OPINION:
Incredibly, the U.S. Supreme Court found in favor of a Christian baker who refused to bake a wedding cake for two gay men. What would the original court ruling have been if these gay men had tried to force a Muslim bakery to bake a wedding cake for their marriage? What would the Colorado court have done? I am sure they wouldn’t have touched this issue.
The couple involved in this suit deliberately sought out this Christian baker to make a statement. The Colorado court jumped on it with massive fines and punishment to put the man out of business so he could be used as a warning to all Christians that their beliefs would not be tolerated.
It probably cost a fortune for this devout Christian to fight for his right to say no.
Some serious reparations need to be made for this man, and the judicial system must assure us that Christian beliefs and rights to refuse service will be honored and protected in the future. The state of Colorado should pay big, and now.
