What about the signs saying ‘we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone’ that hang in almost every business everywhere? Some idiot judge is going to force him to serve someone he disagrees with?

He should get a good attorney. I think this will get thrown out on appeal eventually.

I can’t imagine why someone would really want a cake someone was forced to bake for them. Haven’t they heard you should never piss off the people who make your food?

I checked the internet yellow pages for Denver-area bakeries - more than 200!!! Yup- this is a set-up and pure persecution. That being said, who would actually want to eat the cake at a gay wedding made by someone who is morally against gay weddings??? Not that I am suggesting this, but didn’t these fools see “The Help” ?

> How are there “gay weddings” in Colorado if same sex marriage is not legal there?

Where there’s a gay there’s a way...: )

This is more about property rights than religious freedom.

If a man does not want to trade his property, for any reason, it is his right as owner of the property.

It was harassment pure and simple.

I bet they target people.

The “wedding” was to be in Massachusetts with a reception in Colorado. This is why Russia and India are putting the kibosh on homosexual “rights.”

Would a court order a Muslim baker to bake a cake for a Christian celebration?
Would a court order a Jehovah Witness baker to bake a birthday cake?

They’re lucky they didn’t ask me to bake them that wedding cake. There ARE ways to stop such foolishness but the penalties are quite severe.

Bake the damn cakes...but....put a little extra ingredient or two in to insure that the alimentary canal is not blocked in any way. IOW Montezuma’s revenge to the max!

Is this guy the only cake baker in the state?

Seriously, why can't gays find someone else? (I know the answer BTW).

So they could’ve picked any of a hundred bakers but decided to lean on this guy and teach him a lesson?

You are correct. This guy is the Rosa Parks of hetero/christian rights. And it wasn’t even staged agitprop by the NAACP this time around.

Do civil unions traditionally have cakes?

How about common law marriages?

Anyone get a cake for getting a driver’s license or fishing license?

..."But the government should not be able to force me to sell them one. Any more than they should be able to force me not to sell them one."

---------------------------------->

Looks like another sign of the times.

The government should not be able to force me to participate in ObamaCare.

Including forcing me to pay mandatory government insurance that includes birth control and abortion. And if I don't sign up for government mandate, I get fined. When will the imprisonments start showing up.

What will government mandate next. Personal freedoms again squashed. I feel like a "VerySadAmerican", too...
