The Patriot Post® · Baker Loses Rights

On Friday, Administrative Law Judge Robert N. Spencer ruled that the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop near Denver must bake for and sell cakes to homosexual couples for their same-sex ceremonies. Last year, the Christian bakery owner turned away two men who “married” in Massachusetts but wanted a reception in Colorado. FRC’s Tony Perkins offers this rebuttal: “The President’s HHS mandate insists on the same kind of viewpoint capitulation. … Americans are being required to do something the Founders never intended: separate their values from their vocations. If Jack Phillips, Barronelle Stutzman, Elaine Huguenin, or Hobby Lobby want to serve the Lord full time, the First Amendment encourages it. What it doesn’t encourage are judges like Spencer, who trample Americans’ rights as a way of inventing others.”
