This just in:

The owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop has sued Gov. John Hickenlooper and state civil rights officials, claiming the state has renewed its “crusade” by investigating him — in defiance of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision — for refusing to create a cake commemorating a gender transition... Link

From his Shop's web site:

Masterpiece Cakeshop will happily create custom cakes for anyone. But like many cake artists, Jack cannot create all custom cakes. He cannot create custom cakes that express messages or celebrate events that conflict with his religious beliefs.

“Freedom of religion is under attack.”

Freedom of speech is also under attack. This is an issue of compulsory speech - the state is attempting to force him under penalty to utter speech he choses not to utter.

Put a sign up in the window saying: “People who both hate us and hate the Faith trust us to make Delicious Cakes for them. You should too.”

Homosexuals and the like, together with their enablers(the state)have proven themselves poor masters when given a modicum of power.

Once the LGBT’s lose again in court they will resort to vandalism, arson, violence and eventually try to kill Mr. Phillips if they don’t drive him out of business first.

Can’t this be solved with a food fight?

Congress is not only screwing up on this enumerated rights issue, but it is screwing up in an election year.

This 14th Amendment issue is glaring evidence that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration is stubbornly refusing to do its constitutionally enumerated duty to make punitive laws to discourage state actors from abridging rights that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect.

14th Amendment:

Patriots in all states need to come to the rescue of the Christian cake baker.

More specifically, patriots need to elect as many new patriot lawmakers to Congress as they can in the 2018 midterm elections, lawmakers who will commit to doing their job to make laws to discourage state actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated rights.

This Baker is not your run of the mill “cake baker” at the local grocery store. This guy’s cakes are “works of art”. As such they are protected speech.

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

I’ve asked this before, but i’ll Say it again: Why would anyone want to ‘force’ someone to make food? There is just too much than can go wrong during the process.

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?
