But it has never really been about love and marriage but rather about control and revenge. Why in the world would two gay women go to a Christian bakery to have them bake a wedding cake and insist that the owner put a pro-gay marriage statement on the cake??? THEN they went to a great deal of effort to bring a case against the Christian baker and essentially took her life savings and business from her. Does this sound like they simply wanted the right to marry?????<br />If you are a professor, a politician, work for government, in public life and hundreds of other jobs and decide to voice an opinion opposing gay marriage they will come for you and force you to be fired, punished or both. Does that sound like all they want is the right to marry?? It is more like 20th century Russia where someone voiced an opinion, no matter how mild, that was interpreted to offend the communist and the secret police would come for them in the early morning hours, drag them out of bed and they would be sent to a gulag in Siberia. <br />If you doubt me, watch and see how these consenting gay adults who ONLY want to live in holy matrimony use this court decision to hunt down and destroy those who don't bow down and approve of their lifestyle.
