masterpiece cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission

Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission is a significant legal case about the conflict between religious freedom and anti-discrimination laws. In 2012, a baker, Jack Phillips, refused to create a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, citing his religious beliefs. The couple filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which ruled against Phillips. He appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in 2018 that the Commission displayed anti-religious bias in its decision. The case highlighted the ongoing debate over the rights of individuals versus protections for marginalized groups in the context of personal beliefs and business practices.
