These Comments For The Bakery Owners Being Shut Down For Their Christian Beliefs Are AMAZING

We've talked about Aaron and Melissa Klein and their bakery, Sweet Cakes by Melissa, before. The Kleins have been targeted by anti-Christian bullies because they didn't want to participate in a same-sex wedding when they were approached by a lesbian couple to bake a wedding cake. So far, the Kleins have been forced by a court to pay $135,000 to the couple AND they had a gag order issued to prevent them from discussing their case any further – thereby robbing them of both their livelihood and their right to free speech. Because everyone will be MADE to love and agree with same-sex marriage. We all have to change our religious beliefs to suit the whims of a progressive, secular society, don'cha know?

But there is a silver lining to all this. According to this, a fund was set up for the Kleins to help them with their legal battles and their business and the response has been overwhelmingly positive (if you're interested, you can find more information about donating here). The fund has raised over $350,000. But it's not just the money being donated. There are also some interesting and amazing comments from some unlikely sources in support of the Kleins –

Reminds me of Courtney Hoffman, the lesbian woman who donated to Memories Pizza and apologized for the reprehensible attacks by the LGBT community toward those business owners for their Christian beliefs. There are so many other comments like this for the Kleins – members of the LGBT community who truly do want to agree to disagree and who respect Christians who stick to their beliefs and values and who don't want to turn this into a nasty fight. Those are the kinds of people I can respect and be friends with. We don't have to share religious or political beliefs to be kind to one another. It's when either side becomes complete and utter jerks about any given topic that I have a problem.

There will certainly continue to be debate and disagreement on a national scale over same-sex marriage. And, yes, the argument is probably going to get nasty. But in this one small instance of faith and goodwill between the two "sides" – I think there's some hope and proof that it doesn't always have to be that way.
