You always hear in the news about Christian cake decorators being fined, put out of business, etc, for refusing to make cakes for Sodomite weddings. We are told that they should not be discriminating, and that they should be willing to make cakes for any customers without letting their personal beliefs, bias, or bigotry get in the way.
However, tolerance only seems to go to the left. A company called Duplitech has been making DVDs and preaching CDs for us over the last few years, but when I sent them over my new film "AIDS: the Judgment of God," they refused to make the DVDs. The thing that was most irritating about it was that they strung me along over the course of a week, all the while I thought my order was being filled, only to be told a week later that they are refusing to make the DVDs. Thankfully I found another company in town that is manufacturing the DVDs as we speak.
So apparently Christians are supposed to put aside their personal views and bake cakes for perverts, but liberals can refuse to manufacture a DVD based on the Holy Bible because it is anti-homosexual. This company's name would have been nowhere on the product. They are just a printing company! I'm giving them money to provide a service. That's it.
They definitely have the right not to make these DVDs, although I think it is lame of them. I believe that any business should have the right to refuse service to anyone. I am just pointing out the hypocrisy of our society that tries to force Christians to participate in sinful things that they don't believe in and then turns around and discriminates against preachers for so-called "hate speech," which in reality is just Bible preaching. The truth is hate to those who hate the truth!
Here is the email exchange.

Check disc is not necessary as long as there is no problem
with the DVD wrap artwork (I.e. as long as it conforms to your template)
Thanks!

Hi Steven,
Sorry with the holiday break I did not
look closely at the content of this title. We appreciate all of the
work you have provided us over the past two years. This is a title I/we
cannot in our personal conscious support as it is against our beliefs.
I hope you can respect our personal opinions here on this matter. I
will run your other title if you still want us to, but I understand if
you want to move both jobs.
Steve

Steve,
No one is asking you to support the film. Are you saying that everything you print matches up with your personal beliefs? People have already pre-ordered the film, and I sent this to you a week ago. If you refuse to print it, then you have wasted a week of my time and their time. Can you just print the two films anyway in the spirit of freedom of speech and freedom of thought?

I’m sorry, but I cannot run this. It was sent right in the middle
of Holidays where most companies are completely shutdown; we’ve been
running a limited staff. I apologizing for not looking closely at this
earlier.

I'm not buying it. I mean, as you told them up front, the documentary is called "AIDS: The Judgement of God" - did that not tip them off to the content of the presentation? You sent them the case artwork for crying out loud! They didn't have 30 seconds to spare to read the synopsis on the case art? Instead of stringing you along for a week?
But yeah, when are all the supposed liberal "free speech" warriors going to step up in this case?
