Christian host: Baking cakes for same-sex weddings is the ultimate hate speech
By David Edwards

A conservative Christian talk show host said on Tuesday that the ultimate hate speech would be to treat gay couples equally because it effectively endorses homosexuality, and trips them into Hell.
Dr. Chaps Gordon Klingenschmitt, a disgraced former Navy chaplain, explained that people were being influence by a four-dimensional demonic and spiritual realm.
And he said that it was a demonic spirit that was controlling the lawmakers who back LGBT rights.
Klingenschmitt went on to praise Colorado Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips for refusing to bake cakes for same-sex couples even after the states Civil Rights Commission found that he had discriminated against two gay men.

a new business. I guess it should be one that gay people never utilize. Good luck to them on figuring that business out.

the people running it thought I was some sort of abomination. I simply wouldn't trust them not to poison it.
Yes, by law, they do need to be required to provide service to anyone and everyone as long as they're a public business. But I still wouldn't use their services.

No, Col. Klink, the only hate speech here is the fact that you're still on the air.
