"Kern County Superior Court Judge Eric Bradshaw ruled Friday that Miller acted lawfully while upholding her beliefs about what the Bible teaches regarding marriage."

This isn't over yet. The Colorado baker is still tied up in court years later. Lefties never, ever give up.

And you know d@mn well that, since it is California, there are plenty of bakers who will do such a “wedding” cake. This baker is being specifically targeted because they are a Christian who won’t bow to their idol.

How can these same-sex idiots ever going to survive when neither of the idiots know how to bake a cake. If they can’t do that, there’s no way they can cook meals.

The same was/is true of county clerks who do not want to be involved with issuing fake "marriage" licenses to gafs. It doesn't matter that there is a ready clerk available to do this without delay, the gafs want EVERY clerk doing it, especially the ones with objections.

The hobby shop where Mr K (not the one on this forum) buys his modeling supplies is in the same complex as Mr Phillips’s “masterpiece cakes” (https://www.masterpiececakeshop.store/).

You know, they can always take the cake to some other place to get their obscene weirdness attached. That’s what Mr Phillips told them to do and they $hat themselves.

It’s like....the cake isn’t really.....that important..... hmmmm.....

Haha, maybe marriage isn’t that important to them, either! :D (And in fact, it’s not. And you should see how ugly some of them “marriages” get when they start to fall apart. Something stinks right from the get-go if causing a problem for a cake vendor is more worth it than having a sane, timely, fun, memorable celebration. And when they get divorced, it stinks to high heaven. If there are any kids involved, it’s always like the worst thing you’ve ever seen. Think “lesbian seagulls” Sarah and Jennifer Hart who drove off a cliff with their six adopted kids in the car. Just reading fortunes over the phone I’ve heard some hair-raising stories about same-sex couple breakups that never make the news.)

Anyway, you can bet if I was a professional cake-baker I would be in business about two minutes. (Not because my cakes are bad; they’re actually pretty good. But I would throw jerks like that out of my place and then I would spend the rest of my life in court.)

Is it still legal to put a sign in your establishment that says “we can refuse service to anyone”....? Yeah.

Granted, this is a relatively conservative area of Commiefornia, but when the appellate court gets ahold of the case, they'll set it "aright."

Regardless, the Gaystapo will now harass patrons of the bakery, threaten its suppliers, post fake negative "reviews" on social media, and continue with the death threats to the owners and employees, which will only tepidly be "investigated" by law enforcement before the case is closed.

I know for a fact that many more bakers and wedding merchants have sympathy for bakers of conscience like this, and do not want to involve themselves in a controversy which may destroy, or diminish their business. But it's time to take a stand. These one-off bakery objectors make easy targets being so isolated and alone. But is an entire FIELD of bakers did the same, and supported each other, the story would be much, much different.

Same sex couples really do love their cake.

Cake is a “civil right,” apparently.

Yep. Cake (and parades) make their lives worth living.

Can’t get over the overwhelmingly supportive comments at the article. Has America finally had their fill of whiney, self-entitled toggafs?

They need to stop voting for them.

As much as I despise the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and others of their ilk, I despise even more those who keep voting them into office term after term (I live in Adam Schiff's district, unfortunately, and he wins by landslides).

While I think this is good news, and that there might be some semblance of sanity returning I’m also concerned that the baker will show up to a smoldering mess where their bakery used to be. As the left doesn’t like to be told “no”.

Kern County. There are still pockets of Americans holding out in California, just as there were Japanese holding out after WW2.

The way I see it is that Democrats have done the math. There are now enough liberal corporations that want to cancel services to conservatives, that the concept of “just bake the cake” is detrimental to the cause. A bit of liberal manipulation and viola, all of sudden Paypal/Citi/Chase/FedEx/UPS/Amazon/gofundme cancelling their services to conservatives is perfectly legal. Hypocrisy? Double Standards? All ignored for liberals.

Yeah, I see the peril too, and it’s because that these conscientious objectors are so few and far between. They make handy, conspicuous targets. But is a whole field of Christian business owners joined in on the value train, it would be much, much harder to justify cutting many of them off.

Red County Sheriffs play for keeps in CA; they’re about as fed up with “woke” BS as anybody, and uniquely positioned to do a few things about it.
