If that same person walked into the bakery and said they wanted a birthday cake (same decoration) do you think he would have refused? Was his refusal due to their sexual orientation or the stated purpose of the cake?
I can't be at your house to read the news to you, sorry. You're going to have to read it on your own.

This response is not coherent. It has nothing to do with what I asked (I'm not asking you to "read the news" but to rub two brain cells and think about the problem out of black and white terms). I can see you're flustered though, maybe nap time for you is appropriate.
Imagine if you're running a bakery and a White person walks in and requests a cake. They describe a completely innocuous theme to which you ask what for? And they reply they're throwing a White Nationalist gathering.
Would you bake this cake?
I've never made a tiki torch themed cake before, but I guess I'd give it a try. Baking a cake for someone doesn't turn me into that person.

Flustered? No. I'm just not sure how many times you expect me to repeat myself. The answer was given. The cake was refused because the woman is transgender, not because of the cake design. They were fine with making the cake as a birthday cake. They refused when they found out the party was also to celebrate 4 years since transitioning.

White Nationalists are not a protected class under CO law. Transgenders are as part of the group defined by sexual orientation. You cannot discriminate against a protected class.
They lost because the state commission screwed up. I think even bureaucrats understand how to make things right this time. I am sure they crossed every i and dotted every t.
Won't matter. The CO State commission will still lose. Again. Here's why, from the same-sex wedding cake 7-2 ruling:
"The government, consistent with the Constitution's guarantee of free exercise, cannot impose regulations that are hostile to the religious beliefs of affected citizens and cannot act in a manner that passes judgment upon or presupposes the illegitimacy of religious beliefs and practices"
Two prohibitions there. Cannot impose in the first place, and then cannot act to enforce that imposition.
Yes I would. And then I'd donate the share of the sale to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The only thing that I'd donate to the SPLC is the slag in the bottom of my septic tank.
