A bakery in Pennsylvania has come under scrutiny after the owner declined to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple who were planning to renew their vows.
“It was hard to do,” Lorraine Fleming, the owner of The Cake Pros bakery in Schuylkill Haven, Pa., told WBRE-TV on Tuesday. “We have homosexuality in our family, and it was a hard decision to make, but in the end, when I die and I’m one on one with God I have to stand true to him.” …

The baker can expect health inspector scrutiny to end all scrutiny. In the meantime guests at the event are spreading the word that the baker “food poisoned” a number of people and watch his/her business crumble.
Why? Why demand that a baker make products that go against their conscience and faith?
To force compromise. To force them to act contrary to God.
GOD BLESS YOU, AND KEEP YOU Lorraine Fleming, for standing firm in Christ, “fighting the good fight”, and for understanding that outside of Christ, there is NO HOPE in this world.

you don’t seem to understand.....if you force me to do something, there is always the possibility.....possibility....that I will do something to you or your product that you will not approve of....I need do nothing, but I can’t understand why someone would do that.....put themselves in a position where someone could sabbotage your wedding.
I do understand. I have been in the position where I could have put something into the food I prepared and served, but the consequences would have been harm to a customer, no matter how repulsive I thought that person was, and the destruction of my business.
