Thanks, IKE!

:heart::heart::heart:
 

Not that anyone gives a rats ass on how I feel on the subject of LGBT's but as I've said before from a sexuality standpoint I'm straight / I like females but I harbor no ill feelings against LGBT's.....to each their own.

My mouth is watering, will somebody hurry up and cut me a piece of that cake ? :)

Ditto on all the above, with the exception that I'm a straight female.

Speakin'a cake...What does Red Velvet cake taste like?
Yes I know that's an impossible question.....<grin>

I just saw something about it....never heard of it. But there is a bakery near buy, where you can get individual pieces of whatever and a coffee. So I might go see if they have it ?

I have never eaten Red Velvet cake. That bakery sounds wonderful. Speaking of cake, my spice cake turned out beautifully. I have had two pieces so far, both with home made ice cream.

Under federal anti-discrimination laws, businesses can refuse service to any person for any reason, unless the business is discriminating against a protected class.
At the national level, protected classes include:

  • Race or color

The Colorado anti-discrimination law (CO Rev Stat § 24-34-601 (2016), however, DOES include sexual orientation (gays), and this is the law under which the case falls:

"(2) (a) It is a discriminatory practice and unlawful for a person, directly or indirectly, to refuse, withhold from, or deny to an individual or a group, because of disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, or ancestry, the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of a place of public accommodation or, directly or indirectly, to publish, circulate, issue, display, post, or mail any written, electronic, or printed communication, notice, or advertisement that indicates that the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of a place of public accommodation will be refused, withheld from, or denied an individual or that an individual's patronage or presence at a place of public accommodation is unwelcome, objectionable, unacceptable, or undesirable because of disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, or ancestry."

Red velvet cake tastes similar to chocolate but not as dark or rich.

Fixed it for you. The Supreme Court ruling supersedes state court rulings. Just as Federal law trumps state law. All the time...... Every time. After the Supreme Court ruled in favor of this baker, it no longer matters what Colorado says or does. He, you, or anyone else cannot be prosecuted for refusing to bake a cake for a gay. You may not like that, or agree with it. But it changes nothing in regards to it's legality.
 
This is much the same with the Assault Weapons Ban. The Federal law regarding it was allowed to sunset back on Sept. 13, 2004. Because it would have been political suicide for either side to try and reinstate it. Several liberal anti gun states decided to keep it on the books at a state level anyway. It really doesn't matter in the least, because no one has ever been prosecuted and put in prison for owning an "assault weapon" in the states that have kept the ban on the books. The reason is because they know it would not hold up in court. It is nothing but a symbolic gesture with no legal teeth what so ever. Just like Colorado trying to continue to force bakery's to cater to gays after this ruling in favor of the baker by the highest court in the land. It's nothing but bold talk that will amount to zero action..... Because legally it can't.
 
An even better example you have of all of this Federal vs. State law misinterpretation, are all of these state, "Medical Marijuana Laws". That set up these supposed, "licensed stores" to sell it on some bogus "prescription". First off, it is illegal for any doctor to even write a prescription for a drug that is illegal at the Federal level. The "doctors" doing this are nothing but quacks playing a dangerous game.

The legal fact is every one of these, "Medical Marijuana" laws is not worth the paper it's printed on. Why? Because Marijuana is ILLEGAL on the Federal level. And has been for decades. Just because the Federal government isn't acting on this doesn't mean they have the legal right to do it. They don't. Some states are selling it outright to anyone who walks in the door. They're making an even bigger mistake.

President Trump could order the DEA and FBI into California, Oregon, Washington, and every other state in the union that have these illegal laws in place today. And he could close down every "Medical Marijuana" shop, and arrest every owner on Federal drug charges. He has the legal right to do it as we speak. All that is stopping him, along with the rest of the Presidents before him, is the politics involved. A state has the legal right to enhance Federal law, and in the process make it stronger and more effective. But they cannot legally ignore it and do the opposite. It is the reason we have the courts in this country set up the way we do. The Supreme Court has the final say.

It is much the same with states like California ignoring Federal immigration laws, and are doing whatever they please with all of this, "Sanctuary City" nonsense. They are all doing so ILLEGALLY. A lot of pro immigration people are being lured into a false sense of security because of this. They think because they are presently getting away with it, that makes it legal. It does not.

We are a severely divided nation. On drugs, gays, illegal immigration, and guns. This will only get worse. And it will, and in fact is, getting more dangerous because the division is so strong the people who oppose the written laws as they are in place today, are simply ignoring them and doing as they please. That is called anarchy. And it will end in bloodshed. History has proven this time and time again. This time will be no different.

The gay who wanted this cake could have simply walked out and found another bakery who would have been glad to make it for him. But instead he chose to make a big legal stink out of it and basically lost. He wanted to FORCE this baker to make it for him. There in lies the problem that is beginning to fester in this country. It is no longer good enough to be able to be who you want to be. But now these same people want to FORCE others to comply with what they want, along with how they feel. And many times remove freedoms in the process.

For example, they don't like guns. But they themselves choosing not to own them isn't good enough. So they want to regulate or remove your right to own them, because they think they know better as to what's good for you. That is always the liberal mindset when it comes to government. We've had gays forever. But now they want to FORCE their acceptance on the masses. And be able to have you arrested if you don't comply with their wants and belief's.

Illegal invaders ignore our immigration laws, and run, jump, or swim over here. All because they think they have some God given right to do so. They are forcing themselves into this country against our immigration laws. That's not, "immigration". It's an INVASION. Anyone who thinks this will be resolved peacefully is kidding themselves. Everything else is just a bunch of smoke filled coffee house crap.

I've had a forkful of RV cake a couple of times but avoid it because that deep red color comes from TWO TABLESPOONS of red dye that goes into a standard 9" layer cake.
