Then they aren’t artists anymore. Art has apparently been outlawed in Colorado.

That’s funny, his staff for the last o’ 20 years or so has included his daughter. I think she knows exactly how valuable this “re-education” is.

Then someone needs to gin up a sting for these bastards. Find a gay owned flower shop, for instance and order Nazi and KKK themed floral displays. Let’s see whether or not they enforce the law in this case.

From the Article: He must also re-educate his staff about Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination Act. Under that law, artists must endorse all views.

Really now? What's the CO Constitution got to say on this matter?

Art II, Section 4. Religious freedom.
The free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship, without discrimination, shall forever hereafter be guaranteed; and no person shall be denied any civil or political right, privilege or capacity, on account of his opinions concerning religion; but the liberty of conscience hereby secured shall not be construed to dispense with oaths or affirmations, excuse acts of licentiousness or justify practices inconsistent with the good order, peace or safety of the state. No person shall be required to attend or support any ministry or place of worship, religious sect or denomination against his consent. Nor shall any preference be given by law to any religious denomination or mode of worship.

So, look here; three violations all at once:

1. The free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship, without discrimination, shall forever hereafter be guaranteed
   From the article: They must also include why it was declined "so to ensure he has fully eliminated his religious beliefs from his business."
2. no person shall be denied any civil or political right, privilege or capacity, on account of his opinions concerning religion
   From the article: But Phillips' Christian faith landed him in trouble with the law. His crime: adhering to his biblical belief that marriage is between one man and one woman.
3. Nor shall any preference be given by law to any religious denomination or mode of worship.
   Not from the article, but there is a long history of sexual intercourse as a mode of worship from many pagan religions, but even Christianity; want proof?
        With this Ring I thee wed, with my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
