Colorado baker to stop making wedding cakes after losing discrimination case
CBS News ^ | May 31, 2014

Posted on 05/31/2014 10:00:07 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The owner of a bakery in Lakewood said he will no longer sell wedding cakes after the Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruled he did discriminate against a gay couple when he refused to sell them a cake.

"We would close down the bakery before we would complicate our beliefs," Phillips said after the hearing, according to CBS Denver. Phillips also admitted he had refused service to other same-sex couples.

The commission also ordered the baker to submit quarterly reports about the customers he refuses to serve and retrain employees to serve everyone.

If he was a moslem baker this would never happen.

Well stated. When I replied (post #80) to post #7, I had checked the other replies to #7, but I didn’t go back to read all the other posts, as I probably should have done.

It's about aiding and abetting an abominable "wedding" activity.

We know that forced validation is no validation at all for a lawful, reasonable, moral, discerning and truthful people.

However, for these lawless victim groups, their beast.gov enforcers, and the debased causes they champion, force *is* the end game. Comply or die.

Their perverse definition of tolerance is the allowance of a corrupted "grace period" in which their enemies can agree and submit.

If their targets refuse to go along with the lies after repeated propaganda teachings and attempts at "polite" correction, or after emotional manipulation, public pressure and/or false accusations of hateful thoughts... then the tolerance is called off and they do whatever it takes to punish the infidels and shut down dissent.

The lawless degenerates have become fearless and brazen in their attacks because beast.gov is their enforcer. Try as they might to remake lies into truth, the reality is that beast.gov is not the highest authority in the land. It's just another thug government convinced that it is God.

Here is the patience and faith of the saints.

I think in Jack’s mind that would still be aiding and abetting them. Romans 1:28-32

You’d be surprised the POWER of Commissions....we have a 3 person Commission in our County....they get to choose the replacement for a State House Rep who resigned....instead of the Precinct people in his district. 3 people vs about 60....talk about POLITICAL

Very good specific analysis.

You point out how todays re-education occurs, with

“the allowance of a corrupted “grace period” in which their enemies can agree and submit.

If their targets refuse to go along with the lies after repeated propaganda teachings and attempts at “polite” correction, or after emotional manipulation, public pressure and/or false accusations of hateful thoughts...

So we don’t need to be looking for re-education camps. They aren’t needed. Re-education occurs publicly as you have very well described. And if the re-education isn’t successful, then with the help of beast.gov, you die.

Response should be:
“I have to make same sex cakes due to court order but you will have to pay triple. It is to cover my increased costs. You see every time I decorate a same sex wedding cake I start vomiting uncontrollably and I have had to hire an employee to clean up the mess. You still want that cake?”

All he has to do is say he is in the ingredient business. He sells assortments of ingredients to certain clients. What he does with those ingredients is simply a free service he offers in order to get customers to purchase the ingredients to begin with.

Your typical ingredient package would include something like this:

"false narrative"

That is correct. It's like homosexuals screaming they're banned from marching in certain parades like the St. Patrick's Day parades. Undoubtedly, many thousands of homosexuals have marched in them over the years, and nobody cared. But when they started demanding to display banners advertising an agenda, they were forbidden. But nobody stopped them from marching just because they were homosexuals.

Let the fags start their own bakery and do just wedding cakes for their own. Nothing stopping them.

You see where this Marxist administration is taking us. Even 10 years ago most Americans would not have believed that this was possible let alone probable. If Hillary gets to the White Hut within the following 4 years it will be all over.

And if the re-education isn’t successful, then with the help of beast.gov, you die.

That sums it right up.

And Obamacare is designed to provide "care" to whoever survives youth with his mind intact.

The grace period also explains how these people sleep at night. After all, they do all they can, but some people simply refuse to convert and live.

Power for the sake of power. The MO is evident on any number of levels, because it's the same mindset and character in action. People who feast on lies have no foundation because they are what they eat. They'd kill to obtain a consensus because any stray infidels - by their mere existence - witness to the truth.

The hunted can perceive the danger in the air but it's a tense sensation difficult to articulate. Kind of like knowing that it's only a matter of time before the broader community of beastbots are going to tire of the vexing presence of people of integrity, and will snap and devour the "haters".

They are merely awaiting a final go signal from their locust king community organizer [whose name/character/reputation is synonymous with destruction].

Kiss of death indeed. Thanks for the slomo version. That really shows the mindset of the punk.

The occupation of the white hut is like a house that has been taken over by devils more wicked than the batch that was cleaned out previously.

To paraphrase

Luke 11:24-26

When the unclean Clinton spirit is gone out of the white house, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished by GWB.

Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven Obama spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that house is worse than the first.

"Der Kommissar also ordered the baker to submit to quarterly reports about the customers he refuses to serve....and to re-train employees to serve everyone".

Der Kommissar also ordered the baker to wear a yellow star on his sleeve, but later changed it to mandating a yellow donut on the sleeve so his kommission wouldn't appear to be racist.

Addressed in a previous post:

Fear not, Christian wedding service providers. As many of you are concerned that your faith may soon be tested at your front door when you are presented with an offer you dare not refuse. The legal fees and public pressure soon to follow may put you out of business. As a person experienced in this field (wedding photography), there is a strategy to deal with this...
