Anyone heard anything about this claim, I saw it posted on FB by a very libertarian friend:
"Why did this gay couple drive over 40 miles out of their way, passed several secular bakeries, to go into this particular Christian baker for their wedding cake?" It appears that this couple lived on the clear opposite side of the Metro Area. If nothing, I think this baker was specifically targeted because they knew he wouldn't do it.
These faggots are hate filled bigots that were more interested in suing Christians than they were in getting a cake.Quote:

It's not unusual for lawyers or plaintiffs to seek out a specific defendant in order to get a case in court for a definitive ruling.Quote:

You know, not every stupid thought that makes it's way onto the internet is worth investigating.Quote:

However, it does seem fishy. It's not like they were driving in eastern CO. It's Denver Metro, which sucks to go 5 miles, much less 40.
An activist gay couple "shopping" an establishment?
No, that would never happen.
Let's look at a fact-they were "married" in Massachusetts well in advance to darkening the doors of Masterpiece bakery.
They decided to hold their "reception" at a later date in Colorado.
Now maybe it's just me but whodafuk holds their wedding reception at a later date? I could understand in the case of a couple that got married out of the country or something but gimme a break.
The real heart of this case?
Mental health deficiency vs a private business.
This was discussed on Colorado Inside Out on Channel 12 last night.
A point was made that I did not know.
The whole thing happened before Colorado "legalized gay marriage".
Wonder if the US Supreme Court takes that into account.
Seems... pertinent.Quote:
