From One News Now
Phillips (pictured below) has said he sells bakery products to homosexuals at his Masterpiece Cake Shop in Denver but refuses to use his artistic talents for a same-sex wedding ceremony.
"It was the event I'm being forced to celebrate," he said. "I also don't make cakes for bachelor parties. I don't make Halloween cakes or anything with witchcraft or demons."
It was only the celebration of something he felt was wrong that he did not want to use his artistic talents for.

For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

Originally posted by firstfloor View PostOh, so that’s okay then …. No wait, it’s NOT. Can you imagine going into a barber shop and the guy says “Sorry, I don’t do Christian haircuts.” It’s idiotic. So, you see, stop picking on gays and don’t encourage others, including with your vote. Some won’t put icing on a cake and others will just throw them off rooftops – it’s all the same nasty intolerance and ignorance that the religioso love so much. Give it up, in Jesus’ name.
http://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-con...r-2816232.htmlActually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101
