US Supreme Court will hear case of baker fined for not making gay wedding cake

In another test of freedom of speech and religious liberty, the US Supreme Court has decided that it will consider the case of a baker who was fined for refusing to make a cake for a same-sex wedding celebration. Commentator Ryan Anderson described the case as one of “coercing . . . cultural dissidents” and said it has nothing to do with sexual orientation per se and everything to do with belief in what the nature of marriage is. “In case after case, bakers have had no problem designing cakes for gay customers for every other occasion. It’s just that an exceedingly small number can’t in good conscience use their talents to help celebrate same-sex weddings by baking a cake topped with two grooms or two brides—or, as in this case, with rainbow filling.” The Supreme Court will hear the case in its next term.
