fined and driven out of business.
I think they have the gay wedding planner thing cornered and now they want cake business to be a “gay only” business. I think it’s just a ploy to corner the market.
So I say hammer back with high end only homo cakes. When the gay baker gets their business, you sue the gay customer for discriminating against you because your not gay. Make their life hell, first.
A good defense is a good offense.
