Answers for the Faith – by Dr. D
The Christian baker who was ordered on Friday by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission to bake wedding cakes for same-sex ceremonies has responded by eliminating wedding cakes entirely. Here’s the story from CBS in Denver:
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. …
A judge previously ruled a business owner cannot refuse service to a customer on the basis of sexual orientation. Phillips appealed to the commission, but it upheld the decision.
That prompted Phillips to decide he would no longer make any wedding cakes. He said he would be fine selling cupcakes for a birthday party for someone who is gay but added, “I don’t want to participate in a same-sex wedding.”
Response: It will be interesting to see if there is any kind of legal response to the baker’s decision. This should end the dispute since I don’t see how the government could force him to continue to make wedding cakes. As it stands he is giving up a lucrative part of his business for his faith.

legislate a small business out of business.
good job you penis on penis sympathizers
or, I need a very, very fancy 5 tier “birthday” cake for my female wife to be, delivered at this time and this place…The “birthday party” is at the church…
Nice to see this man stand strong for what he believes. I wouldn’t bake them a cake either! Doesn’t he have the right to refuse service to anyone? Used to be that way.
Agreed. No compromise.
he did until he said out-loud why and then it became discrimination. If he just told all the buttf@ckers he was ‘overbooked sorry!’ then they would have to prove he was discriminating based on gender preference. loose lips sink ships.
what he should do is pack up his cake making stuff and do just like the gun mfrs, are doing\\\
pack up and open buiz in another state, preferably a state that wants your business and tax dollars
f&ck Colorado
Just replace the sugar with salt and keep making cakes.
lmao
I believe it is not the best business practice to turn away paying customers,that said,tis a private business and with a private business should be able to serve who ever you want and don’t want to,why it is a private business,seems there are no longer private businesses in this country.
The f#@king government,that’s why!
cant he counter-sue for violations of his religious freedoms?
i mean 2 can play at the “you violated my rights” game.
Yea, if there was any law in this country. Since there is no law, that’s not going to work, now is it?
Unfrigginbelieveable. Just like Henry said, they can force businesses to make a cake for same sex marriages but they can’t force businesses to enforce the 2nd Article.
Why would someone even want someone to make the wedding cake if they didn’t approve of their marriage? Doesn’t the homosexual community publish books of homosexual business owners? This dispute doesn’t even make sense.
This is just another plot to stir up the quagmire we already float in here in the good old u.s. of a. Restaurants can put up signs that say “no shoes, no shirt, no service.” That is discrimination by these “gay cake” standards.
But the real issue is to divide and conquer…just like with the race thing. For the most part, people of any race, gender, sexual preference, etc., doesn’t make issues out of things. They go about their business and live their lives. But in order to distract and/or initiate hatred, someone has to start something. We lose all of our rights when this happens…so who do you think is Really behind all of this.
