In wedding preparations in general, is doing a cake for a couple considered an inside, personal, validating participation with a couple?
If you believe, from Mt 19, that there are remarriages that are actually adultery, and you are cakemaker, and you know a couple is violating Mt 19 because you knew both of them in previous situations, and you do a cake for them, I can see where that approaches a contradiction.
But if you don't know the circumstances, and don't know them at all, and they request a cake, I don't know that that is validating something you disapprove of.
In the Kennewick, WA, case, I think the baker knew the homosexual couple quite well and had told them she would not validate their marriage in other ways than just not baking for them. I recall they respected that, because they did not pursue her; it was the unprecedented act of the AG pursuing her.
I would still like to hear on wedding prep in general: which functions are close, intimate validation? Certainly the pastor and best people are. If the pastor asks for "any objections" then all the audience is.
