Man Says Indianapolis Florist Denied Him Service Over Gay Marriage - Newsweek

Many people in the LGBT community feared that the law could be used to discriminate against people for their sexual orientation, The Indiana Star reported.In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a Colorado baker had the constitutional right to deny service to a gay couple in 2012 because of his religious beliefs. The owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, Jack Phillips, refused to sell a wedding cake to Charlie Craig and David Mullins, a gay couple. The couple filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and claimed Phillips was discriminating against the two based on their sexual orientation. Phillips said he wouldn’t sell them the cake due to his religious beliefs. The Supreme Court sided with Phillips, saying "the reason and motive for the baker's refusal were based on his sincere religious beliefs and convictions."This story has been updated to include comment from David Elliott. .node-type-article .article-body p:last-of-type::after, .node-type-slideshow .article-body p:last-of-type::after{content:none}... https://www.newsweek.com/man-denied-service-florist-gay-marriage-1040569
