A federal judge has affirmed a Colorado law that effectively bans business owners from freely expressing in public their religious beliefs about marriage and homosexuality.
Colorado was the loser in a similar dispute, the Masterpiece Cakeshop case in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the state show "hostility" to the Christian beliefs of Jack Phillips in its handling of his refusal to make a cake for a same-sex wedding. Since then, openly homosexual Democratic Gov. Jared Polis has pursued a gay-rights agenda that includes allowing people to indicate their sex on driver's licenses according to their "gender identity" and banning counselors from helping young people who want to rid themselves of same-sex attractions.
Now, Judge Marcia Krieger has upheld a Colorado law that barred web designer Lorie Smith and her studio 303 Creative "from publicly expressing the religious reasons she declines" to promote same-sex marriage.
Smith, defended by the Alliance Defending Freedom, filed the lawsuit against members of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, Attorney General Cynthia Coffman and Aubrey Elenis, director of the Colorado Civil Rights Division.

I think the term “hanging judge” needs a new primary meaning.
More judicial legislation.
Time to remove these ‘judges’ from the bench, one way or another...
Wtf?!
Impeach this judge immediately - this is in direct violation of the first amendment.
War is coming.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents the government from making laws which respect an establishment of religion, prohibit the free exercise of religion, or abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the right to peaceably assemble, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.
“Sounds unconstitutional to me.”
It absolutely is. This Judge just single handedly amended the Constitution.
Slap down will come again from SCOTUS.
The illegal judicial oligarchy in this country must be ended. Soon....
He/she/it cant do that that. F* ck your honor, you have no authority to tell me how to run my business. Mind yours and go get lost.
Are there any cases of ultra orthodox Islamic bakers that have declined to bake a wedding cake that openly celebrates a gay marriage? It would be interesting to see what would happen if this issue came up in Dearborn, Michigan, or in Denver, Colorado.
She was confirmed by the Senate 83-0, which tells you that she was acceptable to the Lefties, unlike Trump's judges.
Funny how many of the Chimpster's judges have "grown in office"...
Sue the State and Judge for $100M
“Sounds unconstitutional to me.”
Yep. But it’s always good to see who’s on what side.
Judge outlaws first amendment. That’s his job.
So being a butt hurt homosexual trumps the 1st Amendment(Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Expression and freedom of association)
Unreal!!
ll businesses should not only ignore the ruling but also positively flout it by putting up credos on their walls and stating hostility to the QWERTY goals to each customer at checkout.
This not only needs to be overturned but this “judge” needs to be penalized. That ruling is the type that first year law students already know is in error before they even start school.
Why has this ass not been overturned?
He proves my hypothesis...faggots think funny...their minds are as twisted as their sexual choices.
Trump should have this communist bitch arrested and put in irons
