Fox News ^ | June 3, 2014 | Todd Starnes

A family owned bakery has been ordered to make wedding cakes for gay couples and guarantee that its staff be given comprehensive training on Colorado’s anti-discrimination laws after the state’s Civil Rights Commission determined the Christian baker violated the law by refusing to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.

Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, in Lakewood, Colorado was directed to change his store policies immediately and force his staff to attend the training sessions. For the next two years, Phillips will also be required to submit quarterly reports to the commission to confirm that he has not turned away customers based on their sexual orientation.

We can’t be surprised by anything these days. America is in freefall before our eyes.

being forced into a re-education facility is NOT the way to make friends.

In the battle between good and evil, Obama and his voters are not on the side of good. This baker needs to tell the members of that “Civil Rights” Commission (1) that freedom of religion is a civil right, and they have no authority to trample that right, and (2) where they can (and quite possibly will) go.

This so called, “Civil Rights Commission” has violated Mr. Phillips’ First Amendment rights. He needs to sue the bass turds right into bankruptcy.

We were sent to "drug abuse" training. Those who didn't know how to abuse drugs where enlightened.

What are they going to do? Throw him in prison for not taking sensitivity courses?

I would tell them to go to ..... and sue them as you suggested!

Meanwhile, the bullying tactics of the militant gay rights community have not hampered the bakery’s bottom line. They’ve gotten so much business from the sales of cookies and brownies, they’ve temporarily stopped making wedding cakes

The baker should tell the pro-pervert fascists to go burn in hell.

We’re seriously getting to the point that bullets will be the only antidote to stop this insane tyranny.
