Masterpiece Cakeshop

Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop is a religious man who brings his religion into the workplace. In 2013 he was asked by a gay couple to make them a wedding cake and due to his conflicting religious views on homosexuality told them he would not be able to make the cake for them. Upset they sued due to believing it was homophobic discrimination.

Ever since then he has been fighting a long and difficult battle in court against them and the state of Colorado, even eventually making its way up to the supreme court where eventually, they had ruled in favor of him with the reason being that he has the freedom of religion and due to his religious values he is allowed to deny service to anyone.

Up until recently, things have been going better for him until an attorney wanted a cake with blue on the inside and pink on the outside to show a gender transition, he refused again due to his religious beliefs and values, this brought up the Civil Rights Commission again who started slandering him and just making his life horrible

This stuff has been happening a lot recently due to a mass sum of people getting offended over almost every little thing, not to say that they have no right to do so and of course they may have their own personal reasons but it has caused people to make very unnecessary changes to the way we do things, which isn’t really cool. It is very unfortunate for people like Jack Phillips, who has been dealing with this very thing, where the CCRC was hazing him for having religious values. It just doesn’t seem very fair.

That isn’t to say that all changes are bad though, there were a lot of messed up things our society had put in place before that definitely needed a change, stuff like racism and sexism were big things that we have been working on changing. The only issue is all the people who are discriminating against white people and men. There have been plenty of people who have slandered them for things like slavery, which has been illegal since before all of us are alive so it’s not like anyone could be held responsible for it.

Anyways, I’m getting a bit off topic, basically Jack Phillips has been in court for years because he didn’t want to make a gay couple a cake due to his religious values and yeah you might think “couldn’t you count a wedding cake to be just as important?” You could, but there are more than one bakeries, you can definitely find a bakery that will make your cake. But people don’t typically change or find new religious morals and values, the whole point of religion is that it’s something you believe in, and you wouldn’t go around changing what you believe in often.
