The great pizzeria kerfuffle started with this:

Crystal O’Connor, one of the shop’s owners, told a local ABC station that they wouldn’t provide pies for a gay wedding. As she later told Neil Cavuto, “It is not a sin that we bring gays into our establishment and to serve them. It is a sin, though, if we cater their wedding. We feel we are participating, we are putting a stamp of approval on their wedding.

I have made an honest effort to understand this woman's argument, and I just cannot make sense of it.

Selling pizza to two gays in the restaurant who, for all she knows, might be on a date is OK, and just commerce.
However, delivering the pizzas to a same sex wedding goes beyond commerce, and amounts to putting a stamp of approval on the wedding, and is thus a sin.
Why? They are selling flat bread, not affirmation.

I never sought or asked my caterers for their approval of my marriage. It never occurrd to me and I honestly didn't care what they thought. They were selling the chicken or the fish, because that's what they do.

Please, I'm not ridiculing anyone.
I just don't see a biblical basis for the lady's distinction.

I get the feeling there's more to this than she's saying.

Look at all the free advertising.  And imagine all the 'true christians' who will patronize her restaurant to show their support.


 

Discrimination is an act of hatred.

Dress it up in as much scripture as you please, in the end you are doing it because your hatred has driven you to it.

So, why is it not okay to refuse to serve someone based on race but it's okay to inflict hatred on homosexuals?
