The Supreme Court ruled in support of a baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, citing his Christian faith. Ilya Shapiro of the Cato Institute has more on the High Court's latest ruling.

Dr Soap thank you!!! that’s what I’m saying. When someone has a strict religion you can’t just force them to go against it. They have no other option then to go against their religion or stand by their religion. But for gays or just simply getting a cake just go to another store. You have so many options to choose from and no one has any problems the people getting married gets their cake and the guy doesn’t have to go against his religion. It’s a win win

He did not refuse to serve this gay couple. He did not turn them away or make them leave the store. He was more than willing to make them a cake, just not a cake decorated so as to celebrate homosexuality, because his religious principle will not allow him to do such a thing. When the U.S. Supreme court tries to force an individual to celebrate something which he or she considers an inherant sin and even force him or her put it in writing, disavoying their god and all that they believe in, in the name of something sinister, then we are all in trouble. This country is in big big trouble.

It's called being money hungry. They probably don't even care about the cake. They just saw it as an opportunity to make some extra cash to help pay for their wedding. I mean honestly they could've just gone somewhere else to get a cake. But no they just wanted to cry wolf so they could try and be a "hero (to no one basically)" on T.V. and try to make some extra cash. But they just wasted everyone's time because the baker is absolutely right, and now, instead, they just look like two inconsiderate, gay, idiots.

Bigots can rejoice all they want but they cannot deny that it was a narrow SC ruling in scope, meaning it is limited to this case and does not affect other pending religious freedom cases in court. Neither does this ruling invalidate Colorado's civil rights law and other state laws protecting gay people from discrimination. In other words, in the 21 states where public accommodation discrimination based on sexual orientation is illegal, refusing to serve gay people for whatever reasons is still outlawed. The status quo remains.

The gay couple should've gone elsewhere as I pretty sure many bakeries would've created a wedding cake for them. Instead they took the guy, his family and business to court. It should've been thrown out immediately. The gay couple, Jack's family and business all received unwanted attention, media coverage and threats from both sides. Its simple. If a business denies you for whatever reason, go somewhere else.

Take out the variable of religious protection and the even deeper, wider problem is that the consumer, backed by coercive gov, is now forcing businesses to make certain products or provide certain services. Gov regulation of business is presumably about enforcing safe practices, products and services for the public at large regarding those products and services the business owner CHOOSES to make, provide and sell. The regulatory arm of gov quickly becomes heavy-handed and broadly punitive. So that has been a problem in our not-free market for decades. But this baker offered the customers to buy what he currently sells. They refused and dictated to him what he should make and the fake enforcement group called a “commission” issued its dictates and destroyed this man’s business. There are so many deviations from American culture, our Const, Nat Law, free enterprise principles in these coercive transformations of business practice. Protecting religious expression is only one. If we permit continued gov coercion and overreach such as these gay wedding cake cases begin to reveal, soon gay wedding cake bakers and many others will also be forced to make what they choose not to provide in their business. We are confusing the public sphere with the private and will destroy all that is private in the process. Guess who wins then?

Honestly I find it stupid and annoying that this couple tried to sue. The baker was absolutely right, I'm glad he won. However, would they even be able to call it a win if the court had ruled in their favor? I mean, you can't force someone to approve of what you're doing, or to like you, or to accept anything.. So IF they had won, and it forced all bakers and private companies to create cakes or produce products for you against their own free will, morals, and beliefs, are you even sure you would even WANT the service? I mean.. what if some devious people (not this guy in particular - of course) decided to spit in your cake, compromise, or sabotage your product in some kind of way? You'd never know! I would be terrified honestly.. And although it's illegal to do so, some people are pretty crafty I mean it could be made out to look like a mistake. And this type of thing could happen ALL THE TIME! That's a lose lose situation to me. So you ought to be glad they lost this case just saying..

Similar cases with other wedding vendors and other same-sex couples must still go through the court system.

And just three days later today, the Arizona Court of Appeals interprets the U.S. Supreme Court’s _Masterpiece Cakeshop_ decision to protect gay couples’ right to equal access in _Brush & Nib Studio v. Phoenix_ . Phoenix passed a measure prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in public accommodations. Alliance Defending Freedom, the same law firm that represented Masterpiece Cakeshop, filed suit against the law on behalf of Brush & Nib Studio, a for-profit business that sells cards and decorations for weddings. The studio argued that the Phoenix law violates its First Amendment right to freedom of speech by prohibiting it from turning away same-sex couples who wish to celebrate their weddings. Citing _Masterpiece Cakeshop_ , the Arizona Court of Appeals unanimously rejected Brush & Nib's claim saying they may oppose same-sex marriage but the court could not create an exception for anti-gay businesses without inflicting grave and continuing harm on gay people. So the _Masterpiece Cakeshop_ decision was used to uphold Phoenix's anti-discrimination law.
