        Could this be a sign that our side is finally getting fed up with "turning the other cheek" so many times that we are getting vertigo?

          I think it shows that the average American is not some radical liberal gay activist and that they still stand for traditional values and God. The only reason we hear so much about the LGBT agenda is that they are sensationalists and loud. They make good news stories but they don't represent how Americans really feel.

          Just like the crap with the cops after Furgeson. Listening to the news you would think that the entire US hates cops and are rioting against them. When in fact, only a small percentage is like that. Most people respect police and realize what a hard job they do and that they are not all corrupt fascists.

            A northern Indiana pizza shop that came under fire after its owners said their religious beliefs wouldn't allow them to cater a gay wedding is closed indefinitely, and its operators say they've gone into hiding.

              I think what I have the most trouble with is how there's a liberal mantra of "Don't like abortions? Don't get one. Don't like gay marriage? Don't get gay married." And then you turn around and it's "Don't like this pizzeria owner's views? Flood their yelp page with bad reviews and gay porn and threaten to kill them." Why isn't it "Don't like this pizzeria owner's views? Don't eat there."

                Precisely what trouble are you having? Are you genuinely expecting them to act tolerantly? Or perhaps you expect the more 'moderate' liberals to stand in the path of the mob?

                  I've pretty much come to the conclusion that people who identify as LGBT leaving these hateful anti-Christian comments like Dan Savage, Elton John, and other goons represent gays as much as the Black Panthers and Ferguson race-baiters represents blacks.

                      My trouble is wondering how on earth they can live with that much cognitive dissonance, I guess.

                        I think you mean New Black Panthers (I'd imagine the original Black Panthers represented blacks pretty well). And most blacks supported Michael Brown so...

                        Most of the people leaving hateful anti-Christian comments aren't actually LGBT themselves though, just run of the mill white liberals. Gays are a very small minority and they have no way to increase their relative numbers so I'd imagine actual gays would be a bit more wary of militarizing their movement and attracting too much unnecessary attention to themselves and their lifestyles.
                        "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

                        There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

                            Once you open your doors to the public you should not be able to discriminate. End of argument.

                                Two years ago in a less turbulent time, Mike Premeau and Kathy Danke launched a small business, Memories Gourmet Pizza Co., in their Wisconsin town.

                                The two were successful in getting their line of frozen pizzas, including breakfast pizzas and gluten-free options, in stores across Nichols, west of Green Bay. They grew a base of loyal customers.

                                But all that was threatened this week when people began mistaking them for Memories Pizza of Walkerton, Indiana, which made national headlines after its owners said they would refuse to cater a same-sex wedding.

                                "If I'm ever in the area, I'll be sure to starve to death before I give you and you intolerance any of my money!" wrote one commenter on Facebook.

                                "I don't have much of a message, except that I hope your bigotry puts you out of business very quickly," a man said in a voice mail.
