The Only Baker in Colorado
« on: October 06, 2022, 01:20:42 PM »
The only baker in the entire state of Colorado is being harassed again. This time for not baking a "gender transition birthday cake".

There have to be some hot shot lawyers around that can pro bono or for a cut of the action help this poor guy sue the entire left for like a trillion gazillion dollars. This guy has been harassed for what, ten years now?

Or ever had sex with a Trans or contracted monkey pox. I know, I'm in shock too at this level of bigotry

At first blush this seems like continued, unwanted solicitation for things which make the baker uncomfortable. It all feels so icky. With the threat of a lawsuit, memories of public humiliation, and monetary loss, it's almost coercive. The baker has repeatedly said the sexual undertones of these requests demands make them uncomfortable. Still they continue. 
Is it (gasp) sexual harassment?!?!

Only straight white Christian persons born with penis can sexually harass someone.

If this baker only had a loving teacher in the first grade to teach him the joys of alternative sexual lifestyles and teach him how to question his own sex this manifestation of bigotry could have been averted.

The solution is obviously tranny pole dancers in every grade school during recess.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I am a bit surprised the guy is still in Colorado as the courts there haven't helped him at all.

Destroy everything a person has worked to build, take away everything a person has to live for and you've created a very dangerous person.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

You got me on that one. Kudos.

For monkeys (and several other species) it would be xenophobic attacks, which more often than not lead to the death of the victim or the lone wolf shunning for wolf packs.

Actually, there are a bunch of things for which I'd like to sue Lefties as a group.  For a billion gazillion dollars in today's money, not next week's money.

Now this whackadoodle NY AG is telling Colorado what to do. She wants them to go after the only bakery in Colorado. Really, Colorado - open a second bakery for crying out loud.

I'm not a member either. I just hit refresh/stop to see the stories. Here's the gist:

Quote
New York Attorney General Letitia James keeps busy. When she's not tweeting Donald Trump's fine and interest, she's interfering with other states.

If you think the lawfare against Trump is bad, though, Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips can't go a day without being sued. If you remember, he was the Colorado baker who was sued because he wouldn't make a cake for a same-sex wedding as it clashed with his Christian beliefs. The Supreme Court finally ruled in his favor: he'd happily sell a cake to the lesbian couple, but he couldn't be compelled to make one from scratch. That didn't stop the lawsuits, though. Every LGBTQ person in Colorado has harassed him.

He’s been in and out of court several times — he’s a target now — having been dragged back to court in 2018 after the Colorado Civil Rights Commission again filed suit against him for turning down a customer who wanted a gender transition celebration cake. The last we heard, a Colorado court ruled that  Phillips has to create cakes celebrating sex reassignment.

I've been following this charade since 2012. Now it's 2024 and I'm writing about Philips again. James, who's suing the world's largest beef producer "for misleading the public about its environmental impact," has inserted herself into the latest Masterpiece Cakeshop case.

Masterpiece Cakeshop, a Colorado bakery, refused to make a customer a cake when they found out it was to celebrate her transition.

This bakery has discriminated against LGBTQ+ people before, and I'm urging the Colorado Supreme Court to stop this transphobic discrimination.

There is only one bakery in the entire state?  How is that possible?  I live in a small town (in another state) and we have a bakery.

Is joke.

They get sued constantly for failing to do special projects for gay and trans activists as though gay and trans people have only one possible bakery they can go to.

If there was a black baker in Colorado, I wonder how they'd feel if a bunch of nazis showed up demanding a birthday cake decorated with swastikas to celebrate Hitler's birthday - or if some klansmen wanted a cake decorated with a cross-burning motif.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.
