I think I mentioned before - although it might have been in a different thread - that it certainly appears as though they chose him deliberately, since by all accounts he's famous in the area for his quirky restrictions on custom cake decorations he will and won't do. He's literally the only baker I've ever heard of who won't make Halloween cakes, for example. But unless they just dropped in from the Martian mother ship to order the cake, it's very unlikely that they had no idea about this.
Don't kid yourself. They researched the baker well before they went into his shop. He was hand-selected for persecution by the "innocent and shocked" gay lifestylists who made sure to bring a mom along to emphasize the "shocked!" value they wanted to milk from the story.
The Supremes didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday. This and other cases like it where the gay lifestylists didn't respectfully look elsewhere the minute they knew of the bakers' passive refusal to promote anything that has to do with two people of the same gender "marrying" (in the Christian mind, officiating as both mom and dad when that has no substitute in the eyes of God), are clear examples of militant targeting. That's why I named the title of this thread how I did. These "couples" often pair up for marriage to exploit a political agenda, and for tax purposes.
And in so doing they further adulterate the blessing of marriage. Can you imagine waiting for a long time, falling in love, proposing and getting giddy with the idea of marrying the one you love; but in the planning of that happy event you weave in a little planned complete sabotage and destruction of one of the contractors you intend to hire to help you?
"Hey honey, did you call the caterer? Yes, we're having salmon and asparagus quiche! Did you get the florist to order all the roses? Yes, pinks and whites, just like you wanted. Oh, and hey, did you search on Google for a baker who certainly is a Christian with objections to our lifestyle so we can target his shop for financial destruction before we go order our cake at the place down the road as planned from the guy who doesn't care who he makes a cake for? Yep, got that done too. We'll stop off there, have someone film the Christian politely rejecting our request, go see the lawyer, drop off the footage and go to that little bakery on the corner and pick out the cake we intended to all along. Great! Let's go!"
