Actually, the SCOTUS ruling was not clear other than SCOTUS ruled that Masterpiece was treated unfairly in the sense that Masterpiece had religious rights that must be considered and were NOT considered, not addressed. Masterpiece’s rights were simply ignored.

However, SCOTUS was wise as you will see below.

As CO Civil Rights Commission (COCRC) goes back to spar with Masterpiece, they must consider Masterpiece’s constitutional rights in their decision process. They can’t ignore them this time. They must write why they think homosexual rights supersede religious rights.

Now that might not sound like a big deal, but it is.

Because if/when COCRC includes written analysis of Masterpiece’s constitutional rights this time around, SCOTUS will have fresh meat to make a real ruling with.

SCOTUS is setting the stage for a landmark decision.

Yes. Yes it was. Tagline.



Luke 17:28-30 King James Version

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Unfortunately, yes, it’s a bad omen.

The spirit of antichrist is working its evil wherever and whenever it can.

There is a donation page on his website. Donate $5 but donate. He needs our support and if he loses, we all lose.

Your assessment is correct. This is about much more than just making a cake. These leftists and their benefactors will not stop until they have completely gutted the constitution. This is why SCOTUS picks are so critical. Just sent $50, but as you stated, any amount helps.

Masterpiece Cakes

Donation link is on the right-hand side of the page.

I’d LOVE to see the ‘discovery’ process. A modern miracle to see XX < > XY.

Far as I’m aware, in the human species, it’s an impossibility.

Baker should really rub the salt in the wound, “If they could show me, medically, the ‘switch-a-roo’, I would have been more than willing to make such a cake. But, until that time, I am unwilling to support the mental delusions of another.”

I don’t understand why his answer isn’t just...”I am booked that day.”

THAT

EXACTLY THAT.

Whoever answered the phone and talked to this agitating queer FAILED. IF you refuse service — and you will have to at some point — YOU DO NOT *EVER* SAY WHY!!!

NEVER! A generic refusal is ALL you ever need.

Now this guy is going through the WHOLE stinkin’ dog-and-pony show all over again!

I agree, why did the Baker not keep it to “I’m busy”.

The Social Justice Warriors will TAKE NO PRISONERS!

And neither should we. The time to lock and load is here. Don't fire until you see the white's of their eyes.

They are trying to drive them out of business as punishment for setting a SCOTUS precedent that is not in the leftards’ favor. In short, the LGBTQRSTUV movement wants to have its cake and eat the baker, too.

I wonder if a conservative volunteer living in the same metropolitan area would be willing to attempt to order a custom cake from a "gay-friendly" bakery and then to sue the daylights out of the bakery for refusing the order. The desired frosting text needs to be short and (heh-heh) sweet while barring any plausible legal argument that it's unacceptable profanity or outright "hate speech." For example, "Faggots Will Burn in Hell" probably gives the bakery a legal escape. Similarly, "Men Lying With Men is an Abomination" is too direct and likely will muddy the waters.

I suggest any one of the following messages for inscribing on the custom cake:

"Congratulations! You're not gay!"

"Real men love beautiful women."

"Be Right With the Lord -- Leviticus 18:22"

I'm sure y'all can think of other short, civilized messages that are nonetheless guaranteed to send faggots and leftists into paroxysms of hatred. Ideally, the "gay-friendly" bakery should be quite close to the the bakery of the beleaguered Christian trying to protect his right not to be violently terrorized into actively participating in deviant behavior.

A major problem, of course, is the difficulty of finding a crowdfunding platform that won't instantly boot the effort as "contrary to their terms of service." Another concern is vetting the volunteer for good character and the ability to carry through with the messy legal battle that follows. Any ideas?

This is exactly what Jordan Peterson is saying. You are compelled to speak a certain way. Isn’t this what POWs in Vietnam experienced.
