DENVER — If bakeries can be compelled to make wedding cakes for same-sex marriages, can they also be forced to create anti-gay cakes?

That’s the question before the Colorado Civil Rights Division after a customer filed a complaint against Azucar Bakery in Denver for refusing to write anti-gay messages on a Bible-shaped cake.

It’s these kind of questions that will force the left to see their flawed and twisted logic.
These so called anti discrimination laws obviously infringe on our Constitutional rights.
Too bad SCOTUS has wiffed on each opportunity to correct this.

The first amendment protects the freedom to peacfully assemble. This includes assembly for the purpose of business. It also includes the protection to NOT assemble. No one can force you to support a business that you do not wish to frequent.

This means that all of these “anti-discrimination” laws on businesses are directly unconstitutional and should be over turned.

The rule or law should be “We reserve the right to refuse any one for any reason.” And then let the market decide if their policies are commercially viable.

No. It won’t. By their logic, one is hate speech and the other intolerance by the bakery.

Hahahahaha

Revenge is truly a dish best served cold! I probably shouldn’t enjoy this news as much as I do but the Karmic Justice is oh too sweet.

Yea you’re right. They will never see their blind spots or disingenuous arguments.
And yes the old “hate speech isn’t free speech” caveat. I almost forgot about that one.
At the end of the day you just can’t successfully argue with a demon or nail jello to a wall I guess.

Looks like a deliberately provocative message to ensure a negative outcome and to set a precedent.

This is currently my working thesis as applies to:

bo and his crew
Democrat congressmen
Republicans congressmen
mooslims
‘the media’

I am trying to re-direct my expectations from my logic and arguments to My God, in prayer.

A wedding cake surmounted by figures of a man and a woman is “antigay” according to the intolerant creeps at GLAAD, which stands for “Gay & Lesbian Activists Assaulting All Critics”.

Really? Sure about the acronym?

We don’t need Human Rights Commissions. We’ve got the Bill of Rights and it allows Freedom of Association. That includes all kinds of discrimination.

Now, watch liberals demanding private property rights be returned to businesses. SCOTUS has backed businesses into a corner with their ridiculous belief that once you’re in commerce you lose your God-given rights.

There is nothing that can force them to see their flawed and twisted logic. They will find some “reason” (and I use that term loosely) why the situations are totally different and not comparable.

The answer to that one is in the story: They're already down to splitting hairs with a fury, looking for the Clintonism that will allow them to define, to make the rules about, what the meaning of "is" is.

They'll never give up. But we can beat them flat and scrape them down into the seams of the sidewalk by just blowing past their tergiversations and hammering the equation between this case (which the conservative perp obviously intended, and we should help him) and the stuck-on-stupid court cases pretending to punish people for refusing services to perverts pushing their "gay pride" propaganda with wedding cakes.
