And another thread about the baker off and running.

One side throwing out words like "deviant" to defend the baker's "right to discriminate."

The other side throwing out phrases like "against the law."

I guess this baker (who I supported during his entire case based on his rights) is really loving the attention he received, so he's back at it again.

No, I think the fruit loops are trying to get a payday at someone else’s expense.

it's truly despicable when some tranny troll demands a cake like this one.

Phillips says he recently received and declined a request for “a three-tiered white cake. Cheesecake frosting. And the topper should be a large figure of Satan, licking a 9” black *****.” According to the lawsuit, the customer wanted the ***** to be a functioning item “that can be turned on before we unveil the cake.”

While you can't rule out him liking the attention, round two was started by a trans lawyer. NOT the baker. He has since filed a lawsuit of his own, as he should since it's been made clear that he's being targeted and this latest suit by the trans lawyer looks to be instigated merely to harass the guy.

Then by all means, enlighten me as to what in this baker's behavior suggests that he is really a Christian rather than just a person who talks the talk and doesn't walk the walk. After all, the very definition of a Christian is someone who behaves in a Christ-like manner, which this baker is definitely not doing. I'm in a same sex marriage. My younger sister is an extremely religious married woman with two sons. She welcomes my wife and I into her home, invites us over all the time, and I love her, her husband, and her two kids like crazy. What does that make her? A Christian. I don't force her to be gay. She doesn't force me to be heterosexual. She doesn't force me to be religious. I don't force her not to. We accept each other's differences. And she acts this way toward everyone she meets. She is a true Christian, someone who behaves like Jesus would every day.

there are 10s of dozens of bakeries in Lakewood, Colorado that could bake cakes for transgender people in celebration of their gender reassignment, yet these this person picked this particular christian baker and filed a complaint? It does appear this chrisitan man is being targeted for his religious beliefs, which I hope will be protected in the courts.

I wonder if the CCSC is specifically targeting him? Hey libs, why you all so hot to put this guy out of business? You're a vengeful bunch, aren't you?

You have a direct line to Jesus at the WWJD call center, do you ?

The baker isn't the one trying to force anyone to do anything. He isn't trying to prevent anyone from living as they want to, loving who they love, becoming the gender they feel they are.

He won the wedding cake case, and he'll win this one against the vindictive, bigoted commission.
