Colorado Supreme Court says: Let them eat cake

[sirs]

Once more, there is no fucking bingo.
 Baking cakes or refusing to bake them is NOT a form of speech.

Nor does ANYONE have a right to have a cake baked for them.  The kicker being when xo goes off on a some form of rant how something someone said isn't a "bingo", makes it all the more so.  Thanks xo

Texas Cottage Food Law signed into law by Governor Rick Perry will help prevent the homo-agenda
from being forced upon people that do not desire to have their religious freedoms violated, because
bakers under the Texas Cottage Food Law do not have to be licensed.

That might be a way around it, if you're willing to take a chance on food-borne illness...

Which is why you have laws to sue companies, that could be so negligent

I'm guessing if they bake wedding cakes they must bake them for all , but the court did state that at least some of the justices would have liked to consider whether the deorating of the cake was the speech issue.

The black live matter one should since they did publicly state they support police. But only in the briefest way possible.

The gay baker should as long as the cake say nothing blatantly against gays. But somehow people cannot tell the difference

If I was a Christian baker I just would stop offering wedding cakes and concentrate on other areas of baking.

I use two bakeries for treats for our customers and they both do not do wedding cakes.

So there are ways to avoid the homo-agenda....thank you very much!

If I were a Nazi convention, I don't think I would want to eat a cake baked by a Jewish baker, Nor y=would I want to make any Jew richer.

But aside from the idiotic aspects of  people who think Jeezuz wants them to refuse to bake cakes, Hnumpah is  right.

A right is a right is a right.  People in this country, have a constitutional right not to be forced to turn from their religious beliefs (which would include not performing a function, no different than Bruce Spingsteen.  Actually more so, since the Boss isn't declining based in anything religion, but some manner of principals). 

What people don't have a right to, is cake

[hnumpah]

What they do have a right to, if they walk into an establishment that does business with the general public, is to be treated like anyone else, regardless of race, religion, creed, sexual preference, or whatever. If the business owner doesn't wish to treat everyone the same, he is free to close his business.

[sirs]

And they are treated like everyone else......until that time they demand that the shopkeeper/baker/florist/MUSICIAN, or whatever must perform a function that runs counter to their 1st amendment rights.  If the Boss gets a pass, which effects exponentially more people, so should the baker

No one has a right to cake

[Plane]

If they want to be licensed and permitted to run a business open to the public, absolutely.

You want to live in a country like that?

I really want to keep the first amendment ,  free speech should not be strictly for the press and "artists" it is for us all.

I really don't want the Government to define "speech" and "art", they are no good at it.
