T-Shirts

Written by Kerby Anderson November 13 - 2015
Over the last few months, Christians are beginning to wonder if they can work as florists, bakers,or photographers. Sooner or later a homosexual couple will ask them to perform their services for a gay wedding. We know what happens next. Now even Christians who print t-shirts may wonder if they will be confronted. Blaine Adamson is the owner of a screen-printing company. He and his company (Hands On Originals) faced discrimination charges because he turned down a homosexual who wanted him to print rainbow t-shirts for a gay pride parade. Blaine Adamson was brought before the city commissioners who accused him of discrimination. In this case, he was exonerated. The court ruled that he did not have to give up his religious liberty just because some homosexual activists demanded that he print a rainbow t-shirt. This only makes sense. We wouldn’t require an artist to paint a picture that he or she did not agree with. Likewise, companies or individuals printing t-shirts should not be told how to use their artistic expression. It was interesting to see the support that Blaine Adamson received from other t-shirt shop owners who were homosexuals themselves. They recognized the right to decline business if they disagreed with the message. One woman said she doubts her business would print a t-shirt for the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church. Her business partner said she could see Blaine Adamson’s viewpoint because she put herself in his shoes. When making a design, you put yourself into the artistic endeavor. I was encouraged to hear that some of the businesses, even with homosexual owners, understand the threat by some gay activists who have become gay bullies demanding that everyone serve them and endorse their message. We need more people to respect different viewpoints and not misuse anti-discrimination laws. Viewpoints by Kerby Anderson
