I’m gay myself and I support Jack, he can do whatever the heck he wants to do with his business
Senen garcia bravo exactly. Other than one measly wedding cake, the dude will bake anything for everyone.
What uncle tome for a gay man, aunt rupaul?
Michael DiCristofano excuse me?
Senen garcia bravo You sound like a self-hating gay person.
Michael DiCristofano lol IKR? He has self-hating issues.
the man even offered free cookies to the protesters. such a beautiful man
Manuel Haro he seems like he just might be the nicest guy in the world
did you notice the protesters look like they realized they were wrongly protesting?
Raul Gonzalez yeah 😂 but they didn’t take a cookie they are bitter bitches
He probably poisoned the cookies or put something nasty in it.
rudy melgar Bigotry won. Stop using religion to defend bigotry.
He isn't hateful. He even gave free cookies to the people protesting against him. He should able to follow his religion. God bless him. He shouldn't be intimidated into bake a cake 🙄
He shouldn't be intimidated or sued to betray his faith in God.
Wedding cookies... How generous of him!
You can be a great person and have bigoted beliefs- and even though he is a nice guy for sure, his beliefs ARE in fact bigoted.
What people don’t realize is, you don’t have to be religious to disagree with gay marriage.
A non-religious person could say, “I disagree with gay marriage because I believe it goes against nature.”
If a non-religious person turned down a gay couple for personal reasons- would they get the same respect?
My guess is no, they wouldn’t. Because it’s all too easy to hide behind the backdrop of religion.
@@patrickwoods2213 so he should just go against his religious beliefs just to make you happy. Smh
@@therealog.1255 “so he should go against his religious beliefs to make you happy”
Did I say that? No, I didn’t.
You simply had a knee-jerk moment, because you read something into my comment that wasn’t there.
Very typical of religious people.
What I DID say was that his beliefs about gay marriage are bigoted. He has a right to hold whatever beliefs he wishes-just don’t expect most people to respect those beliefs.
I'm thanking Jesus for your victory, and praying that He continues to take care of you.
He stood firm and did not waver. He is an example for us all . God is good.
all the time ❤️

Why couldn't that couple find another bakery to do their cake? Jack Phillips should not be forced to do something his faith--or him--doesn't beleive in!
I don't know why either, but one guess is that they were being childish and immature and were too busy being upset to really think "we will go somewhere else". I'm sure that's what many thought they should of done, my husband and I thought that ourselves instead of them complaining about something that is soo miniscule of a problem with such an EASY fix.
Claryssa Anderson They wanted to cause harm and make a federal case of it......literally.
Because they’re fools
And African-Americans should have just kept using the "negroes only" drinking fountains, right? Separate but equal is no argument.
They just wanted to start trouble
I’m a Muslim and I support my fellow Christian Jack

Thanks
@@barfyman-wn3id you don't even understand that verse and you are talking, why don't you ask a knowledgeable Muslim what it means. Smh
I’m gay and I’m completely on the baker’s side here, I would never force anyone to make my wedding cake, I’ve always respected religious people
Respect to u too . I wish more people think like u too 😘😍
@dale wtf are u talking about
@dale Don’t you think that you’re stereotyping the catholic religion a little too much? You make it sound like every priest is a child molestor which just isn’t true.
@dale Your hatred is ugly.
The acts of members are not the acts of the church. The church is Christ's bride not a priest's kingdom.
I agree those 2 guys were complete sore looser They could go to other bakery shops.
As a Libertarian I really don't care what two consenting adults decide to do, BUT using the power of Government to force someone to be a part of their decision is wrong.
Bob Diaz interesting comment... So you disagree with the two getting the government involved in this little situation of the businessman making a decision... And then you probably disagree with them stepping in saying the baker was okay and not guilty.. The right to refuse which could have just been done and over with if those two didn't push the issue, get upset or mad or too sensitive. Kind of funny
miragexl007 It's really very simple, Government is wrong to force a business to do something they don't want to do. When the court corrected that bad decision, it was a step in the right direction. There's no contradiction there. Libertarians believe in free choice for adults, it's the Democrats and Republicans that want to use the power of Government to force people to do things. As long a one person does NOT hurt another, they should be free to decide what they chose to do. I also support the right of people to make what I think are bad decisions, BUT if they are hurt, they are responsible for their own choices.
jfsfrnd I'm not suggesting that at all, only that a business should have the right to choose what jobs they will and will not do.
Just as selling a toilet seat is not the same as "being part" of someone else's bowel movements, selling a cake is not the same as "being part" of someone else's wedding.
jfsfrnd I can tell that you didn't watch the video, if you had you'd know the issue was NOT about providing a cake, but about how the cake was decorated. You also can't point to ANYTHING in the constitution that says anything about this case. The constitution is silent on the issue. Court cases decide the issue based on current laws. Future court cases will decide what is and what is not the right to Free Speech.
Looks like trying to bully him didn't work.😝😝😝
Preventing discrimination is not bullying.
Björnar Dohm taking away his rights is though
@@jeremy0440
He doesn't have a right to discriminate.
Ever hear of reverse discrimination? It goes both ways you know? And yes those two bastards that targeted him are bullies.
@@AmEricAnL27
Again: Fighting BACK against discrimination is not the same as "reverse discrimination" or "bullying". You're not making any sense.
With God on his side, was anyone surprised he won. Glory to God.
No surprise here :)
You can just see how much of a sweetheart Jack truly is. God bless you and your family!
Amen!! Brother the Lord Jesus Christ had your back the whole time cause u kept the faith...👍🙏😇
Cheering you on from New Zealand! God bless you, family, and business supernaturally!
im a gay dude and even im happy this shop owner won!
Yes because Freedom works. Glad for Liberty
There is no "freedom" to discriminate.
Says the one that unfortunately doesn't undestand that anti-discrimination laws are meant to protect freedom.
Adam Duarte that gay couple was just 2 bad apples who don’t deserve an opinion, as a Catholic, thank you for defending this man
@Jack Smith
Honey, homosexuality is not a "belief" or something to believe in; it's a fact of life. And withholding the very service from gay customers that he'd offer to straight customers IS discrimination. And if you aren't able to do your job without discriminating, then maybe you are doing the wrong job.
No, secular charity, is that so? Just the Brights Movement, the European Humanist Federation, the International Humanist and Ethical Union, the International League of Humanists, the

Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 ☘
Keep up the good fight Jack Phillips.
Love how he went to the protesters first when Gi hung out free cookies and telling them to come anytime and tried to connect with them. Sadly the ones protecting couldn’t even look him in the eyes, the devil is a coward. God is good
Im so glad for Jack 😊
As a gay man if he or someone else doesn't want to make a cake for my wedding its fine. I'll just go to another baker who will. Freedom of speech is important I have mine u have urs and he has his. Don't sue just dont buy from that bakery if they "trigger" or offended u end of story.
year1914 lmao cause unlike alot of other gay people im not bothered by the bullshit
Justin Jr he can make a cake for anyone: gay, lesbian or atheist or Christian. Some people tried to force him to place a message on the cake. This message was against his values and believes and he rejected to do so. Media lied to public as usually. Why he would offer the cookies to someone who called him bigot? He is welcoming every person in his shop and will bake cookies and cake for everyone. But he will not place any message on the product that against his belief.
Would you consider yourself to be a good person?
How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, no matter how small, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God's name in vain/blasphemed, even ‘OMG’? That’s taking the name of the God who gave you life and using it in the place of a cuss word - would you do that with your mother’s name? Have you ever dishonoured your parents? Jesus said whoever looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery in his heart. Have you ever looked with lust? Most people probably have broken all 5 of these commandments. I myself have. I’m not judging you but if you have done these things then you’re a lying, thieving, blasphemous, rebellious adulterer-at-heart by your own admission. That's only 5 of the 10 commandments. God is fully just so he must and will punish every and all sin (which is departure from/rebellion towards God and the conscience) when he judges us. He cannot simply cancel our debt and let us go, or else he would be unjust. If you went into the courtroom and said: ‘Yes Judge, I’ve done these things but I also give money to the Red Cross and volunteer at an old-age home. I try my best to love people’ the judge is not going to take that into consideration. You’ve broken the law; the good you’ve done won’t help at all on the day of judgement.
If he judges you by the moral law will you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is Hell. Doesn’t that concern you? But, fortunately, that is not God’s will. He is so loving and merciful, he made a way for you to be forgiven. The Son of God came down as a man, Jesus Christ, and lived a perfect, sinless life, so was the perfect sacrifice. He excruciatingly suffered and died on the cross to pay the FULL debt we owe because of sin; justice is fully done. You and I broke God's law and Jesus paid the fine in his life's blood, being resurrected again 3 days later. That’s why he said “It is finished” on the cross - in other words the debt has been paid. God has the payment ready to go for you. What you need to do is repent (recognising you are a sinner deserving God's punishment, turn to Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins. Our works can do nothing as by the standard of God’s moral law we fail, but faith in him is enough to save us from all sin - past, present and future! Then though you have grievously offended God, he will forgive you and you will inherit eternal life being reborn in the Holy Spirit when you put your trust in the Lord and saviour. Too, you enter a covenant relationship with God - sonship, and truly I tell you your life will change in his presence. So repent and trust (i.e. Biblical faith), receive the free gift of grace.
He redeemed me. God, The King of The Universe, came down as a man. He lived the first 30 years of his life as a poor carpenter then spent the next 3 preaching, healing and saving souls - all the while being persecuted, insulted and hated by his own people - and took the punishment to save our lives. It’s the most amazing love that anyone ever displayed. Christianity’s not just a religion. It's a pure, sweet relationship with God. Because of Jesus, I am now a son of God. He is my dad, and you can be his child too. God loves you. Will you let him come?. . .. . .. . .
@BJBrechbiel OK you clearly didn't read my full comment did you?
I'm so happy to hear this. May The Lord keep watching
over you, Jack; from one Christian brother to another.
I’m gay and I support the cake shop.
Rob Mullin Good on you Rob. We all value our freedoms and sometimes that will rub up against one another. At some point people need to recognise that freedoms do have some limits and to back off from trying to force other into conformity.
Cheers mate.
Rob Jesus loves you 💖
1969cmp “people need to recognize that their freedoms have some limits” thanks bud! You’re right. It’s not ok to let homophobia take away basic human rights. Right on brother!!
Aesthetic Try-hard And not making a cake that celebrates gay marriage does not violate anyone's right because the gay couple had other cake store options.
The ACLU was imposing upon the artist.
The artist was not stopping anyone getting marriage.
1969cmp I’m not saying they didn’t have other options or that they weren’t allowed to marry, I’m saying that the action was extremely disrespectful. It’s like denying to let an African American to eat at a restaurant. He can still eat at other places, but the avmct of not letting him eat is racist and disrespectful.
Hallelujah~~~~~
Glory and praise to our God 🙏
Rachel W which one?
yaweh, ra, or allah, most other gods are okay with homosexuality
@BJBrechbiel wow, I commented that two years ago wtf. interesting to see how I've changed a bit as a person. Idk whats the true god or if there even is one. I've had a man tell me that a hundred handed goddess healed his skin cancer and blessed his friend with a career as a teacher after an unfulfilling life in finance after she converted to his religion. I've also met a Native American person who celebrated the gods and traditions of her people. I've been to a banquet for a Buddhist charity that served the most amazing vegan dishes. Their founder provided a fantastic piece of wisdom. One should give not once a month, but just a little bit once a day. Cultivating a spirit of generosity and giving lies in the practice of daily charity, not as a passing thought once a month. My mother has met a person who could see ghosts. Her daughter could too. I have friends who are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, and Hindi. All of which engage in pretty cool practices and traditions. You are definitely free to believe whatever you want, but please remember to keep an open mind and explore the beautiful cultures this world has to offer.
He literally offered the protesters a cookie and said thank you for coming. Wow. That is what TRUE love looks like. Selfless.
I support him 100%! Stand firm in the Lord in all trials an tribulations!
Freedom of speech and tolerance
"Tolerance" see the irony?
Before Tommorow no
So Freedom of speech means I could open up my own bakery and deny a straight Christian couple a wedding cake because it goes against my personal beliefs! :)
Wait till he says no Muslims when you your ass turns up. Hope that free speech and tolerance works out for ya
Hey Tolerance and Respect work both ways and it's usually earned!
Ppl who oppose the supreme court decision dont understand that he did not discriminate against the gay couple..he simply couldn't do a wedding cake for them because of his religion..I am all about supporting LGBTQ community but this decision was right and I hope his business does well
GEM Making a damn cake compared to saving a life in dire need of medical aid are two completely different situations. If the baker does not want to bake your cake, go to another one. In the medical field, it is the duty of the the medics to save a life.
Really Maria hi, where in the Supreme Court decision does it state that? IT DOESN'T STATE THAT AT ALL.
The only thing the Supreme Court decision stated was that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission's public hostility towards religion showed bias against Jack Phillips - so SCOTUS invalidated the decision. SCOTUS didn't remotely rule whether Jack Phillips (or any other commercial bakery) can refuse to do wedding cakes for same sex couples in violation of anti-discrimination law.
This is straight from the decision:
" The official expressions of hostility to religion in some of the commissioners’ comments-comments that were not disavowed at the Commission or by the State at any point in the proceedings that led to affirmance of the order-were inconsistent with what the Free Exercise Clause requires. The Commission’s disparate consideration of Phillips’ case compared to the cases of the other bakers suggests the same. For these reasons, the order must be set aside.
The Commission’s hostility was inconsistent with the First Amendment’s guarantee that our laws be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion. Phillips was entitled to a neutral decision maker who would give full and fair consideration to his religious objection as he sought to assert it in all of the circumstances in which this case was presented, considered, and decided. In this case the adjudication concerned a context that may well be different going forward in the respects noted above. *However later cases raising these or similar concerns are resolved in the future*, for these reasons the rulings of the Commission and of the state court that enforced the Commission’s order must be invalidated. The outcome of cases like this in other circumstances must await further elaboration in the courts, all in the context of recognizing that these disputes must be resolved with tolerance, without undue disrespect to sincere religious beliefs, and without subjecting gay persons to indignities when they seek goods and services in an open market."
adam casas Exactly, people in the medical field know this and dedicate their lives to save another person’s. Comparing a critical situation that involves a person’s life to a freakin cake is just nonsensical comparison.
GEM I believe Jack has mentioned that he also doesn't make cakes in celebration of a divorce(a cake specifically for the divorce). It's his right to decide whether he should refuse to bake a specific type of cake, mind you he didn't refuse services to discriminate as he started that he's not willing to bake a cake for their wedding because it violates his conscious/ religious beliefs.
GEM Please stop. Were you born this stupid or did you have to work at it?
I fucking love this. This is America folks this is what America is about. Just so much love and support for these people. God bless them man

Blostin Yup. I love that part in the Bible where Jesus said you shouldn't make cakes for gay people. It's not like the biggest message in the Gospels was to love and care for all people.
Actually the biggest message in Gospels as you call it was to believe in the Son of God who came to save us from our sins. "Whosoever believes and is baptized shall be saved and whosoever doesn't shall be condemned."
The same Jesus, who said: "Judge not lest ye be judged" also said what you read two lines above, you can find it in Mark 16:16.
In John 3:18 it says: "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
This is written in red, you know? These are the words of Jesus.
Why all this, for you probably unnecessary and boring, scripture?
Well, if what you are saying is actually true that merely human love and caring was the biggest message of the gospel, Jesus died in vain. There would no need for Christ to ever come to earth and die for us, because humans should know to love and care for all people. Even if they don't do it, but we've had philosophers and basic education in a civilized world to teach us that for thousands of years.
Having said that Jesus did say "love thy neighbor as thyself" it is the second great commandment and comparable to the first, no questions asked.
Now, I challenge you to prove to me that Jesus in any of the gospels or the whole Bible emphasized human love and solidarity as the most important thing. The Bible says a lot on how to behave towards one another and to love and support your fellow man (even your enemies), but that is not the meat of the gospel. Otherwise you may as well read any "How to..." book or any publication of a philosopher, great thinker etc.
May I suggest you read the bible for yourself, before using it to support your opinion?
Jacques Dablah While I was raised Catholic and have studied the Bible in Catholic school, I should admit that I am no expert on the text. To truly understand the Bible one must also know about its historical context and its human authors, topics that are widely debated by scholars. What I do know is how the Bible makes me feel, and as with any other book, it allows for human interpretation. One must find a way to interpret the Bible, because as you have just outlined with those quotes, there is much hypocrisy in it. To deny God is to be damned to suffering, yet God is merciful, tolerant, and accepting of his children? I see the Gospel, Jesus' ministry and death, as a transition from the traditional ideas of a angry god to the more modern ideas of a loving God, a God who wants the best for his creation on earth, a God who does not set arbitrary laws, but laws that humans can understand, laws that are practical in effect and have visible consequences. It's not for us to speak on God's behalf. That has been a trend of humanity for thousands of years, a trend that must end. If God is the sole Judge of right and wrong, than why do we discriminate against people for a very inherent part of their existence? We should not take that seat in His chair. It is time for us to stop placing politics in our religion, and religion in our politics.
Joe, do you want to continue this conversation?
Cause I have two answers for you.
One is short, and will put you in your place (you will probably think I'm arrogant after reading that one) or another lengthy one with Scriptures to prove what I say. Let's just say they are both one and the same, only difference is one is more elaborate.
You decide.
Jacques Dablah Can I have both or is that too much to ask? It seems like you already have them planned out or maybe you already wrote them down, so do whatever you feel is right.
This is great
I love that baker man and everyone else for their support

Mi Les there is no skydaddy,stupid fuck. And you're no christian you bigoted scumbag.
Rudi Hendricks You're the only bigot here. Everyone else is joyful and thanking God for giving us freedom.
How funny that these religious nutjobs would credit their imaginary god for their recent SCOTUS win but it is actually the same "God" who let SCOTUS favor same sex marriage. LMAO. 😂
You probably loved that baker cause he refused to serve a gay couple. Typical Christians and their discriminative ways.
Джордж Болейн oh so we cant stay loyal to our bible and we have to be gay peoples little bitch
I respect a gay persons right to refuse making straight wedding cakes. Let’s respect everyone’s right to choose.
Seek Truth no one that is gay would deny a straight wedding cake.... did i graduate kindergarten
There is no such thing as a "straight wedding cake." Or, for that matter, a "gay wedding cake."
It's a matter of rights in the end of it all. A business owner should have the right to deny any business they chose beverage ultimately it's them who losses money from it and if it's refusal by hate or discrimination then the public will boycott and not support the business but that should be their only punishment. I don't want the government to tell me who I can and cannot serve. Whole point of starting my business is so I don't have to answer to no one... Lol
@@tonemcduffie1812 This was settled in 1964. Everyone has the right to participate in society, same as everyone else. That includes commerce. "I reserve the right..." refers to refusing service based upon a customer's behavior, NOT "We don't serve your kind here."
@@lindseysummers5351 now you speaking on another movement and if you're comparing lgbtq movement to civil rights movement then you're trying to compare something people are physically born into ( being black) to something someone feels they are ( gay, bi, etc) and never seen a lgbtq person lynched for thier feelings...

#Ali RaeOfSunshine I'm a kiwi too and if i ever visit USA buying a cake from that store is on my bucket list.
I’m reading these comments in an Australian accent as is every other american
Nice! So happy that he won!
But, what exactly did he win? During the appeals process, he elected to remove wedding cakes (40% of the business) from the bakery's menu and then fired 6 employees as a result. If the bakery starts making wedding cakes again, another gay couple can come in and ask for a wedding cake and the whole process will start all over again.
The Supreme Court ruling DID NOT state that he has a right to refuse to treat gay customers differently. The only thing the Supreme Court ruled was that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission's show of public hostility towards religion showed unfair bias towards Jack Phillips - so it vacated the the ruling against the bakery.
Ichigo Bankai I feel sorry for you bigots. It must be miserable having so much hatred in your heart.

Hey brandon dumbfuck banks. Anybody who disagrees with people center of the right of michael moore to you is a bigot... You are such a dumbshit. Look a kathy griffin (wanting to decapitate the president), GODDAMN ANTIFA (VIOLENTLY ATTACKING ANYBODY THEY DISAGREE WITH), madonna wanting to blow up the white house, people LITERALLY giving away Steven Crowder's exact location and asking for him to be blown up. Goddamn lefties are the ones filled with hatred in their hearts, they claim to promote tolerance but they are ANYTHING but tolerant.
Have you heard Jack (from this lawsuit) speak?, have you listened to what he has to say, and how he said it? That is a man who is ABSOLUTELY NOT filled with hatred.
Time and time again the people been sued have stated that they DO serve gay customers and have DONE SO IN THE PAST. What they refuse to do is participate in the goddamn wedding, because they believe it's wrong, because it's against what they think is right. Making them do things they believe in their heart is wrong, now THAT'S downright EVIL. And obama did that a lot.
Good for you guys God bless

Let the people own their business not the government.
He didn’t attack the gay couple he only followed his beliefs but there is other bakers who will make the wedding cake
I'm gay and Jack is one of the most gentle beautiful people I've ever seen and I'm so proud he got this wonderful result and wish him and his family every success for their future 💕
Jack's victory is one of the few great justices in this world.
Such an incredible story. What a nice family too!
+Jean Kennedy It's not child abuse to raise a child to hold religious beliefs. To suggest that is to say that the vast majority of people on the planet are engaging in child abuse. Just because you don't agree with his beliefs, it doesn't mean he's abusive. Given his behavior, calm demeanor and his actions, I would say he's raising his children to treat people with kindness and respect. Not wanting to participate in a single event that he considers a sin is not equal to abuse.
Refusing to take on a custom order is not the same as refusing service. Businesses refuse custom orders all the time, for a variety of reasons.
+Jean Kennedy 'If you deliberately fill an innocent child's head with supernatural and hateful bullshit, that's child abuse.'
So you're intolerant toward people having different opinions. Uh oh I guess that makes you a bigot.
'It's not "participating in the event" if all he does is make a cake'
Uh, yes it is. It would've been him enabling a gay wedding to take place.
'And if he thinks it's a "sin", he's wrong. Love between two adult human beings, especially two who want to make a life-long commitment to each other, is HARDLY "a sin".'
Again, that's your opinion, there is no objective truth. Not that I believe it's a sin myself either, but it's Jack's opinion we care about here since it's his story not yours.
'He could have easily said, "Oh sorry, I'm booked solid that month and couldn't get to your order in time." '
And again, your opinion. Who are you to decide what he should've done? He acted the way he acted, whether that was right or wrong and it doesn't matter what you think he should've done.
+Jean Kennedy You clearly don't know what child abuse is. Has he hit the child? Has he kicked the child? Has he picked up that child and shaken him until he was physically harmed? Has he put his hands on the child in a sexual manner? Does he attack the child for speaking his opinions or publicly shamed the child? Given his strong belief in Christian values and his mild-mannered way of talking, I find it doubtful that he has engaged in any action that is considered child abuse. There is no evidence that he has done so. You are making an accusation just because he doesn't believe the same thing you do. All parents teach their children according to their own beliefs.
Making a cake is participation in the event. It's literally spending hours of his time creating something. And when it comes to a cake for a wedding, it's also going to the venue and setting up the cake, so yes, he would have been at the event as well.
You opinion regarding who people choose to engage with sexually is your own opinion. Not everyone shares your belief.
+Firestar123 Many good points. ^_^
+Jean Kennedy Since you know nothing about me, your assumption that I don't know what abuse is kinda makes me laugh. I've been the victim of childhood abuse, as have my siblings. I spent most of my teen years working with victims of abuse. I know what it looks like. That child does not look, in any way, that he has been abused or harmed in any manner. You are making baseless accusations based on your own bias against Christians.
Why are you even assuming that the child is gay? Only about 3% of the population are gay. And "harming his self-esteem"? Really? You don't even know what this guy's church teaches, but you make assumptions based on the fact that he's Christian and doesn't want to create a CUSTOM order for a gay wedding. He didn't even refuse service. He just refused a custom order.
You are basically saying "It's OK to enslave this man, because I disagree with his beliefs and don't like religious people." You cannot COMPEL people to produce something they do not want to produce. He also DID NOT "disrespect" or "insult" those two men. All he said was "no, I'm not going to make a custom cake for your wedding." The courts already determined that he was respectful and polite. He didn't act in a demeaning or rude manner. He said he would sell them any cake already made in the store. That is not an example of prejudice, but you certainly are showing that YOU have prejudice against religious people. Do you act the same toward Muslims? How about Hindus? Jews? Jains? Buddhists? Shintos?
You're arguing for slavery. This man DID NOT give the two gay men any kind of advice. He didn't treat them in a negative manner. He didn't even say "I don't like gay people" or anything like that, though he is within his rights to say whatever the hell he wants. All he said was "no, I won't make a custom cake for this particular event."
You are taking a rules for thee, but not for me stance.Telling others what to do while you do not engage in the same behavior is hypocrisy. You demand courtesy and respect while treating others with disdain and a complete lack of basic courtesy. You've painted all Christians, regardless of their actions, with the broad stroke of "they must be prejudiced".
The Lord is so amazing and you know what when you stand firm in the Lord He shall surely bless you Greatly. Let's not let the world scare us or bring us down. Soon our Lord shall come and He will bless those that live for Him and obey His Word.
If I lived nearby I would only shop there for my pastries. Christianity is the foundation of America, all of its civil liberties and freedoms. Without it America is nothing.
Ok but I have to say he is very handsome; his fine lines set really well - respect and love always makes people look amazing.
His personality is very handsome as well.
Msm: "He BARELY won his case!"
Um...it was a 7-2 ruling...
Don’t agree with his faith but it’s not up to me or anyone to tell him what he can and can’t worship or believe in. Supreme Court made the right decision in this case and hope the lgbtq will begin to understand you can’t use the government to force people to do something they don’t want to do. Especially when it violates their first amendment right.
But you still can't discriminate on the grounds of race and gender for some reason...
jfsfrnd I'm saying, it's the same thing. It's hypocritical to allow one and not the other. Gender, race, sexual orientation are all things that a person can not will. It is just part of a person's being.
jfsfrnd It should be federal, especially since marriage between people of the same sex was ruled a fundamental right a few years ago.
jfsfrnd happy to be a nutcase. Nuts are nutritious... And NATURAL.
Conrad Gifford then he has no business in serving a selected public.
When I heard of this case, I was like he should have served them.
Then when I searched the map, there is so many other cake shop around.
Then I heard of the death threats against Jack Phillips and his family.
My turning point was:
Colorado Civil Rights Commission being openly hostile to him.
That's when I say, "Enough!! I standing by the baker"
Congratulations on the court victory!!
im a lesbian woman and i support jack :)
Praise be to God. I'm coming down for cupcakes 🙏🕊💟
Asil Nike
How were they...did you actually go?
Jean Kennedy 😂 Yeah, a poor busines man who WON IN COURT and who's business is thriving now more than EVER!
Jean Kennedy
Except these people DO still sell to gays, they just don’t do stuff for Gay weddings. If you want a cake for something and the baker isn’t willing to cater to that, then too bad, find someone else. This is the beauty of capitalism.
Jean Kennedy
You leftists love your labels don’t you?
FightingFalcon TX Yes they absolutely do! And even though it's a drive from where I live I go visit friends in the area and get the cream cheese cupcakes. They're killer and we appreciate Jack so much. The fact he and his family got death threats and the left are so ugly and tried to destroy him.... GOD WINS!
I wish I was there.
I pray Gods hedge of protection over jack and his shop. We share in the sufferings of Christ for the greater glory of Gods name
My daughter is LGBTQ, but shes also believes in freedom of religion. She specifically threw her support behind Jack & asked for a birthday cake. He was wonderful & the cake was delicious.
Lovely support by people's
Preach !!
Mattmannish why does it bother you what he’s doing in his own private life?
Ian Jones well he can’t bake his cake and eat it too. He won’t be able to bake any more cakes after that.
Jonny Sevent : Bullshit. He's not bigoted at all.
He refused a Cake for a wedding. He refused respectfully, and honestly. It was a conflict to his Faith. The guys wanting the cake should have just respected that.
I would have just taken their money.
BTW my sister is married to a Lesbian Jew with Dreadlocks. Is very well known to the alphabet community as a promoter and producer of pride festivals internationally. (Since the Eighties)
Has always had my full support. Until now. Many in that community do not seem to get being tolerant is a two way street and people like myself didn't defend them because we agree with them. We're against bigoted intolerant people which many of them have become. (I am especially against them pushing degenerate crap on kids.)
So, fuck them. Go team baby Jesus.
Jonny Sevent : You know nothing of my Religion. In fact I have had my own issues with Christians of the Fundamental variety. That's why it's kind of easy for me to be a little light with my reference to the Prophet Jesus Christ. I am a fan. Not a Christian.
And it's not the issue either way. Your titles your party's any form of devisive distraction you have mean jack shit to me.
It's a Private business. Not a Corporate entity not a big chain grocery store that a locally situated group would be dependent on.
Just a small privately owned business and he should be able to refuse service to anyone he chooses really. More importantly in this case it was his religious belief. It may suck, may not like it but that's reality, to protect the rights of all you have respect the rights of those you don't agree with.
Compromise.
(Funny how much you come off like one of those backwater Bible thumpers. They should burn in Hell!!!! You speak in tongues?)
Praise God!
6/17/18, This is all so stupid, I must tell you. Phillips isn't practicing/participating in anyone's alt lifestyle, he's simply offering up a product for a price. He can practice his religion off-hrs. Somebody comes into his shop, known to him, lets say, Phillips doesn't approve of the person/ppl "shacking up," so he refuses service? The Supremes (7/2) erred on this one, so did Colorado statute.
Girl shut the hell up. You didn't win anything. You and the rest of the children of the corn can stuff this mans cake and choke on it. The gay community is not going anywhere.
jfsfrnd but here is the thing. Making a cake to a person who has an drug and alcohol problem does not mean you are supporting drugs and alcohol. Making a cake for a gay couple that references to them two be married would be in support of gay marriage, so that's why he refused to do so. He's not a hypocrite

Jennifer Loving Yes this was a great day in religious freedom. All of you haters need to learn what was really happening. The baker couldn’t make the two gay guys a Wedding Cake because of his beliefs. He did offer to make them a nice basic cake without the traditional wedding symbols and design like most wedding cakes. The two gay guys refused and therefore were going to destroy him and his business. They failed and lost. Christianity freedom won.
i am muslim and i support this wholeheartedly. well done. keep our traditions safe from these people.
What ? Christians hate you shit stains 😂
wad wdf don't listen to that racist liberal demoncrat.They are the true haters.Im RomanCatholic
wad wdf I'm Roman Catholic who has a brother in law who is of the Muslim faith. Peace on Earth to people of GoodWill.
May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Magic Avocado you show your true colors of hatred toward Christians.
May the Love of God fill your Heart
these people who clearly have an anti religious bias and just looking for ways to harm religion. people don't need to go to a christian baker to get gay cakes. there's counles other bakeries, yet these people choose ones with religious backgrounds. and when they get refused they pretend to be victims.
This man is a hero. He is not a hateful person, as the Left would have us think. I am so glad the Supreme Court saw the folly of the lower court in this ridiculous case.
Dios es bueno!
God is good. All the time!!
Good job sticking this out and having faith in God !!!
Sad part is that he lost in all courts up to the Supreme Court.
Thankfully we got 2 more conservatives on the court.
Regardless of how things play out in the future, and they will get worse, the highest court in the Universe is God's court.
Jesus first came as a savior, and will come again as a judge.
At the name of Jesus every knee will bow.
He now extends his mercy and grace, but one day it will be too late.
"Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that He may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:6-7
Everyone has the right to be free!
Disagreeing does not mean intolerance, or homophobic.
It means we don't agree on that issue.
No one should EVER lose their business, be fined or jailed
because they don't have the same values as the other person.
I don’t believe Jack has a bad bone in his body. I support him and his family all the way.
Being religious and not agreeing with same gender marriage doesn’t mean that one hates the ppl that do agree with it.
Tolerance and respect is very important on both sides.
Aleck Finnian disagreeing and disrespectful are not the same thing.
Aleck Finnian I have never heard of a religion that is against straight marriage.
Aleck Finnian depends what type of business. A gas station needs to serve everyone, as opposed to an artist doesn’t need to paint for all customers. A Jewish painter doesn’t have to draw a portrait of Hitler if he didn’t want to, and there nothing one can do to force him to.
Artists, painters, speech writers, musicians and singers, sculptures, designers, printing firms, can pick and choose their customers as long as things are done in respectful manner.
I don’t find this so difficult to understand.
Aleck Finnian the Supreme Court obviously didn’t think so.
If I had a printing store that sold pre-printed Thank you cards or pre-printed birthday cards to anyone that walks into the store, it doesn’t mean I must print custom invitations for every type of event if it conflicts with my beliefs.
The stuff of the shelves are available to everyone, while custom prints are my choice to design and print.
Aleck Finnian we will need to see how they rule in future cases.
But I don’t believe a printing store that sells pre-printed cards to everyone must also accept all types of custom orders.
One can always go to another printing store that will gladly take that order.
We settled this in the '60s. The 1860s that is. We as a society decided involuntary servitude is immoral and the supreme court thankfully upheld that.
Brandon nice
the precedent for that case is slowly getting chipped away. It is only a matter of time until that precedent for that case will have been chipped away at enough it will collapse.
It makes me mad that they are trying to mess with his buisn6all over again. Pray he keeps his strength to continue the fight for freedom
That's what I DON'T get: if you want a rainbow/gay wedding cake, go the hell to a bakery catering to the LGBTQ community. You can't coerce acceptance. Jeesh.
Many others stand with you Mr Phillips. God bless you
I'm so glad
What an inspiration. His gentle approach is so amazing to me even when he is under fire. He offered cookies to the ladies who were protesting his way of life and his livelihood, (his means of survival because I dont think a lot of them truly understand that they are destroying peoples abilities to take care of themselves and their families financially with these cases) with genuine gentle love! You have inspired me Jack Phillips. Thank you for standing up for us, for free speech and for the bedrock of freedom of America and the wider world. Love from Jamaica!
Agreed, agreed !!!!
WE LOVE YOU JACK! Thank YOU for taking a stand for our savior. You keep me motivated. Thank you. See you in heaven!
Hey Kelinde I think your cute
This was a spiritual battle. He stuck to his belief and faith. Well done!!
As a lesbian I support the man because he has the right to say no to anyone and he wants to follow his religion, the gay couple should have gone to another baker and not tried the sue someone, who cares what others think as long as your happy then your fine. I’m not religious and a lesbian I’d be hurt sure but I wouldn’t try to ruin this mans life
Hello
You are EXACTLY RIGHT!
Imagine if a gay baker was asked to create a cake with messages against LGBT people.
Would he or she be ok with that? I don't think so, and that baker would have every right in the world to reject a request like that.
I'm very happy for this positive outcome.
"Positive"
PPositive for discriminatory Christofascists.
SonOfAlbi I can tell you're still struggling with addiction! My prayers go out to your family!
If I lived anywhere near Masterpiece Cakeshop, I would be sure to buy goods there all the time and give him my support. God Bless Jack Phillips.
If I ever find myself in Colorado, I vow to visit this guy, buy something from him, and shake his hand. God bless him
That’s so awesome praise God, my family and I were praying for you in California!!
Thank you Lord.
Jen Babe ME TOO!
God is so awesome will keep on praying
Glory be to God, I sow it with tears. God is good. We love every body, but not every choice. God bless this man and his 👪
God Bless America. Much Love from Massachusetts in the trenches fighting the liberals over here!
This was a very soft battle, lets pray for those brothers and sisters that are in countries where preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ could literally mean decapitation or any horrible death
Amen....but in the coming persecution we will be happy to have that one on the books.
God bless Masterpiece Cakeshop!
Love you guys. .in Christ jesus. ..hallelujah.
God is truly amazing.
God bless these people. No one should ever feel or even be subjected to these social pressures to promote ideologies that don’t agree to their own.
Humble inspiration ,all glory to our Heavenly Father !!!
How could you ever want to bring such trouble & hate to a man like this.
God Is Good
I’m glad his rights have been protected! Everyone EVERYONE is entitled to their beliefs
Land of the Free, Home of the Brave. Thank you Jack for proving it.
Such a beautiful example of loving those that dislike us in our faith! Thank you jack for teaching millions about loving those that hate you in the mist of the fire. Thank you God for getting all the glory!
The people suing this guy are like that dude that keeps tailgating you in the middle lane of the highway, when there happen to be 4 other wide open lanes with no one driving on them.
God Bless this man!
I just recently found out about this. And im soooo greatful for the Trump administration and how the Lord used them to bring about this Huuuuuge victory for the Kingdom of Light and the USA. This is such a blessing for our Country and more grace for America to continue to prosper. Thank You Jesus.
Trey Pierce praise Innana !
Trey Pierce The supreme court is NOT part of the presidential administration. The Supreme Court is the head of the judicial branch of the US government and has no connection with the executive branch outside of justices appointment.
Trey Pierce are you JOKING? YOU THINK D. TRUMP, an egotistical, cheating, lustful, lying, sociopath was put in the WH bc of God? How do u people not see that he is a BAD man? How are you so BLIND?
You're deranged
Klaus -_- the United States is built on a system of checks and balances. On of these checks and balances is that the judicial branch has no connection of legislature and executive affairs. AKA, the Supreme Court is not connected to the trump administration. This was done to keep one man or being from controlling the way others live. Interesting how that works, isn’t it?
God bless this man.
I totally support this guy and his business 👏🏽
Keep standing on the word of the Lord.
May Jesus bless him and keep him happy
God Bless you Jack. Glory be to God, the most high.
Seems like a very humble, kind, down to earth man. It's nice to know that he won the battle.
God bless this great man and God bless America
🙌👍 God is good All the time 😊
Jack God Bless you, your family and your business. You are not against people but against Satan as most of us.
Im an asian ethnic, and I grew up in America and Canada with judeo christian values. This man stood his ground and held his values without compromise. He deserved this victory. I love America (and Canada).
God is a promise keeper and a miracle working God.I remember asking God to intervene in his situation and as usual he didn’t disappoint.He’s really an inspirational to us Christians on how regardless of the financial loss and harassment he chose God.Am so moved.
