Would just like to write a little more about the matters in question....
One of the leaders of my church was on a Christian, satellite TV show a while ago and he told a story--which someone had presumably told him.... He didn't say so, but the police have typically spoken to different people in society about these kinds of things....
It was a hypothetical story about a Christian, pizza shop owner.... Some people were planning a wild party with drinking and drugs, and they wanted pizza to eat.... Should the shop owner refuse service on the grounds that he disapproved of wild parties...??? No, of course not. Pizza is pizza, and it wasn't the owner's problem about what the people were going to do with themselves.... And it's the same with things like wedding cakes for gay marriages...!!! [If there's a figurine on top of the cake which shows either a traditional marriage or a gay one, the baker could allow the purchaser to add their own figurine, if they wish...? (Do they still use those things?) But I don't think Christians should judge....]
The man who told this story wasn't a young man, he was elderly and had been the head of his department for some time.... I don't recall the exact point he was trying to make with this story but I believe it showed he was becoming more open-minded about gay marriage--and he did specifically mention gay marriage.... Earlier, I'd seen a negative comment about gay marriage on this man's department's Facebook site.... I've noticed it's usually harder for older people to change their minds...but people can change!!!
