Texas bakers face threats after declining to bake gay wedding cake
LONGVIEW, Texas (Christian Examiner) — A small town bakery owned by a Christian family is under siege after they declined to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple.
Edie and David Delorme own the Kern's Bake Shop in Longview, Texas — known around town for their petit fours and sugar cookies — and also their custom-made wedding cakes.

The Delormes are also devout Christians -- faithful members of a nearby Baptist church - and they run their bakery according to the tenets of their religious beliefs.
That became a problem on Feb. 17th when Ben Valencia and Luis Marmolejo requested the bakers make a cake for their upcoming wedding.
I was up front with them," Edie told me. "I said, 'I'm sorry but we don't provide wedding cakes for homosexual marriages."
