Bakery sees business boom after ‘gay wedding cake’ refusal (CO)

LAKEWOOD, Colorado, July 31, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The owner of a cake shop in Lakewood, Colorado said that, following a refusal to provide a wedding cake for a homosexual couple his business has more than doubled.

Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, told local media that this wasn’t the first time he had turned away homosexuals seeking wedding cakes, but it is the first time his stand for Christian principles has resulted in so much media attention and some death threats.

Phillips explained that since 1993 the family owned and operated business has refused about half-a-dozen requests for same-sex wedding cakes. However, on Sunday he said he was forced to call police because of several death threats over the latest refusal.

The situation developed on July 19 when two homosexuals entered the shop and announced they were getting “married” in Massachusetts and wanted to order a wedding reception cake for their reception in Colorado. When Phillips refused, one of the pair, 28-year-old Dave Mullins, is reported to have said, “F*** you and your homophobic cake shop,” and directed an obscene gesture at the owner before leaving.

The “tolerant ones” just don’t realize the free advertising they are giving this bakery and Chik Fil A and any other place they want to boycott out of business. There is SO a lot more practicing Christians in this country than they think!

Yep-—the “sexual orientation” “Rights” are all about eliminating Religious freedom—the Judeo-Christian religion.

There is no right to think like a Judeo-Christian —that type of religious Ethics is against our laws, now (how funny——the fundamental Ethics of the US Constitution)-—or almost, if the gaymafia get their way as they brainwash the future generations with “Glee” productions and Gay “Pride” in the public schools and letting Jerry Brown normalize sodomy in kindergartens to corrupt children and pervert their sexual identities. (Homosexuality is learned).

Who would have thought Big Brother could force such a sick, perverted view—to make sodomy “good” and normal AND A RIGHT!!!!!!—could happen in a profoundly Christian nation where Freedom was inserted into Just Law. (Virtue is only promoted in Just societies-—NEVER VICE!)

Now, we have Fascist laws that dictate how and what people can think. No God allowed and children are forced in the public schools to think dysfunctional, narcissistic, evil behavior is “good” and “normal” when it is the opposite. Marxism is about The Big Lie-—teach fundamental lies to the children so they will not be able to think and reason—no foundation in logic and Natural Law Theory. Teach and condition them to think that Government dictates Right and Wrong—there is no God or Rights from God——just the State.

According to the Huffington Post an online petition in support of the homosexual pair was set up and “has drawn nearly 400 signatures” while a Facebook page, “Boycott Masterpiece Bakeshop, currently has over 200 members.”

LMAO

I’ll bet 90% of those members are more than 100 miles away from the bakery as well.

Folks need to realize that many Chick Fil A’s are located on university campuses across the country. Those locations are most likely to suffer protesters and loss of business. So, if you know there is one on a campus near you, try to make it there.

I think that’s a safe bet.

I think it’s excellent that the business has doubled.
