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.

Lots of negative reviews for the place on yelp.com, based on this incident, but some people are supporting the merchant for taking a stand.

Probably afraid of lawsuits. What a racket the advocates have going now.

Soon...

Every public elementary school will be required to have a neighborhood rainbow pride parade ...parents not attending and throwing confetti will be charged with a hate crime.

It should be everyone supporting the merchant. I assume if a gay bake shop is asked to bake cakes for the National Organization for Marriage, they will oblige?

Cannot believe some facebookers have suggested violence and bombs against this poor shop.

If they sold online, I’d buy $100+ from them.

I sent them an email of support for their right to do business with whomever they want. The >2% homos will be trying to force them to comply or close them down, like the NM photographer case.

The gay movement is a house of cards. Right now it’s all driven by emotion - everyone reaching for the mantle of tolerance.

Behind the facade is a disgusting reality, i.e. two guys having anal sex.

This is another example of the hole we've dug ourselves with political correctness.

When liberals don't care for something or someone they can claim to be "offended" and expect immediate support from the media. However, if anyone else is truly offended by something, the media will present them to the public as being bigoted, insensitive or hateful.

What you are saying should be a joke, but I’m afraid them’s are prophetic words.

Colorado once passed a Constitutional Amendment saying, no special rights for special activists. Then they got bent over by a limp wristed defense of the Amendment by none other than, then Attorney General Ken Salazar.

As the DNC says, Lean Forward we aren’t threw yet!

Right, all they needed to do is order up a huge tray of rainbow Oreos. Problem solved.

Well, order a white heterosexual cake, then at home do the rainbow bit with tubes of frosting (not you, the gay couple ;))
