Let them eat (wedding) cake!
Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Masterpiece Cakeshop v. ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Civil Rights Commission
1:00 – 2:00pm
Tuesday, December 5, 2017
Hazel Gates Woodruff Cottage
Five years ago, Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, CO refused to bake a cake for David and Charlie's wedding reception because David and Charlie are gay. ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ state law prohibits such businesses from refusing service on the basis of sexual orientation.
On December 5, US Supreme Court will hear arguments for this ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ case, and US protections from discrimination hang in the balance. Their decision will determine whether businesses can discriminate against customers on the basis of such factors as sexual orientation, race, gender, and religion.
Come hear University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Law School Professor Scott Skinner-Thompson speak on this important ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ case. And feel free to eat some wedding cake!
