Meanwhile, Kennedy would vote for the urt to hear the appeal of the owner of Masterpiece Cakhop Colorado, who’d been sanctned for refg to bake a weddg ke for two gay men. The acceptance of an appeal om a baker who had refed to create a ke for a gay uple based on relig objectns uld easily have led to a public perceptn of new Supreme Court hostily toward gay rights.

THE SUPREME COURT’S RULG ON REFG GAY BS

The backstory of two gay rights s handled tanm 2017 has new salience today. Kennedy had been the voice of the urt’s progrsive gay rights lgs datg to 1996. Colorado Civil Rights Commissn was brought by a baker, Jack Phillips, who had been sanctned unr Colorado law for refg to create a ke for two gay men celebratg their marriage.

Phillips argued that beg forced to provi a weddg ke to a gay uple vlated his nstutnal rights to the ee exercise of relign and ee speech. He’d prevly told lleagu that he was skeptil of relig exemptns for retailers who would ny servic to gay people. “The oute of s like this other circumstanc mt awa further elaboratn the urts, all the ntext of regnizg that the disput mt be rolved wh tolerance, whout undue disrpect to scere relig beliefs, and whout subjectg gay persons to digni when they seek goods and servic an open market, ” Kennedy wrote, reflectg his ntued tentativens.

Gsburg and Sotomayor were the only dissenters, homg on the bias the gay men faced: “What matters, ” Gsburg wrote, “is that Phillips would not provi a good or service to a same-sex uple that he would provi to a heterosexual uple.
