Only if you believe that both parties were celibate and would remain celibate forever if they did not get married. Otherwise the act that you consider immoral is going to take place, with or without a cake, with or without a wedding, with or without any marriage of any type. In fact, if you believe that sex outside of marriage is also immoral, or if you believe that promiscuity in general is also immoral, then you should want them to get married even if you believe that homosexual acts are immoral. If they are going to have sex anyway, then having it outside of marriage ought to make it doubly immoral to you. > There are 17 other bakeries in that city.
