Legal in Colorado to Refuse to Make Anti-Gay Cake

[Kirk Freeman]

I am so old that I remember when all this was about "freedom". Next thing I know I am being ordered to bake cakes . . . by INGOtarians.

Let's make no mistake. This was never about him refusing to do business with anyone. Never happened. Anyone could shop at his bakery and buy anything they wanted.

This has always been about forcing him to create a special items to celebrate and promote things he does not believe in.

You can't claim to be in favor of freedom and condone that.

I’ve refused service based on requested materials that I have found objectionable.

I’ve never discriminated against any individual because of who they are.

The guy jacking with the baker intentionally needs beaten like an egg.

Let me guess, they were pushing some BS about pants being required?

Yep, screw those wackos.

 

[Fargo]

Yep, screw those wackos.

Pants are overrated.

Thats what I yelled last time I mooned the wife and her sister.

Much like the Queen, they were not amused.

 

[HoughMade]

Yep, screw those wackos.

You might consider a different choice of words while pantless. This may lead people to draw certain conclusions.

You take your chances walking through the door, nobody forced them to enter.

When did you ever score a point against an INGOtarian? Something like that would have been a memorable event.

Please, show us on the doll where Johnson/Weld touched you inappropriately.

This is where you counter strike. Find a gay owned bakery and ask them to bake a cake that says sodomy is sin. When they refuse sue them.

If only Mr. J was still around to give us an official ruling on this situation.

I am against people being forced to give their labor to someone else against their will. Seems there is a word for that.

Baker claims religious persecution again — this time after denying cake for transgender woman

Same bakery.

My guess? People targeting them, knowing they'll be "refused", so they can get their 15 minutes.

Well, SCOTUS kind of coached them up in that last case to not be so blatant in their persecution. Let's see if they learned and if it pays off.

Even if the law is on the baker’s side, he can still be destroyed with suits and regulatory shenanigans. You can’t allow people with such dangerous thoughts to go unpunished.

This is starting to remind me of that scene from Cool Hand Luke. This will be his second time. There won't be a third...

Um...it's been done. Consistency is not the strong suit of totalitarians.

As noted above, on at least three other occasions the Civil Rights Division considered the refusal of bakers to create cakes with images that conveyed disapproval of same-sex marriage, along with religious text. Each time, the Division found that the baker acted lawfully in refusing service. It made these determinations because, in the words of the Division, the requested cake included “wording and images [the baker] deemed derogatory,” Jack v. Gateaux, Ltd., Charge No. P20140071X, at 4; featured “language and images [the baker] deemed hateful,” Jack v. Le Bakery Sensual, Inc., Charge No. P20140070X, at 4; or displayed a message the baker “deemed as discriminatory, Jack v. Azucar Bakery, Charge No. P20140069X, at 4.
