   EC>Doesn't change the fact that the first baker broke the law.  Same as   
   EC>employment discrimination.  If an employer discriminates against you in a   
   EC>hiring decision, they cannot defend themselves by saying "well, SOMEONE   
   EC>hired them, so no harm done."   
      
      
   >So...these two same-sex sodomites, who are `married' in Massachusetts...go   
   all > the way to Colorado to `celebrate'!   
      
      
   EC>Other way around.  Apparently they lived in Colorado and went to   
   EC>Massachusetts to get married, since they couldn't do that in Colorado.   
      
      
   EC>So the baker would not have been "participating" in any way in the   
   EC>marriage, since it had already happened, and the baker said he would have   
   EC>refused to bake a cake for a purely NON-religious civil union celebration   
   EC>so it really had nothing to do with religion or marriage.   
      
      
   Paint it any way you like. Both the baker and you and I talking here KNOW this   
   is for two same-sex sodomites. Which flies in the face of the baker's strongly   
   held religious beliefs.   
      
      
   These two clowns go all the way to Massachusetts to get `married'. And,   
   instead of doing their celibration THERE, they come back and walk into the   
   very first bakery they espy on the boulevard, order a cake to `celibrate'   
   their (lower voice, look over both shoulders) same-sex wedding\civil union,   
   get turned down. A different bakery suddenly steps up out of nowhere, and   
   volunteers to make the cake. And the innocent, casual ACLU...which just   
   happened to be in the neighborhood (quite by accident, you understand), steps   
   up and takes the Christian bakery to court for violation of Colorado law!   
      
      
   A question arises:   
      
      
   Why the *ACLU*? Where's a city or county prosecutor? Who instituted charges to   
   begin with? Ah...the *ACLU* did, right?   
      
      
   Is appearing more and more to be a putup job.
