DENVER (AP) — Colorado's Civil Rights Commission on Friday ordered a baker to make wedding cakes for same-sex couples, finding his religious objections to the practice did not trump the state's anti-discrimination statutes.
The unanimous ruling from the seven-member commission upheld an administrative law judge's finding in December that Jack Phillips violated civil rights law when he refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple in 2012. The couple sued.
"I can believe anything I want, but if I'm going to do business here, I'd ought to not discriminate against people," Commissioner Raju Jaram said.

Invented “rights” to homosexual marriage and abortion are now trumping God-given ones.
Indeed, if bakers, photographers, etc., comply with this insanity, if they don’t fight, it proves that’s exactly what Americans have become... slaves.
Just a few short years ago, I had confidence that Americans wouldn’t buckle to such fascism. That Americans had freedom and liberty in their DNA, thanks to the country’s history and heritage. That Americans had too much moxie, too much vinegar, to bow down like scared little rabbits. But nope, just look at the GOP, rolling over at every turn. Just like that PA governor a few days ago.
All I see is cowering and surrender. It’s pathetic beyond words, what has become of both America and the American populace.
Says it all, read no further. Commissioner?
The issue is not anti-discrimination, it is enabling the shoving of your beliefs down the throats of whoever you damn please. If I was the baker, I would quote a very high price, say $2000.00 above the normal rate and say it is for “mental anguish” added to the ingredients.
I’d move.
Unless you are a muslim taxi driver, then you don’t have to.
It’s just so stupid. Will he go to jail if he refuses? If he makes the cake poorly, will he get fined? Will he have to make it over and over until the fudge packers are happy with it? What a piece of crap America has become!
The Lord looks after His own.

I bet he'll make a wedding cake for his friends and people he knows and trusts. Heh heh heh.
He should make clear that he bakes both heterosexual wedding cakes and homosexual wedding cakes. The ingredients are not necessarily the same.
Crappiest? They might like that. Think about it.
If it were me I would require an application with the name of the groom and bride, date, etc before confirming any date for wedding cakes.
If the application says Steve and Bob, well, then you know they are gay. I would then take a vacation day for that date and tell them, sorry I will be on vacation that day.
Yep that says it all
Don't see the jug-ears, though.
I wonder how far the gov is willing to take this. If he’s forced into a paddy wagon and hauled into custody, I’m not sure the American Patriots will take that. Remember the Bundy Ranch?
The aim of the gays is to punish people who will not celebrate their perversion when they could have simply found another baker. I’m sure if the baker makes a cake they don’t like that they will sue again.
When are we going to wake up to the fact that we are a majority being bamboozled and robbed and enslaved by a force that has been slowly, systematically seized by a minority working through government to achieve power of force?
I swear. Americans are a lot smarter and better and righter than most conservatives give them credit. Most conservatives wail that "We live in a nation where more than half of the idiots (excepting present company, of course!) voted for Santa Claus!" Wrong. We live in a nation where the votes that have tipped leftist politicians into office, represented pretend Americans and/or harvested franchises from homeless shelters, old folks homes, unions, etc. The real people on the ground say Screw Santa Claus, just about two to one. But because the MSM, pop culture, and public-funded education is made up of wildly disproportionate numbers of leftists, it projects an "America" where throngs are supporting this crap. They are as imaginary and pretend as Raiders of the Lost Ark.
If that happens, this country will explode. We’re not sedated enough.
You don't want angry people preparing your food.
Now that’s what will happen. The American Patriots will, have, do tolerate that.
Bundy Ranch gives me hope.
