Story I saw in our Sunday paper.
Cake shop owner will continue to reject orders for same-sex weddingsQuote:
Two weeks ago, David Mullins and Charlie Craig didn't think much would come from the Facebook post they wrote condemning a Lakewood bakery that refused to make a cake for their same-sex wedding reception.
But, as word spread, their story sparked thousands to rally around the couple — and around Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips, who turned the two away for religious reasons.
Quote:
Phillips said he received more negative phone calls in the first few days but that most people who have come in or called recently share messages of support.
"When I do a cake for a first birthday party, I imagine the family gathered around taking pictures and laughing. When I do a graduation cake, I think of all the hard work it took to get them there," Phillips said. "I feel like I'm part of the celebration, and I can't take part in that kind of celebration (a same-sex wedding)."
Despite the protest, Phillips said he doesn't plan on lifting his ban.
"I'm not going to change my business because of a petition," Phillips said. "I'm just going to do the best I can do to honor Jesus Christ."
