MASTERPIECE: Famous Cake-Maker Wins Yet ANOTHER Court Case Defending Religious Freedom

He was an ordinary man in an ordinary bakery until someone asked him to bake a custom cake celebrating an event he could not support. The key word here is ‘custom’. He went on to become a landmark court case.

His critics couldn’t take no for an answer, on the gay marriage cake so they set another trap for him and tried again.

They asked for a cake with Satan licking a 9″ plastic phallus. Naturally, he refused. He’s had many such intentionally-offensive requests.

Then came a cake celebrating a transgender reveal. They could have gone anywhere. They went to the guy who was famous for abiding by his religious scruples. We know how that played out, right?

Request. Denial. Butthurt. Lawsuit.

It takes some time for reason to catch up with the activists who seem to have endless supplies of money to burn on such cases. But a verdict has been given.

The way he won this case was revealing. The mainstream press makes it look like it was dismissed on a technicality. Look more closely and you will see something else.

Phillips, whose prior refusal to make a wedding cake for a gay couple was at the center of a case that went to the U.S. Supreme Court, had on appeal urged the Colorado Supreme Court to conclude that requiring him to make the cake would infringe his free speech rights under the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment.

But the state high court on a 4-3 vote avoided that issue entirely by instead concluding that under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, Scardina, a lawyer, was not permitted to sue the baker in 2019 following an earlier administrative process.

Scardina had initially filed a discrimination complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Division after Phillips refused to make the cake she wanted to order to celebrate her birthday and her identity as a transgender woman. She said he refused her order because of her identity.

The commission reached a confidential settlement with Phillips, without Scardina’s participation. Justice Melissa Hart, writing for the majority, said Scardina should have challenged that decision in an appeals court, rather than file a new lawsuit.

They might be interested in the ‘technicality’ angle. We’re more fascinated by the ‘targeted harassment’ aspect of this case.

Will the left finally have learned their lesson and stop targeting this guy?

That probably depends entirely on how deep the pockets of their backers are and how committed to the ruination of one man’s refusal to bend the knee.

For the rest of us, he stands as an example that sometimes the good guys DO win… so stand strong on your principles.
