Christian Baker Serves Gay Couples Because “If They Want to Get Married, More Power to Them”

I’m confused.

I thought all Christian bakers melted like the Wicked Witch if they were asked to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.

Then there’s this baker from Sarasota who believes marriage is limited to a man and a woman… but he’s not a jerk about it and treats his gay customers the same as his straight ones. It’s like he’s a kind human being or something. Why is he trying to ruin our narrative?!

“It doesn’t bother me one bit or another,” says [Cakes by Ron owner Ron] Zammit. “It’s a wedding cake, and if they feel like they love each other and want to get married, more power to them.”

…

“As Christians, I think that we should be kind-hearted and show the love of God to people, not to be judging what they’re doing,” he says.

…

The open door policy at Cakes by Ron is already paying off, in the form of a new, loyal group of customers.

Turns out if you don’t automatically exclude certain segments of the population — gay couples and other decent people who don’t want to support bigots — your business can thrive. Kudos to Zammit for doing the right thing, even when it conflicts with his personal beliefs.

If only conservative Christians saw him as a role model instead of Kim Davis.

On a side note, it’s kind of amusing that a news station ran a story that amounts to little more than “Here’s a Christian baker who’s not a jerk.”
