If this baker can prevail here, and also owns a restaurant, please tell me why he would have to serve the LBGT crowd, or that couple, using precisely the same argument. If he wouldn't have to (by law), is it good law?
Gay wedding cake case comes before Supreme Court with ramifications for discrimination
The Supreme Court is set to take up oral arguments on Tuesday in a controversial case that could set a precedent for whether businesses are allowed to turn away customers based on religious beliefs.
The case is tied to a baker in Colorado, who says he has the right under the First Amendment to refuse to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple. The incident in question took place in 2012, when a gay couple visited Masterpiece Cakes in Lakewood, Colorado and asked for a custom cake -- a request the owner declined.
Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakes, in court documents says he "gladly serves people from all walks of life, including individuals of all races, faiths, and sexual orientations. But he cannot design custom cakes that express ideas or celebrate events at odds with his religious beliefs."
