Jack Phillips

Jack Phillips is a Colorado-based baker known for his involvement in a landmark legal case regarding religious freedom and discrimination. In 2012, he refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, citing his Christian beliefs. This led to a significant court battle, culminating in a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2018 that ruled in Phillips' favor on narrow grounds, emphasizing free speech over discrimination.
