The South Australian community has been in uproar over the last few days, since the owner of a bakery a few towns away from me wrote in to our local newspaper in protest over their recent bias and pro-gay reporting, saying she would no longer buy the paper for bakery customers to read. Needless to say this got the pro-gay lobbyists up in arms, starting boycotts against the bakery.

We're close friends with the owner's niece, who lives just down the street from us, and they report that business has actually been booming as the local Christian (and rationally-minded) community steps out in anti-boycott!

This happened just weeks after many of Australia's most influential companies, including all of the major media companies, joined together to officially support "marriage equality". It's gone from being a background issue to being one of the most hotly-debated topics in the country in the last month or so, since Ireland's referendum and the US' national legalisation happened in quick succession. The mainstream, media, and powers that be are now actively trying to persecute Christians who dare speak their minds on the matter.
