Homosexual Bans and Boycotts

Written by Kerby Anderson June 2 - 2015
Homosexual bullies have reached a new low in their call for bans and boycotts. We are all familiar with what happens when a Christian photographer, baker, or florist declines to provide services for a same-sex wedding. The homosexual couple files charges with the state, and the Christian owner has to pay a fine and is usually driven out of business. Now these bullies are taking their tactics to the next level. Consider the story of Aaron and Melissa Klein, the owners of Sweet Cakes bakery in Oregon. It is bad enough they had to close their business. It is worse that they were also fined $135,000 for supposed “emotional damages.” But that was not punishment enough for the homosexual bullies. Christians decided to rally around Aaron and Melissa Klein by raising money for them through a GoFundMe account. Once supporters were able to raise more than $100,00 for the family-owned bakery, homosexual activists demanded that GoFundMe shut down the page because it violated the organization’s policy. But these gay bullies don’t just target Christians. They go after fellow homosexuals if they “stray from the reservation.” Two homosexual hotel owners held a small dinner in New York City with Senator Ted Cruz. They disagree with him on many topics, including same-sex marriage, but wanted to have a dialogue with a presidential candidate. Months earlier, they hosted a “Ready for Hillary” event. The gay bullies were outraged that these two homosexual hoteliers had dinner with Ted Cruz and called for a boycott of their hotel. This forced a cancellation of a charity event to fight AIDS. Initially the two hotel owners tried to defend what they did by saying: “People on both sides of the aisle need to be able to communicate with one another even when they ideologically disagree.” But gay bullies were not convinced. The hotel owners had to cave to the pressure and admit that the Cruz dinner was a “terrible mistake.” I think their real mistake was to think that homosexual bullies believe in open-mindedness and tolerance.
