Yesterday afternoon, 28-year-old Dave Mullins and 31-year-old Charlie Craig stopped by Lakewood's Masterpiece Cakeshop to order their wedding reception cake -- what they hoped would be a rainbow-layered masterpiece decked out in teal and red frosting (their ceremony colors). Although they'll be reciting their vows in Provincetown, Massachusetts, in September, the couple plans to celebrate with a reception for friends and family in Denver in October.

Must be a slow news day. The fairies should just bake their own cake. I really don’t think they need to go whining to the “media”. It isn’t that big of a deal.

There’s a bakery in Oakland, CA that’s been around for a while, and has sold many wedding cakes. The wedding cake models are in the back of the store under display cases.

The cake models once had “bride and groom” (female and male) figurines on them.

Now the cake models on display have no figurines at all.

Go to a faygut cake shop and get you cake.

Then you can buy your cake and eat it too.

Really? In all of Denver they cannot find a shop to bake them a cake? Not to mention the myriad of confection shops owned by gays in every major city in the country. Unbelievable! Obviously the most clueless homosexuals in the U.S.

Really; just how hard can it be to find a homosexual friendly bakery to make a cake? This is nothing more than an attempt at extortion.

“It was the most awkward, surreal, very brief encounter”

Yeh for the heterosexual owner of the bakery.

Bravo Mr. Phillips....this is still a free country and Mr. Phillips just exercised his Constitutional Right. The otherwise merry gey couple should respect others as they are demanding they be respected.

Not a slow news day, but one more press opportunity. You should read in the press how the noble couple has told their supports they will not condone bombing of the shop, as some have suggested.

Not to mention all of the alternative newspapers in a city the size of Denver. Certainly the cake shops that advertise there could help them. And what about their gay friends in Denver, couldn’t they recommend some gay-friendly bake shops?

We better start contributing to Jack Phillips’ Legal Defense Fund right now. He’s going to need it. Fur will fly real soon now for this “hate crime.”
