Colorado baker to stop making wedding cakes after losing discrimination case
CBS News ^ | May 31, 2014

Posted on 05/31/2014 10:00:07 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The owner of a bakery in Lakewood said he will no longer sell wedding cakes after the Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruled he did discriminate against a gay couple when he refused to sell them a cake.

"We would close down the bakery before we would complicate our beliefs," Phillips said after the hearing, according to CBS Denver. Phillips also admitted he had refused service to other same-sex couples.

The commission also ordered the baker to submit quarterly reports about the customers he refuses to serve and retrain employees to serve everyone.

Now the moral degenerates will come in demanding that phallic-themed cakes be created for them. Watch and see.

When Masterpiece refuses, they’ll just start another lawsuit.

Nothing placates these barbarians. Nothing.

Muslims will never be forced to do anything, nor will gays have to serve Christians

He should re-open with a huge sign stating...

“Christian and Kosher Wedding Cakes”

It’s not a court. It’s a commission. Even worse.

"I stand corrected, it’s tyranny by an unelected “commission”. How very Soviet:

"

Yep. That's one element of the real Colorado as differentiated from the state advertised to tourists in other states.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the courts force him to make cakes against his will.

Homosexuals will say that they are still being descriminated against because he is not making any cakes at all.

That is one way to handle it, just don’t sell wedding cakes to anybody.

I still would like to know how some unelected commission gets to tell a person that they have to do reports.

He has to do this stuff, OR WHAT?

Me, I wouldn't do this stuff. I would, however, eliminate the commission.

I’d like to buy a wedding cake from this bakery, under the table of course. The Colorado injustice commission can kiss my ass.

Nobody has any right to demand anybody else does business with them, particularly when that person is intending to do an immoral thing with your goods or services.

“Tyranny by the courts.”

Technically it was tyranny the minute they steped beyond the Text of the Constitution and assumed the extra-constitutional power of issuing edicts no where written of in the law.

That is when they stopped being judges and made themselves dictators.

They say we must respect the court, that is not true, we must respect the power, the power of the guns they weld nothing more. Respect for people and their judgement is something that is earned and retained with demonstrated Good judgement. Our Federal Injustice system as it stands today has little more than a long track record of dishonest and entirely lawless edicts.

We are thinking of ordering something and have him bring it to an abuse women’s shelter. Does he have a website?

Can’t believe the court ordered him to provide lists of everyone he refuses to serve. Good Lord!
