CAKE SHOP CHAOS: Colorado Targets SAME Christian Baker Over Transgender Cake

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.15.18

The Colorado commission aimed at tackling bigotry and racial prejudice throughout the state is again targeting a Christian baker who refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding; this time attacking the chef for refusing to create a confection celebrating transgenderism.

According to the Denver Post, Cake shop owner Jack Phillips is suing Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper after he claimed the state’s Civil Rights Commission again targeted the baker for refusing to “commemorate a gender transition.”

“The owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop has sued Gov. John Hickenlooper and state civil rights officials, claiming Colorado has renewed its religious persecution by investigating him — in defiance of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision — for refusing to create a cake commemorating gender transition,” writes the Post.

“Jack Phillips of Lakewood brought the lawsuit late Tuesday night in Denver U.S. District Court against Hickenlooper and members of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission,” adds the article.

In June, the Supreme Court ruled that Phillips was exercising his constitutional rights when he refused to bake a cake to commemorate a same-sex wedding; saying it was his “freedom of expression” to deny his services.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Sides with BAKER Who Refused to Make Same-Sex Wedding Cake

posted by Hannity Staff - 6.04.18

The United States Supreme Court released a highly-anticipated decision Monday morning, siding with a Colorado baker who refused to make a same-sex wedding cake.

In a surprise 7-2 decision, the court discounted an earlier ruling against the baker in a Colorado court, but refused to go so far as to decide the broader issue of whether American businesses have the basic right to refuse service to same-sex couples over religious beliefs.

“The Commission’s hostility was inconsistent with the First Amendment’s guarantee that our laws be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion,” wrote Justice Kennedy.

The decision went on to say the “broader issue must await further elaboration.”

“The reason and motive for the baker’s refusal were based on his sincere religious beliefs and convictions. The Court’s precedents make clear that the baker, in his capacity as the owner of a business serving the public, might have his right to the free exercise of religion limited by generally applicable laws,” Kennedy wrote. “Still, the delicate question of when the free exercise of his religion must yield to an otherwise valid exercise of state power needed to be determined in an adjudication in which religious hostility on the part of the State itself would not be a factor in the balance the State sought to reach.”

LATE NIGHT LECTURE: Watch Jimmy Kimmel's EPIC FAIL Over ‘Wedding Cake’ Ruling

posted by Hannity Staff - 2.09.18

Late-night comedian and self-proclaimed political pundit Jimmy Kimmel embarrassed himself during his television program this week; attempting to mock a California judge’s recent ruling on ‘Same-Sex Wedding Cakes” but revealing his total ignorance of the hot-button issue instead.

The liberal comic’s joke fell flat on its face this week, when Kimmel weighed-in on the judge’s decision that the state could not compel a baker to create a custom wedding cake for same-sex couples should it violate his or her religious freedoms; proclaiming the baker’s right to freedom of expression.

Kimmel attempted to skewer the decision, launching an unfunny and misinformed skit that showed a waiter refusing to serve diners because they were either homosexual or Jewish; showing he truly has no understanding of the court’s ruling.

“Are any of you gay?” asked Kimmel. “I should let you know that you won’t be enjoying any of our signature salads tonight. Our salad chef today is Tony and he believes homosexuality is a sin. So, he won’t be creating any of our salads for you.”
