The cake owner took the prior case to the SCOUTS and won but SCOTUS was too scared to take on the big issue.

So he's been fined again.

He sells to everyone but he won't design and create cakes for gay marriage or child transitions.

This is a very real test, brothers, about whether shitlibbery will ever be forced to back down.

looks like the prior case worked its way through the state system and this decision, too, is a state court ruling. supreme court of colorado declined to take the case so the intermediate appeal was the one that SCOTUS took up.

"In a 7–2 decision, the Court ruled on narrow grounds that the Commission did not employ religious neutrality, violating Masterpiece owner Jack Phillips' rights to free exercise, and reversed the Commission's decision. The Court did not rule on the broader intersection of anti-discrimination laws, free exercise of religion, and freedom of speech, due to the complications of the Commission's lack of religious neutrality."

Both sides are assholes. The libs asked for a custom cake with blue and pink icing and sprinkles to make this guy feel as uncomfortable as possible without creating “speech” so they could sue. OTOH the cake guy would have turned them away even if they asked for a generic cake. That was the salient fact in the SCOTUS case- the gay guys just wanted a plain white cake and the guy turned them away so SCOTUS had to find some other way to rule for the cake guy. If this case goes up the libs should be pwned for asking for the special icing and sprinkles that were absolutely meant to send a message.

Jack Phillips is an expert baker who has owned and operated the shop for 24 years. Phillips is a devout Christian. He has explained that his “main goal in life is to be obedient to” Jesus Christ and Christ’s “teachings in all aspects of his life.” App. 148. And he seeks to “honor God through his work at Masterpiece Cakeshop.” Ibid. One of Phillips’ religious beliefs is that “God’s intention for marriage from the beginning of history is that it is and should be the union of one man and one woman.” Id., at 149. To Phillips, creating a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding would be equivalent to participating in a celebration that is contrary to his own most deeply held beliefs.

Phillips met Charlie Craig and Dave Mullins when they entered his shop in the summer of 2012. Craig and Mullins were planning to marry. At that time, Colorado did not recognize same-sex marriages, so the couple planned to wed legally in Massachusetts and afterwards to host a reception for their family and friends in Denver. To prepare for their celebration, Craig and Mullins visited the shop and told Phillips that they were interested in ordering a cake for “our wedding.” Id., at 152 (emphasis de- leted). They did not mention the design of the cake they envisioned.

Phillips informed the couple that he does not “create” wedding cakes for same-sex weddings. Ibid. He explained, “I’ll make your birthday cakes, shower cakes, sell you cookies and brownies, I just don’t make cakes for same sex weddings.” Ibid. The couple left the shop without further discussion.

The CO district court. He sells pre-made cakes to anyone (and will do a wide variety of customs for anyone) but wont do a custom cake that celebrates certain things. It's pretty clear he is not declining service because of sex or gender or sexual orientation of the customer, but because he doesn't want to celebrate certain actions/beliefs.

No, they are just not retarded autists and understand that a "wedding cake" means a cake that references the spouses, typically in a way that reflects sex like figurines. "Wedding cake" does not mean a plain blank cake that may be served during a wedding in normal parlance, and sneaky pre-planned tactics to gin up a lawsuit by threading the needle on whether the baker's right against compelled speech and being forced to violate his religion are implicated are not socially desirable behavior or consistent with the nation's founding principles. Hth.

The state of Colorado essentially has an agency tasked with legally harassing this guy full time because they dislike his religion and are MAF that SCOTUS pwned them. It's bs.

Why wouldn't that be speech? Showing your nipples is apparently speech according to SCOTUS, I don't see why colors that widely understood to communicate concepts of gender, just as much as the words boy / girl, wouldn't be.

I object to almost all of this stuff being qualified ss speech in the first place but at no reasonable person sees this cake and knows its a tranny reveal. Maybe twins. Or just someone's favorite colors. It's totally ambiguous but marching in there demanding a tranny cake isn't

i've wondered what would happen if the bakers told SSM customers, "we will pray over this cake that it will turn you straight and put you on the path to God."
