Would this judge force athiest bakers to bake a cake for a church party?

Let America all thank Mitt Willard Romney
for imposing gay marriage against the Mass. Constitution.

Hooray, Mitt. And for RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE, too.
Way to go.

Why would you want to purchase an edible product from someone that was forced to make it for you?

> that's a basic Christian tenet and why we live in a slavery-free Western Civilization.

This judgement is the assertion that slavery [aka involuntary servitude] is endorsed and enforced by the judicial branch.

A good question; perhaps he can use it in his defense: asserting that they are not mentally competent and can therefore not enter into a contract.

This has encouraged me to reread Thoreau’s “Resistance to Civil Government.”

My mom and her best friend made wedding cakes for many years back in the sixties and seventies. There were no agendas or politics involved back then, just the quality of the cake.

Yes, he is very brave to stand up to the vicious Gaystapo. He will likely be destroyed, along with his suppliers, for his stance. But it must be made.

The only problem I saw is that he should never have offered himself to the possibility of jail. He should have said, “until you pry it from my cold, dead hands.”

Yeh...just like that funny, understanding, (Not a Marine) waitress. They’re all looking for attention. Ellen...her show isn’t about entertainment...it’s about brain washing.

Hope this goes to the SCOTUS.

Not THIS corrupt SCOTUS - the one that found "Constitutionality" in Obamacare and counterfeit marriage. Are you kidding?!!!

"How are there “gay weddings” in Colorado if same sex marriage is not legal there?"

A Judge decided it, and judges can do whatever they want. It's right there in Article 197 of the Living Constitution.

I can remember, when I was young, signs posted in businesses to the effect “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone”. If someone is refused service then he should take his business elsewhere.

I’m thinking...would you really want a cake baked from someone you just got through suing?

I respect the fella for sticking to his beliefs.

I’d be tempted to fill it with bitter apple or heavy dose of salt. You know, something real flavorful.
