The “I’m an artist” angle is a new one, and pretty creative. Since he offered to sell them other baked goods he has a good case, logically anyways.

Although, if ultimately forced to bake cakes for gay weddings, I think the best option is to fight fire with fire. Bake a good cake, then announce that the profits will be donated to a group dedicated to converting homosexuals to heterosexuals. He’ll never be asked to bake a cake for another gay wedding ...

1. Find a Gay Owned Print shop.
2. Have them print out flyers on the dangers of homosexual behavior.
3. Sue them when they won’t print it..
4. FORCE them to print it using government machinery they wanted to force others to make cakes....

Good. They've positioned this as a violation of the cake makers' First Amendment rights, both of freedom of speech and free excercise of religion.

It's time to pound some cake into the intolerant homosexuals faces.

The undisputed facts show that respondents (Phillips) discriminated against complainants because of their sexual orientation by refusing to sell them a wedding cake for their same-sex marriage

He didn't refuse to sell them a cake. He refused to utilize his artistic talents to promote an agenda which he did not support.

This is a first amendment freedom of expression case. An artist should be free to pick the subjects in which he will exercise his artistic talents.

If the judge forces him to make them cakes, then he should charge $5,000 per cake...

Why must he sell to people he doesn’t want to?

So if a couple of avowed Nazis came into the cake shop and demanded a cake with a picture of Hitler and a huge swastika, the cake shop owner, maybe of Jewish extraction, would have to bake it? Or how about if some Klansmen came in and demanded a cake with a picture of a black man being lynched? Would the cake shop owner have to bake it?

Both Nazis and the KKK are legal orgs. They have their rights. And if homos can demand people bake cakes for them, I guess hate groups have the same rights according to the lib legal eagles.

If a company can be forced to create something to sell that is objectionable to them, how long before a company can be forced to sell objectionable items created by others?

For example, in the case of a bakery, will they be forced to carry groom-groom cake toppers?

Why not let the free market take care of things? Surely there is an enterprising homosexual who would like to cash in on this niche. Although I doubt it’s a large enough niche to be profitable.

this is what America has come to under Obama...
we are all forced to pay
to prosecute a little bakery shop
for choosing
not to sell a “wedding” cake
to a couple of homosexuals

since we are all stuck paying for the prosecution, does the baker have a defense fund we may also contribute to?

If I was the lawyer I would just have the client claim he switched to being a Muslim and have his wife dress in one of those head to toe lamp shade outfits and dare the courts to force me to comply!

Waiting for a judge to force a Jewish deli to cater to a Nazi party.

The State of Colorado ceased to be a State where our Government honored that “profound Reverence for for the Supreme ruler of the Universe” when beguiled people chose John Hickenlooper as governor and trusted Democrats to lead our State Legislature. Unless the entire United State of America is NOW made to be as Sodom and Like unto Gomorrah and therefore is no longer a Christian Nation —but a Queer Nation then Colorado has ceased to be an equal among the States. Fact is one cannot embrace the Fraud of same sex unions and be a child of God. This baker began his business in the United states of America in the state of Colorado.The purpose of Government is to protect Property.when the Government can dictate what a man can produce—and what a man must produce— and to whom that individual must sell a product he has produced then we are no longer a free people but reduced to slavery.Of a right he should appeal but I fear there is No longer a rule of Law and certainly NO justice when statute law overrides the State constitution. When immorality is elevated to a position of protected class status then there is NO justice.

In this case, the baker is doing business in Colorado and same sex marriage, whether conducted in or out of state, is not recognized by law. Having the reception in Colorado would likely be considered a protest against existing law and to force the baker to provide materials for that protest would not be an acceptable function of the court. In any event, the illegality, in the resident state, of the act being celebrated should invalidate any perceived right to service in that state.

How’s that iron-fisted homo-marriage law working out for you so-called Libertarians out there?

Sigh. Guess I am just stubborn or stupid, but if I were the cake shop owner I’d just close up and refuse to do it. I know, that’s extreme, but geez, the government forcing him to provide a service for someone that he prefers not to (for whatever the reason!), then it’s not too hard to picture the next step being that because he’s a Christian he now has to wear a cross in public so he can be easily identified (kinda like those Stars of David back when the Nazis started bullying those they disliked. Paranoid? Nope, just stunned that our nation is declining so quickly into this cesspool and so many folks are too dumb to say anything or even to realize it.
