WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday threw out a lower court ruling against the owners of an Oregon bakery who refused based on their Christian beliefs to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple in another case pitting gay rights against religious rights.
The state court will have to come up with a new decision and potentially could rule against the bakery owners, Melissa and Aaron Klein, a second time even after taking into consideration last year’s Supreme Court decision in favor of a Denver-area Christian baker who had refused to make a cake for two gay men. In December 2017, the Oregon court had let stand a lower state court ruling against the Kleins.
The decision left unresolved the bigger question of whether certain businesses can claim religious exemptions from anti-discrimination laws. When McPherson returned to the shop to protest, Aaron Klein quoted a Bible passage: “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female, it is an abomination.”

The tide is slowly turning om a liberal court and bad behavior
FFS, just settle this. Supremes should decide to make someone bake a cake or not. Kicking the can on this is weak.

Supreme Court sends gay wedding cake dispute back to state courtsThe Oregon case raises the same issues as the Colorado baker a year ago who refused to provide a custom cake for the wedding of two men. These cases are always weird to me. Like I get the discrimination is wrong but on the other hand, I don't want you making ANYTHING for me if you're a hateful bigot. I can’t believe in this day and age, there are no gay owned bakeries. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. With the court becoming more conservative (and without knowing how long RBG will remain on it) time seems to be the most influential factor. Not to mention their is a similar case rising through the courts pertaining to a florist.
