One law for us, one law for them.
Separate and unequal
Marjorie Silva, the owner of the bakery ... but would not decorate them with the biblical verses and the image of the groomsmen that he requested ...
I sugged Ms. Silva look up the definition of "discriminate." She most certainly does.

Segregation is back!
These activists are doing this wrong.
He should NOT have asked the bakery to make an anti-anything cake. He should’ve asked for a cake that was PRO-traditional marriage. He should’ve asked for wording that was positive for something (not negative) so that it was PRO-marriage.
Then he still would’ve made his point, and the bakery would’ve refused to make the cake, but he might’ve made a better argument in court.
We now know how all of these are going to go. I’m struggling to find the right words, but essentially, the problem is not a lack of laws, or a logical argument. The problem is the people we have in power. This same “Civil Right Division” is trying to put a Lakewood baker out of business. Does anyone really think a law will stop them? Why should it?
I just really think everything we’re doing to fight this is completely wrong. We’re trying to get them to obey their own rules, be consistent, be tolerate when they’ve shown us over and over they’re not interested in that.
Let this also be another lesson to all you COS people. The Left will not comply with any amendment. Not a single one. We need to disobey them, or remove them from power, or get out of their reach. We need to do that unilaterally: no law or process is needed to legitimate it.
Well, if we’re now at the point in which we live under a government that is forcing us at the point of a gun to directly go against our religion and our concsciences, we will are also arriving at a point in which a gun needs to be pointed back at the government.
The same thing for Christian florists. Sell them the flowers, but have them delivered in big boxes. Allow the customer to arrange and place the flowers as they see fit.
She discriminated against Christians.
Remember the days when they were screaming “Stay out of my bedroom”, now they are draging us in the bedroom, and are offended that we don’t want to go.
“the Colorado Civil Rights Division ruled...”
They have names. They have addresses.
Expecting the Constitution to protect you from a lawless government is like expecting gun laws to stop criminals from having guns.
