Cake maker who refused to bake for gay wedding labeled a ‘Nazi’ by Colo. civil rights officials

 Colorado baker Jack Phillips was found guilty of discrimination for refusing to prepare a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, but his attorneys said Monday that a state official who ruled against him is guilty of anti-religious bias.

Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys released an audio recording in which Diann Rice, a member of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, said that Mr. Phillips‘ citing of his religious beliefs in his defense puts him on the same level as Nazis and slaveholders.

In 2012 Mr. Phillips declined to bake and decorate a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, saying that his Christian faith prevented him from doing so. He offered to make them any other kind of cake, but the two men filed a complaint against him with the commission.

  1. There's more than one way to skin a cat. I agree with his initial refusal based on his faith. He should have baked them a cake with the ten commandments on it or a crucifix or bible verse.
    Do you think a bakery owned by a muslim would be held to the same standard if asked to bake a cake? Of course not.
