Yesterday afternoon, 28-year-old Dave Mullins and 31-year-old Charlie Craig stopped by Lakewood's Masterpiece Cakeshop to order their wedding reception cake -- what they hoped would be a rainbow-layered masterpiece decked out in teal and red frosting (their ceremony colors). Although they'll be reciting their vows in Provincetown, Massachusetts, in September, the couple plans to celebrate with a reception for friends and family in Denver in October.

Give them a couple of cinnamon sticks.
It died with the Political Correctness agenda. How about NOM and AFA staring to ask gay shops to bake their cakes? Wonder how THAT would go down?

Yours is a realistic comment that pinpoints why this is in the news...This encounter was more than likely orchestrated to result in yet another homosexactivist lawsuit against Free Speech.
They think they have found powerful, revengeful, new-found freedom; and yet....are quite simply more tools in the useful idiot drawer.
This is a group not known for tolerance, so, I'm afraid not.
BTW in light of this incident I will be monitoring local bakeries for any knee-jerk reaction to this news item, and will redirect my business accordingly.
If I lived there, I’d buy a cake of any kind from them as a vote of approval.
Maybe Freepers in that area could buy a cake from them.
What a bunch of intolerant drama-queen comments at the link. lol.
Years ago at one of the radio stations I work for the gal doing the weeknight requsts for lovers show took a call from a guy wanting to dedicate a song to his guy lover.
If I had been doing the show, which I oftn did...(BLEAYUCH!) I would have taken the call and said something like we’ll get to it if we can.
But the gal got confrontational and to make a long story short there were lawsuits that went on for years but eventually we lost. The gal had to go on the air, apologize, put the couple on the air and play whatever they wanted.
It was a set up! I knew that and would have handled it differently. Maybe it was a slow night for her but I doubt it. I often got well over 200 calls in the three or five hours of the show. Yes sometimes more than a call a minute! Obviously your chances of being on the air were slim no matter what your...persusion!
We had serious callers wanting to dedicate songs and declare their love for pets, plants, dead relatives and more! I threatened to rent a hall to get listeners together so I could lecture them that the show was background. If you were cuddling close and generating body heat we’d set the mood for you and your sweetie. No pets, plants, buildings or dead relatives!
Same sex couples...unless the names were ambiguous... would not make the air.
I’d buy from them too, but I don’t live there.
Go go yelp.com and bump up the comments from reviewers who have given this place positive reviews.
LOL.
No, we’re not.
I think you’r right, and good idea.
That story really does reek of a set up. The gay couple was lucky the girl got confrontational: She bit the bait, unfortunately.
Will do.
Nope.
They only know how to make do-nut holes.
I seriously believe the homos and lesbos have a list of businesses that are not known to be friendly to the agenda. They then target these businesses and cry to the press to further their intentions. It’s a sham they play for sympathy.
To be such a small segment of the population they complain far too often. The fix is in.
She should have billed them for a fruit cake.
They accuse the guy of homophobia, or fear of homosexuals.
Then, that crowd proves that he is justified by threatening to use physical violence.
So, see, the guy IS right to be homophobic! They want to physically (and financially) hurt him. They are NOT harmless. I bet they set the guy up, also.

BTW, why did homo people people have to steal the rainbow for their own private use? That just bugs the hell out of me. When I was in first grade, we drew rainbows. Now, if a kid draws one, the other kids think he’s queer and mom and dad start wringing their hands.
Why a cake, anyway? Wouldn’t a couple of pounds of fudge be more appropriate.
You said it.
Their goal is two-fold:
1. either force the business to do gay business
2. or if they will not, use it as a press opportunity to fan the flames and stir the pot.
