Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission | (No. 16-111) (2018)
Masterpiece Cakeshop versus Colorado Civil Rights Commission was expected to address the conflict between the civil rights of same-sex couples and the First Amendment rights of those who oppose same-sex marriage for religious reasons. Instead, the Court decided the case on narrow procedural grounds, leaving the big questions for another day.

Jack Phillips, a devout Christian, operated Masterpiece Cakeshop. In 2012, a same-sex couple tried to order a wedding cake from him. But Phillips told them that he wouldn’t make a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding, believing it to violate his religious beliefs. Philips offered to sell them other baked goods, just not a custom-designed wedding cake.
