DENVER — If bakeries can be compelled to make wedding cakes for same-sex marriages, can they also be forced to create anti-gay cakes?
That’s the question before the Colorado Civil Rights Division after a customer filed a complaint against Azucar Bakery in Denver for refusing to write anti-gay messages on a Bible-shaped cake.

Yea they will just say (rather stupidly) that hate speech isn’t protected speech.
That way their definitions control and they can just scoot right on by the real issues.
Makes me want to see if there are any bakeries around here run by muslims - wouldn’t mind ordering myself a mohammed cake every once in a while.
As I understand it, the baker offered to make the cake and provide him with the materials to decorate it to his liking. I’m not sure that it would be considered the same as a flat out refusal to provide anything.
I doubt that the complaint is over not providing anything.
It is my guess that the complaint is about refusing to bake a cake for the customer.
The baker didn’t refuse to bake the cake, she refused to put the message on it that he wanted and offered him the materials needed to put it on there himself.
Although those involved won’t say at this point, I’ll wager what he wanted put on the cake was a scripture verse. In time we will know for certain.
She refused to provide the cake he wanted to order.
Unless the Republicans in the state legislature have their way, in time she will be driven out of business for her actions.
The present reports are that he wanted her to write “God Hates Gays” on it. That doesn’t sound like any Bible verse I’ve heard.
Do you have a source for that?
“According to Ms. Silva, Jack pulled out a piece of paper with the phrase “God hates gays” and anti-gay passages he said were from the Bible. Silva also said that Jack wanted her to draw two men holding hands with an “X” crossing them out.
PING!
We have only one side of the story, so we are given the choice of what to believe, someone who I believe suffers a mental condition, or what we think a Bible believing Christian would say.
The woman who suffers the mental condition says what you posted, the Christian has said “Out of respect for the process, I will wait for the director to release his findings before making further comments.”
We can each chose who we believe for the time being. I time, truth will come out.
