On December 25, The Supreme Court of the United States will hear testimony in Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. V. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. The case is about a Christian man who refused to create a custom cake for a gay couple’s wedding. Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece, refused on the grounds that his art, cake decorating, is his way of honoring God. The couple, Charlie Craig and David Mullins, filed a complaint of discrimination with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA), which then found that Masterpiece did discriminate against the couple. What happened to a business owner’s right to not take a job that conflicts with his beliefs? Are the beliefs of the LBGT community more important than those of other groups? A quick Google search of cake shops in Denver found 8 pages with 22 shops listed on the first page. Even if the last page only has one shop on it, that is over 150 shops that the couple could have chosen from. There are many “anti-discrimination” laws on the books today that are being abused to further a political agenda. The couple in question here claim that they brought this case not about the cake, but “it’s about us being able to be free to be treated equally in the public realm.” The problem with that statement is that Masterpiece was doing just that. Mr. Phillips states,” I don’t create custom designs for events or messages that conflict with my conscience.” That means no Halloween cakes, no bachelor or bachelorette cakes, and no anti-American cakes. He says he even refused an anti-LGBT message. I agree that we need protections against discrimination, but maybe we need to go back and look at what we call discrimination and make sure that definition is sound.
