For opponents of same-sex marriage--would you take money from one?

Inspired by this article about all the money same-sex marriage is projected to bring into California.

Would you photograph the wedding, if you were a wedding photographer? Bake the cake? Arrange floral bouquets? Would you have a twinge of conscience about accepting the money?





I ask as a same-sex married woman who would like to know why my opponents think as they do.

No, with all respect, I would stand fast to my belief and not seek to profit from something that I don't think is right.
Reply:i would not.
Reply:Before my period of enlightenment, my husband and I owned and ran a photography business. This very topic came up, and we actually called whats-his-face, the head of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), to ask if we were required by law to accept the contract for a gay "wedding" (which did not exist at the time, but we all kow people hold weddings whether they be recognized by the state or not). We actually called a lawyer so that we could turn down those vile gay couples, and know we were in the right. We certainly would not have accepted their money unless it were illegal not to.





To quote Michelle from Full House: "How RUuuuDE"





I'd jump at the chance to shoot a gay wedding (or whatever) now. There's no 'making up' for the things I did and said, but I can be thankful for my change of heart, and move forward.





Blessings!
Reply:I personally would not... however that being said I don't necesarily disagree with the practice. Not to disagree, but I'd like to know where Jesus demands us to take photos of a same sex marriage, or bake a cake of a same sex marriage? It's one thing to cut out the politics, but don't replace it with religion!
Reply:How about you cut the politics crap and go bake a cake for some same-sex folks. Jesus demands you too!
