Baker Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, manages his shop Monday, June 4, 2018, in Lakewood, Colo. The U.S. Supreme Court said in a 7-2 ruling that Phillips had been the victim of anti-religious bias from the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which heard the 2012 complaint filed by Charlie Craig and Dave Mullins, the same-sex couple at the heart of the case.

Who remembers the baker who got into trouble because he wanted to stand up for his faith?

Yes, I do.

Well he's FREE.

Yes He is.

I am so giddy with joy that he is free. Yes He is in America and I am in Nigeria. Another Christian's win is my win.

In the Masterpiece Cakeshop lawsuit that reignited religious liberty and gay rights debates throughout the nation, a Monday, June 4, decision from U.S. Supreme Court justices leaves the issue far from settled.

Justices ruled in a 7-2 decision that Denver cakeshop owner Jack Phillips had been the victim of anti-religious bias from the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which heard the 2012 complaint filed by Charlie Craig and Dave Mullins, the same-sex couple at the heart of the case.

Craig and Mullins complained to the commission after Phillips refused to bake a cake for their wedding. The commission sided with the couple and Phillips began his appeal, setting off the nation’s top legal battle between religious liberty and gay rights of the past decade.

Monday’s decision wasn’t the black-and-white result that some in the debate hoped for — and it’s much less sweeping than the court’s Obergefell v. Hodges decision of 2015, which legalized gay marriage nationwide.

You know the funniest thing. Everyone wants to fight for the gays. No one wants to fight for the Christians. A Christian should have their rights. The right to bake a cake or not bake a cake.

I am so glad that he won. They nearly lost their business and the whole world was rooting for them to lose it. 

That's a good one for the day.

Second report via a Christian with less biased reporting in my opinion:

Christians responded to the win, including Franklin Graham.He wrote on Twitter:

Phillipps has the weight of US evangelical support and backing from the White House behind him and will argue the constitution's free speech guarantees protect him from making a cake that would violate his religious beliefs against gay marriage. To the gay couple David Mullins and Charlie Craig, the baker's refusal represented a simple case of unlawful discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The brief encounter at Phillips' Masterpiece Cakeshop in the Denver suburb of Lakewood left Mullins and Craig distraught, according to Reuters. They filed a successful complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, the first step in the five-year-old legal battle that the nine justices will resolve in a ruling due by the end of June.
But the baker's lawyers argue that because his cakes are artistic, guarantees of freedom of speech and expression enshrined in the US Constitution's First Amendment protect Phillips from being forced to make baked creations that express a message he opposes on religious grounds.
