A Denver bakery recently won the right to refuse to bake a cake with an anti-gay message, prompting one famous Colorado conservative columnist to ask if it’s a double standard.
The dispute arose a year ago, when local resident William Jack asked Denver’s Azucar Bakery to bake several cakes, each depicting a Bible and decorated with biblical verses condemning homosexuality. The bakery refused, and Jack filed a civil rights complaint.
Michelle Malkin saw something fishy about the decision and tweeted:
Just in: CO Civil Rights agency rules bakery can refuse anti-gay cake, but it's discrimination to refuse pro-gay cake http://t.co/DyVazDCgTW

According to the Denver ABC affiliate:
Last week, the Colorado Civil Rights Division ruled that Denver’s Azucar Bakery did not discriminate against William Jack, a Christian from Castle Rock, by refusing to make two cakes with anti-gay messages and imagery that he requested last year.
[However,]
Last year, the Colorado Civil Rights Division ruled that another bakery, Masterpiece Cake Shop in Lakewood, could not refuse to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, calling it discriminatory.
Malkin’s fans agreed.
@michellemalkin @DLoesch what's chilling is that discrimination isn't fully allowed anyway. It's supposed to be a free country.

Sounds like the Colorado Civil Rights Division should review its old decisions before announcing new ones. Maybe they just want to have their cake and eat it too.
