I’m from Colorado Springs, Colorado - home of New Life Church and Focus on the Family. It’s so beautiful there, with Pikes Peak on the western edge of town and the plains to the east. In the summer, purple dragon-looking thunderheads race down the mountain and the lightning takes over. You can watch all night. I had a

Show me the way!

Oh dear lord...before all else? Ahhhhhh!!!!!!

Yes. The honesty. She could have painted a rosy picture to readers but she was honest. And, according to her, been honest since. I guess I'm really shocked at the vitriol and judgement for one woman's story. But I am fucking weirdo in this case, and I get that defending her situation is against the tide. Forgiveness

Forever alone much?

We are lucky, haha! I have to say, I write my comments from a relatively safe perch of a happy marriage. Being in his shoes or her shoes would feel very different.

YES.

Right? He is responsible for telling the truth about how he is feeling and it sounds like he is doing that to the best of his abilities.

Sorry her choices aren't living up to your standards.

And I just read your other comment and have to say, I really hope this never does happen to you, and best of luck with your health. Sorry, I am sucker for triumph over human failings stories.

I can only assume you have never experienced this exact situation, so yes. Believe it or not, people are humans and fuck up in new and selfish ways all the time. There is no magic man. There is no magic woman. All we get are tools and hopefully, a chance to make it right. There is only love, communication and

(Clapping)! I am monogamous married person but props to this woman, the infinite love and maturity shared between her and her husband, and her courage in acknowledging her needs and getting them met. And holy shit, the honesty of getting caught - and working through it. Relationships: this is how they are done.

More balls, please!

I often meet people who have complicated relationships with food - also, I am one of those people. What is written here about this woman reminds me so much of my disordered-eating years. Food was a magical substance that could cure me, sedate me or kill me. Fiction was fact and I was a neurotic binge-eater or a

Oddly enough, in Jesus-loving, John Elway-snowboard-and-ski land, some people in the state legislature were kind and compassionate enough to come together and do something really awesome for gay people.

Speak for yourself, Pinkham!

Nope. Not in Colorado. Oddly enough, the bakery created a fantastic cake for a dog wedding the week before, which really irked me. I'm all for people not having to violate their personal beliefs, but in this case, Masterpiece needed to get a club license versus a vendor license. Then, he could say no - "I'm only a

Amazing! She's totally funded! Way to go, people of the Internet.

Actually, in the state of Colorado, gays are a protected class when it comes to punlucky vendors.

A lot of people here in Denver are screaming that this dick's rights are being violated, but bigots are not a protected class in Colorado! Gays are - and the original case of Masterpiece Bakery was a clear cut case for the ACLU and the State of Colorado. If you want to own a business license, you need to offer one
