So if the state of Colorado doesn’t recognize gay marriage, why should the baker be required to do so? That is a legitimate question, is it not?
Probably not judicially, but more likely through a denial of medical services.
1st Amendment: freedom of religion, freedom of association.
Would a judge require an Islamic caterer to provide ham at a Christian wedding?

Where’s that “like” button when you need it?
Wondering what Jesus would have these Christian bakers and photographers do? Turn the other cheek? Give them your coat when they demand your shirt? Bake the cake all the while praying for these poor sinners??? Just put flowers on top but no 2 guys or 2 girls. Let the customers do that for themselves.
This reminds me of the Hare Krishnas on the U of Florida campus dishing out their free food to anyone who wanted it. There was an admonition from a discerning Christian pastor not to eat this food as surely these HK’s were praying their HK prayers over the food. Why subject yourself to such spiritual contamination of pagans? So, Gays & Lesbians, do you want your wedding cake to be corrupted by the prayers of the Christian bakers? Now the Christian photographers is a whole different story of having to attend the wedding and chronicle the event. I would go to jail over that before cooperating. Once again, there are plenty of photographers who wouldn’t object, so why pick on the Christians??? That’s a rhetorical ?
Fox shows are continually rife with victims of authoritarian, anti-gun and anti-religious overkill who get to tell their stories to a sympathetic ear.
However, how much do you want to bet that this baker will NEVER be invited on O'Reilly, Greta, Megan or Hannity? Or anywhere else!
Why not?
These shows are dependent on advertising....and the national gay community has a high disposable income average. These talk shows (including other networks, of course) are scared to death of the the real or perceived power of the organized homosexual activist movement....so while the show hosts may sympathize privately with victims like the baker, they will not go so far as to feature them as show guests for fear of inviting the boycotting and legal threats of the gay lobby.

I guess we’ll see.
Very good point, but I am sure we all know the answer to that question.
I wonder if it’s actually possible to buy the Scumbag Steve hat and send one each to the plaintiffs and the judge.
Not a chance.
Actually, I saw him interviewed on FNC. I don’t remember which show. It could have been The Kelly File.
That’s what Johnny tells us.
I believe Johnny.
Good point. It is like the liberals think everyone and their time and property belong to the government, so the government as the owner of the people and their property, can decide how government property is traded.

“Now he’ll get more orders for gay wedding cakes than he could possibly handle. He could find some gay bakers and sub the work out to them and make a killing. The best revenge is success.”
And let it be known later that he donated all funds received from gay cakes to a christian organization.
Somewhere in the bible is reads: “The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just”.
Probably not prudent to piss on the cook, either.
