Note: The original title when published was "The End of Masterpiece Cakeshop." Read the rest of the slanted article with that in mind.

"Religious," indeed.

Christians shouldn’t be forced to bake cakes for fags any more than Jews should be forced to bake cakes for Nazis.

Which is to say that Phillips can keep refusing to customize cakes that, as he put it, “celebrate events or express messages that conflict with my religious beliefs.”

Sounds like a win to me.

Regarding "Colorado Civil Rights Commission",

Beware of these Nazi conclaves in your state.

These commissions are appointed and not elected, and therefore, unaccountable!

Next up for Colorado under SB-181, another unaccountable commission to destroy all energy production in Colorado. Those contributing to conservative causes will go first.

I thought they were about to report that the Cakeshop had closed. Totally different in meaning compared to the text of the article.

I don’t see how he can stay in that town that has made a career of harassing him year after year. Orphaned by the City Fathers.
It may cost too much at this point, to move into another town and start over. I wish him the best. He appears to enjoy his work.

> “Justice Anthony Kennedy declared that while “the religious and philosophical objections to gay marriage are protected views and in some instances protected forms of expression,” nevertheless “such objections do not allow business owners and other actors in the economy and in society to deny protected persons ...”

The Civil Rights Act was very specific as to which groups were ‘protected’ classes. Homosexuals are not protected, they are not a protected class.

Justice Kennedy was writing law from the bench because he was biased in favor of homosexuals as he had clerked for a homosexual judge.

Can Muslims be forced to serve bacon?

If “it’s against their religion” then can they be forced to perform gay weddings?

Or is it only Christians that have to ignore their beliefs...

The final line shows where the authors are coming from. They’d be perfectly content if SCOTUS ruled that religion itself is unconstitutional.

I just visited Masterpiece Cakeshop’s website and was dismayed to see this notice on the wedding cake page:

“Masterpiece Cakeshop is not currently accepting requests to create custom wedding cakes. Please check back in the future.”

I seems that he is still being pressured by the state “snivel rights” commission to some degree.
