It is so insane to me how Christians cry "persecution!" over a gay wedding cake, as if that request were just an unbearable, inhumane imposition - meanwhile here these two guys are, discussing ways to insert themselves into the lives of non-Christians in order to manipulate, defraud, and undermine the identity of random LGBTQ ppl. I guess invoking Jeebus makes it "evangelism," not sticking your fucking noses where it is neither invited nor wanted.
