I want them to sell their cakes to anyone who has money and wants to buy a cake. I also favor forcing racist restaurant owners to seat African-Americans with their white patrons and charge them the same prices for the same food. Public accommodations should not discriminate. If you want to discriminate, do it on your own time. No one is asking a store owner to approve of a gay wedding or black people, they are just asking store owners to treat everyone the same business wise. Selling a cake isn't approving or disapproving of someone's sexual orientation, it's selling a human being a cake. If you don't want to sell cakes, don't start a bakery.
Besides, plenty of Christians are fine with gay marriage. And among those who aren't fine with it, few would feel like they are going to hell for selling a cake to a gay person. Everyone's gotta eat.
What the heck... everyone else is talking about this, so here I go... QFT. LGBT American citizens deserve to be treated the same as straight couples and not be discriminated against because some Christian (or anyone else) wants to use their spiritual beliefs as an excuse to deny LGBT people service, a service they would provide to everyone else. If they cannot handle that, then they need to find another line of work, perhaps a church where they can be separated from the rest of the world and not have to associate with people they obviously find undesirable. There is no excuse for homosexuals or other LGBT American citizens to be discriminated against and denied equality in the United States in the year 2017. It is completely unacceptable.
