i thought it was accepted that if an owner of their own company did not feel comfortable serving someone they had the right to say so and act upon it. this gay couple could have went anywhere else instead of being so stubborn but with the culture today they knew they would have a backing. if a homosexual couple owned a bakery and refused to make a straight cake no one would care. why? because that is what we see as normal nowadays. really messed up and disgusting if you ask me. where is our freedom? all these people stepping down from positions of power as well, just as soon as allegations of rape come up. the only backbone left is the spirit of President Trump and the proud Americans who stand tall behind him. all the others can go live in democratic disguised communist china, or go over to democratic socialist countries in europe. America is for the free, not the equal except equality in our bill of rights.

 So can I sue a halal deli for not making me a BLT?

 There aren't enough adjectives in all of the world languages combined to describe how sick I am of the Left.

Doesn’t get much more f**ked up that this

Free country my ass. And i don't mean free country my ass as in no gay or lesbian freedoms and SJW. I mean free county my ass as in you can't freely get away from these fuckers and ignore them if you don't want to be around them and don't agree with their point of views. Simply get out of the shop i don't want to serve you two homos.

What's the problem? If it was a liberal cookie palace they'd refuse service to police and straight white males who have their shit together. But they wouldn't have to pay a fine would they? Not that they could afford it anyway.

This place should tell them to fuck off and make a huge deal out of being asked to pay and call it a breach of free speech. Maybe there will be enough outreach to the top and Trump will get involved and give them a pass like they did to Lavar Ball's son when he was caught STEALING in China. Funny how a Republican hard working business can get fined 135k but a teenage thug can steal designer and then bash the president and be praised and let free.

And in Colorado:

"Ironically, Colorado bakers who are gay are allowed to refuse service to Christians. In April 2015, the Civil Rights Division of the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies ruled Azucar Bakery in Denver did not violate the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act when owner Marjorie Silva refused to bake a cake decorated with Bible verses about sin and homosexuality."

Supreme Court Reverses Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission
Scotusblog ^ | 6/4/2018 | Scotusblog
Posted on 6/4/2018, 10:17:18 AM by CFW

"Whatever the confluence of speech and free exercise principles might be in some cases, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission's consideration of this case was inconsistent with the State's obligation of religious neutrality. The reason and motive for the baker's refusal were based on his sincere religious beliefs and convictions."

Supreme Court backs Christian baker who spurned gay couple





WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday handed a victory on narrow grounds to a Colorado Christian baker who refused for religious reasons to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, stopping short of setting a major precedent allowing people to claim exemptions from anti-discrimination laws based on religious beliefs.

The justices, in a 7-2 decision, said the Colorado Civil Rights Commission showed an impermissible hostility toward religion when it found that baker Jack Phillips violated the state's anti-discrimination law by rebuffing gay couple David Mullins and Charlie Craig in 2012. The state law bars businesses from refusing service based on race, sex, marital status or sexual orientation.

The ruling concluded that the commission violated Phillips' religious rights under the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.

Two of the court's four liberals, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan, joined the five conservative justices in the ruling

Listened to Shapiro's podcast today on this and (if correct) its a win but not an overwhelming one after hearing why the decision was made. More so based off of how the baker was treated/time period and not free enterprise/religious rights, etc. Believe Thomas and Gorsuch wrote their thoughts on it and both where not in line with how the conclusion was reached even though it was the correct conclusion so this may not be a complete victory.

 ;) If it said narrow decision, then the number of judges on each side would matter. If it said narrow grounds, the number of judges would be unimportant, the decision to vote one way of the other would be closely weighted. Since it says grounds and not decision, it's not a contradiction nor is it MSM math.

You mean like all those news stories calling it a "narrow decision"?

In Narrow Decision, Supreme Court Sides With Baker Who Turned Away Gay Couple
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/04/us/politics/supreme-court-sides-with-baker-who-turned-away-gay-couple.html

NPR had the same headline, but changed it from "decision" to "ruling." 

Still, they should have worded it differently because the media did make it sound like it some kind of 5-4 decision.

I was just reading the one posted. I agree, it could be confusing.

Unfortunately You're going to be waiting a while since Christians don't view divorce with the same disgust as they view faggotry.

Nonsensical hypothetical.  Unless the Christian who has been divorced 2 or 3 times asks the baker to put something on the cake celebrating something that violates the baker's conscience.

No he didn't.  He responded to someone asking him a stupid question about divorce.  And when did Jesus ever talk about homosexuality?

Here is the irony.. Jesus spoke about people who divorced and remarried. He said that if you divorced and remarried. You are committing adultery and the person you marry is committing adultery and adulterers will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Why would a baker be more appalled by something in the old testament that Jesus never speaks of, but ignores an obvious affront to Jesus and God from the New Testament? Jesus' only exception to this was adultery. You could divorce for adultery.
