Denver baker Jack Phillips has appealed an order from the Colorado Civil Rights Commission (CCRC) requiring him to prepare wedding cakes for same-sex couple.
Denver baker Jack Phillips has appealed an order from the Colorado Civil Rights Commission (CCRC) requiring him to prepare wedding cakes for same-sex couples, reports ABC News.
In May, the CCRC rejected Phillips' appeal of a judge's earlier ruling that he “unlawfully discriminated against a gay couple by refusing to sell them a wedding cake” in 2012.
Phillips has said that making the cake would violate the Christian principles by which he runs his business.
Phillips' attorneys say that the decision violates the baker's First Amendment rights.
Earlier this month we reported that a bakery in Northern Ireland could face legal action from The Equality Commission for Northern Ireland for refusing to take an order for a cake with the slogan “support gay marriage.”
