Colorado Christian cakeshop sued a third time for discrimination

[Emily]

The point is keeping the precedent from being set that doctors and hospitals can’t refuse service to people because they are gay, as they are doing now.

There are doctors who refuse service to people who smoke. To smoke is a choice. There are doctors who refuse service to the obese. To overeat is a choice. One may say that to be homosexual isn't a choice but, regardless, to marry someone is a choice, to have a celebratory ceremony is a choice, and to serve cake is a choice.

What you mean is that there are zero cases of halal bakeries refusing to serve people based on their sexual orientation.

That's about Muslim taxi drivers refusing service to people with service dogs. People with service dogs are protected by law from discrimination.

That's on opinion piece, but it notes an incidence of a Muslim hairdresser at a unisex salon refusing service to a woman because of his religion. That constitutes gender discrimination, also illegal.

It is also illegal, in Colorado, to discriminate based on sexual orientation. You proved the canard about bigots not going after Muslims 100% false. And of course Muslims who believe they are entitled to discriminate should be liable to lawsuits or prosecution just like anyone else who wants to violate people’s rights.

Do you believe the constitution allows people to do anything, no matter the harm to anyone else, as long as their religion tells them to?

Of course not, what kind of idiot question is that?

 

[Colorforms]

Fascists were historically all for using the Bible as an excuse to discriminate against gays. Just saying.

Or, in the case of the left, political correctness. Just saying

That seemed to be the principle you were applying in this case.

Hardly, not baking a cake for a ceremony you can't condone is not the same as ritual sacrifice or genital scaring.

You really are a demonstrable demagogue.

Discriminating in public accommodations goes hand in hand with atrocities. Does the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing ring a bell?

No, not baking a cake for the sole purpose of stigmatizing people promotes the sort of atmosphere in which churches are bombed or nightclubs are shot up.

We usually call that fascist slavery when you force someone to do something by force of law that they did not want to do.

Well that's a new twist on the fascist position. If you don't want to participate in something that you, by law and by constitutional protection, don't have to participate in, it's the same as bombing a church.

So we fascists don't care what you believe or what you want, shut up and bake the cake or we will try to destroy you.

No one is forced to be a baker. But, by Colorado law, if you are a baker you have to offer the same products to straight people that you offer to gay people, just as you have to offer the same products to white prople that you offer to Black people.

These intolerant lefty bigots can’t resist harassing Christians every chance they get. Ever notice that lefty NEVER targets Islamic businesses? Whether a florist or bakery...it is invariably, uniquely Christians that leftyfilth stalks and targets.

It gets worse. Some kook wanted Phillips to make a cake with a depiction of Satan performing fellatio.

We are not dealing with rational people.

I think the people who have sued him have too much time on their hands and should find a hobby...like baking cakes.

Meanwhile, I think he's a hypocrite. If he'd bake a cake to celebrate divorce then he isn't that fervent a fundamentalist Christian.

So how many divorce settlement cakes has he baked, Captain Straw Man?

No but your fascist bastardization of the law is.

And then there is the constitution and religious freedom. But even that is beside the point. There used to be a standard where, if you didn't agree with what someone was doing, you stepped back and didn't participate.

The new standard, set by fascists, is now, you must not only participate, but you have to do it with a smile on your face. I am so glad that this baker is kicking fascist ass in court.

 

[EatTheRich]

No but your fascist bastardization of the law is.

You claimed that it is “fascist slavery” when you “force someone to do something by force of law that they did not want to do.” But every law does that.

Too bad that's not what happened. Or would you have us believe the baker refused to bake the cake for the sole purpose of stigmatizing homosexuals? Hopefully, you realize the silliness of your assertion.
