Colorado court just ruled that Jack Phillips has to create cakes celebrating sex reassignment. @AllianceDefends is on it: "The harassment of people like Jack and Barronelle has been occurring for nearly a decade and must stop. We will appeal this decision"



Scardina v. Masterpiece Cakeshop

Description: The same attorney who filed an unsuccessful complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission in 2017 commenced a lawsuit in state court over the same custom cake

I realize there's a lot of hotly contested issues with the insurrection right now, but I just have to say, and I don't mean to draw the attention from that issue, but this is messed up:

Folks need to leave Jack Phillips and his family alone and leave them be to do business and live peaceably; he hasn't gone out of his way to be nasty or cruel while refusing to do so or refusing because of who happened to request the cake, he simply and POLITELY refused to make a cake that would violate his beliefs, nothing more. Either he has a freedom of conscience as mandated by the 1st Amendment or he doesn't; IMO, this court order is 100% unconstitutional because it basically puts Mr. Phillips rights and that of the customer on a scale and saying that the customer's rights are "more equal", which is blatantly unlawful in the language of the Constitution.

If Mr. Phillips' personal beliefs upset prospective buyers so much, they can certainly take their business elsewhere; it's not like there's a sign out front that mandates that cakes MUST be baked and bought at his shop. It's not like anyone is being denied life and limb because he won't bake a cake that goes against his beliefs.

At this point, this is just court-mandated harassment by the state of Colorado for the crime of being Christian while baking, nothing more. Either we're equal under the law or we're not.

I realize there is bigger fish to fry, but I truly do feel for Mr. Phillips because he's done nothing wrong here. And as a business law student, it makes me exceedingly fed up with so many people who think it is legal and ethical to force people to provide a service against their conscience, no matter who they are.

If folks don't like his beliefs they're certainly free to take their business elsewhere; it's not as if he's forcing them to come to him and order product he doesn't offer sheerly for the purpose of antagonizing him.
