Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, has been fighting to defend his religious freedom since 2012.
DENVER, Colorado, June 17, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — According to a Colorado district court ruling, Christian cakeshop owner Jack Phillips will be forced to bake cakes celebrating transgender ideology.
This new ruling, published Wednesday, is only the most recent development as Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop fights to defend his religious freedoms.
In 2012, a homosexual couple requested that Phillips make them a cake celebrating their “wedding.” Being a Christian, Phillips refused to compromise his belief that marriage is between one man and one woman.
The homosexuals took him to court and sued for his refusal to participate in their “wedding.” The district judge ruled that Phillips be forced to relinquish his religious beliefs and make the “wedding” cake.
Rather than compromise, Phillips decided to stop making wedding cakes altogether, despite the fact that this was nearly half of his shop’s income. He continued to fight the ruling, taking the case to the Supreme Court.
In 2018, the Supreme Court overruled the former ruling and determined that forcing Phillips to create the cake was a violation of the First Amendment.

Hmmm, I wonder what those cakes are going to taste like?
A mutilation of a mentally ill person.
I admire this man’s spirit and self control while surrounded by these liberals, so vicious and intolerant.
But how much longer is he going to get this dynamic going?
Jack appears in good condition, but he must be in his late 60’s, early 70’s by now. Maybe he just prefers to go out quietly rebellious, steadily pushing back in his own way.
If he wanted to move away from that snakepit county and start elsewhere, he would have done it by now.
That’s not a cake he did.
Not sure you’re much of a thinker.
Don’t make custom cakes. Have pictures of all the cakes you have made or designs of what you want to make. They choose from your selection.
No, they didn’t force him. They said he had to.
He won’t.
No, it’s not. He didn’t make a trans cake.
At some point this has to be recognized by a court as persecution.
No, that is not a cake he made. And I have bought a cake there before. His German chocolate and his Lemon cakes are.... well, masterpieces.
And the shop is surprisingly small, and utterly steeped in kindness and Christian love. It’s the way business used to be.
Add LOTS of laxatives to the cake.
The judge is wrong.
The baker should stop doing specialty cakes and just have a book of standard designs. If someone comes into the bakery they can chose something from the book. Make sure there are plenty of designs with scriptural references that the pervs can choose from.
This, from people who preach ‘acceptance’ and ‘choice’.
Ruining a person’s life, and enjoying it.
North Korea, China & Russia wouldn’t force someone to do that.
Freedom is becoming illusory in the US.
The communist terrorists leading our nation count on fear based obedience and compliance. If you are pained by it, they enjoy it even more.
There is only ONE thing they fear, that is a principled man, simply saying “No, I will not comply”.
If you meet him, you will feel the power of Christ in his manner and kindness. He has the strength to say no, to fight as much as it takes, and to still refuse when all avenues are exhausted. And he will have faith that God will care for him from whatever that refusal brings.
So much for free speech.
But conscientious small business owners must be destroyed until they surrender.”
Twitter etc, can discriminate against behavior and ideology, so that those who support non-PC behavior and or ideology can be banned, but since homosexuality is deemed to be the same as race, not a behavior or ideology, then homosexual activists have special rights by which they can demand affirmation, which is what Phillips was demanded to give. Even though being born again means not affirming what the homosexual activists demand.
Phillips said he would have sold the homosexual couple any cake or product, even one they could decorate themselves but not a work of art which was for the expressed purpose of celebrating a wedding that was both immoral according to God and illegal according to the CO constitutions at the time. Yet the kangaroo court civil rights commission treated him like a Nazi denying Jews any service.

Nothing says it’s a cake he made. It’s just an image from Flicker for visual purposes (and maybe to make him appear to be less than professional at decorating).
