A baker is facing a discrimination case after refusing to make a cake with anti-gay feelings.
Marjorie Silva, owner of the Azucar Bakery in Denver, is the subject of a complaint from a customer declaring she discriminated against his religious beliefs.
The case saw a customer order a cake in the shape of a bible, which Ms Silva agreed to make. But according to the baker, the man then produced a piece of paper with a hateful message on it. He also wanted the cake to have two men holding hands and an X on top, she said. Ms Silva agreed to make the cake without the message and offered to provide icing and a pastry bag so he could write it himself. The customer refused, she said.
Colorado's Civil Rights Division is reviewing the matter.
The complainant is reportedly Bill Jack of Castle Rock. In a statement to KUSA-TV, Mr. Jack said he believed he "was discriminated against by the bakery ". He added: "As a result, I filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Division. I will wait for the director to release his findings before making further comments."
Another Denver baker, who refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding on religious grounds, is fighting a legal order requiring him to serve gay couples.
