(CBN News) For nearly a decade, Colorado confectioner Jack Phillips has drawn the ire of many LGBT activists over his Christian convictions.
The baker has been caught up in controversy since 2012 when a gay couple from Colorado made plans to be legally married in Massachusetts before heading back to the Centennial State to celebrate their nuptials with family and friends.
As part of the festivities, the same-sex pair ordered a cake from Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood. Ultimately, though, Phillips declined to bake the themed cake because doing so would violate his sincerely held beliefs about marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
