The US Supreme Court has ruled that Colorado’s Civil Rights Commission violated a Colorado Baker’s religious liberty when penalized him for refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex couple.
Washington Times.
The 7 to 2 ruling found the Colorado Civil Rights Commission did not view the baker’s case with “religious neutrality.”
“The reason and motive for the baker’s refusal were based on his sincere religious beliefs and convictions,” Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote in the opinion for the court.
It was a narrow ruling but a victory none the less.
