Meet the Florida Christian baker who has absolutely no problem selling you a gay wedding cake
A Sarasota, Florida Christian baker has made headlines because he refuses to let his faith get in the way of doing his job and his refusal to judge his customers over their sexual orientation.
Cakes by Ron owner Ron Zammit has been baking wedding cakes in Florida for 27 years and when same-sex marriage became legal in the state in January he saw no reason to change the way he operates his business.
Zammit says his personal faith tells him that marriage is between a man and a woman but that is no reason for him to turn a customer away.
‘I don’t believe that I should judge them for being gay as well as judging someone for being a certain religion. That’s not for me to do,’ Zammit told ABC7 WWSB earlier this week.
‘It doesn’t bother me one bit or another. It’s a wedding cake, and if they feel like they love each other and want to get married, more power to them.
‘As Christians, I think that we should be kindhearted and show the love of God to people, not to be judging what they’re doing.’
Zammit says that he estimates he has baked cakes for between 20 and 30 gay weddings and believes that it has only been a good thing for his business.
‘If it’s a gay couple’s wedding, it makes others comfortable to know they would be accepted to come into a business like this and order a cake together,’ Zammit said.
Sarasota Pride chair Cindy Barnes says she is proud of her local community and is yet to hear of any local businesses discriminating against gay couples who are getting married.
‘We have not had one report of someone refusing service to anyone,’ Barnes said.
‘We are very fortunate to live in a city where they are behind us, supported us from day one, and were right with us when gay marriages were passed.’
