Christian Cake Baker Jack Phillips Under Attack Again by LGBT Activist Jack Phillips, the Masterpiece Cake Shop owner, is being attacked by LGBT activists in the courts for the 3rd time because of his Christian faith. Jack’s business was first sued when two gay men wanted Jack to bake a cake to affirm a “same-sex wedding” in violation of Jack Phillips’ faith. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Jack Phillips in the Masterpiece case, and rebuked the state of Colorado for its “hostility” to his faith. After Jack won at the Supreme Court, a different activist brought suit claiming that Jack’s refusal to make a cake celebrating a "gender transition" was discriminatory. Colorado later abandoned that claim, but now the LGBT activist is asking for monetary damages of over $100,000. Our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom are once again defending Jack Phillips in the case. Repeated attacks on small business owners for their sincerely held religious beliefs are happening across the nation. Thankfully, Texas Values helped defeat all attempts to pass ‘Ban The Bible’ styled “sexual orientation and gender identity” legislation in the recently completed session. The continued attacks on Jack Phillips and other Christians across the nation is a reminder of why Texas Values advocates for religious freedom in the state of Texas and beyond. | |
