Anti-Gay Marriage Pizzaria Reopens

It's good that they are deciding to keep the concern going.
O'Connor closed the shop for eight days after comments by him and his daughter, Crystal, to a local television station supporting a new religious objections law. The law, which has since been revised, sparked a boycott of Indiana.
O'Connor said the criticism hasn't changed his beliefs. He said gays are welcome in his restaurant in the small, one-traffic-light town of Walkerton, 20 miles southwest of South Bend, but that he would decline to cater a same-sex wedding because it would conflict with his Christian beliefs.
The correct answer to these questions should be "I do not cater weddings" and then repeat it over and over until the media gets tired of asking the question. That way you don't have to discriminate against either gay or strait weddings and just ignore this issue all together. 

A person's religious beliefs then will not get in the way of providing a service because they will not be providing the service. This goes for bakeries too. If a Christian baker feels strongly enough to discriminate against a gay marriage then just don't make wedding cakes at all.
