Another political hack in a black muumuu setting forth an edict. Why do we ascribe any amount of societal honor to these political whores?

Easy to identify and trace, he’d end up in jail on assault charges.

There’s a better idea: simply say that for every gay wedding cake he’s compelled to bake he’ll donate the profits to one of the number of Christian organizations that provide services to flip gays straight.

Problem will quickly solve itself.

And some justice will use sophistry to deem it constitutional.

This is more about property rights than religious freedom...

It's also about the rights of entering into (or otherwise) a legal contract. The libs have basically asserted that a businessperson must enter into a contractual agreement against one party's wishes. In contract law, that's illegal, and makes said coerced contract worthless and unenforcable.

Are the courts going to throw Muslim taxi drivers in jail for refusing people who have service dogs?
This type of refusal of service should apply to them also.

Did it to a photographer too. I think they purposely search out businesses to harass.

Interesting about that. I wonder if his lawyer brought that up during trial.

I could have been a random coincidence, however based on the past tactics of the militant homosexuals, I’d say you are correct.

..." fails to take into account the cost to society and the hurt caused to persons who are denied service simply because of who they are.

------------------------------------>

What about "the hurt caused to persons" - like the baker - who are forced by the government to abandon their personal views "because of who they are".

The baker could stop doing wedding cakes or maybe just stop doing any “Writing” on baked goods.

You are correct. Could have packed the cake with fudge.

This is my problem with fags also...don’t make me a participant in your perversion.

The homos are always telling us, "if you don't like 'gay marriage,' then don't have one." Well, this man doesn't like counterfeit marriage but is being forced to have (participate in) one. What liars the homosexual Left are.

So there are some men left.

So.... Real men do bake cakes. Yes, apparently they do. Hope this goes to the SCOTUS.

"This view, however, fails to take into account the cost to society and the hurt caused to persons who are denied service simply because of who they are.”

Even with racial prejudice and discrimination -- the market will be the most moral deciding factor of the "hurt caused." Let my local grocery store discriminate against black folks, and watch me go shop somewhere else, and that grocery store be hounded out of business by moral people. That's the approach my grandfather took when racial discrimination in business was legal, back in the 1920s and 1930s. It worked. Such discrimination is held in contempt by right people.

This baker is behaving in a perfectly moral way -- peacefully, civilly discriminating against behavior that he thinks is wrong. The gay folks could go find another bakery.

You pays your money and you takes your chances; the judge pointedly ignores the truth that discriminating against open homosexuality is very different from discriminating purely by race. In any case, we risk bad moral behavior on the part of inevitable assclowns as the price of freedom, and hope that good overcomes bad. In a Christian society, that's what happens. America should be celebrating and embracing its Christian heritage. Loving your neighbor as you love yourself, treating others as you would yourself be treated -- that's a basic Christian tenet and why we live in a slavery-free Western Civilization.

> While Colorado’s constitution states, “Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as marriage in this state,” Mullins and Craig had nonetheless planned to “marry” in Massachusetts... they planned to hold a reception in Colorado. When they visited Phillips’ cake shop to ask him to provide a wedding cake for the event, he declined, explaining that his religious beliefs prevented him from participating in same-sex “weddings.” Phillips said he would be happy to sell them brownies or other treats to serve at the reception, just not a wedding cake.

Thanks NYer.

Because they've convinced us that it's illegal to assault (tar and feather) them.
