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.

Oh when they come out they’ll be repeating: “Love is hate.” “War is peace.” “Freedom is slavery.”

[thesearethetimes...]

Yup. Given the opportunity, people will make their choices known/vote with their money... I think it is called Capitalism ;)

"Staff, be advised that Colorado is now a fascist state."

[Williams]

Absolutely fascist.

[tumblindice]

“Yep, and we are told to just keep voting. That will change everything.”

Democracy? Democrats don’t play by their own rules: Oregon votes to ban recognition of homo marriage and a federal district court judge (`gay’) appointed by The Won finds the law unconstitutional.

This is all about shoving your deviant lifestyle in the faces of those who disagree with it. If I were to order a wedding cake and the baker told me he was a homosexual and didn’t agree with heterosexual marriage, I would simply take my business elsewhere. It's his business and if he doesn't want mine, no problem at all. Too bad they can't be as accommodating.

Plus, there is no way on Earth that the same standards will be held to them

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if there’s an ingredient to ensure the mother of all constipated bowels to take fudge packing to a new level.

[ExTxMarine]

I’ll bet the bogus “lawsuit” did not say which ingredients are and are not allowed in the cakes.

So, what you are saying is when the recipe calls for "equal parts liquid and dry goods" there is always room for swill and spit?

First off, let me be sure and let everyone know that I am NOT advocating for doing anything intentionally wrong to any cake. BUT, we all know that if this guy made the best, most terrific, orgasm-inducing cake of his life - the people at that wedding would pan it and give him a bad review! PERIOD! Just admit that no matter what, this guy would get a bad review and more complaints whether he makes this cake, doesn't make this care, makes the cake perfect or uses platypus eggs! At this point, the Gay Mafia are out to put this guy out of business - if they can!

I like the way you think…but I would have a slightly different approach.

I believe that the perversions that LGBT people engage in are Satanically driven and as such I would set my little bakeshop up as the most God loving and inspired bakery in the city. I would perhaps give it a Christian name… The Lord’s Table bake shop perhaps, and being catholic myself I would affix crucifixes to the walls and perhaps paint the walls in gospel scripture. When the people who glorify in their perversions demand a cake from me ( and I believe they would hate being in my bakeshop but would come anyway) I would bake that cake with holy water… they would either choke on it or be converted, perhaps both.

[A message]

Between the homo-fascists and the Islam-fascists baking cakes is a risky business.

[silverleaf]

He needs to stop making “wedding cakes” and make all-occasion “Genesis cakes” bearing the following verses:

Genesis 1
“27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Sign on Genesis cake display:
“Sorry, no other Genesis designs are currently available and aside from flower and color choices, custom orders are not accepted”

[ExTxMarine]

If you could order online, I'd consider ordering brownies from him.

I don't think you can order THOSE KIND of brownies for shipping out of state anyway. LOL!

[GOPJ]

Gays as victims plays better than ‘gays as bullies’...

[tanknetter]

There’s a much better option to sabotaging the cake, and is legally permitted as well.

Agree to bake the cake. State up front that the profits or proceeds will be donated to a Christian organization specializing in gay conversion therapy.

The issue will quickly resolve itself.

How anyone couldn’t recognize the fascistic nature of this type of ruling as well as the truly frightening effects that could rise from it is beyond me.

If he ignores the judge he gets jail time?

I would ignore it and change my bakery name to, “Slice of Freedom.”

It’s a human right’s issue. It really is.
