For over a decade, Cathy has brought her unique touch to custom cakes and cookies at Tastries Bakery in Bakersfield. As a former teacher, Cathy\u2019s process for designing wedding cakes is unique: she meets with each couple for over an hour, and spends time teaching them the religious and symbolic meaning behind the wedding cake they\u2019re commissioning to celebrate their union.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adele Keim, senior counsel for Becket, pointed out the U.S. Supreme Court already \u201chas made clear twice \u2026 creative professionals like Cathy Miller shouldn\u2019t have to choose between following their faith and practicing their art.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said, \u201cCalifornia should have dropped its campaign against Cathy years ago and let her design in peace. We plan to appeal this decision to the Supreme Court to defend Cathy\u2019s right to make custom creations that are consistent with her faith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The legal team explained Miller had been approached multiple times for designs that were in opposition to Christianity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So she adopted a set of written standards to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor example. Tastries will not design custom bakery items that depict gory or pornographic images, celebrate drug use, or demean others. Cathy will also not design wedding cakes that celebrate ideals that violate the Christian sacrament of marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The California Civil Rights Department, which started the state\u2019s war on Christianity, in 2017 sued Miller after she told a same-sex couple that she could not personally design and create their wedding cake, and offered to put them in touch with another custom baker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCathy has always been clear that she was only trying to follow her faith and her conscience in standing up for what she believes in\u2014and did so in a respectful, polite, and loving way,\u201d said Charles LiMandri, of LiMandri &amp; Jonna LLP and Thomas More Society special counsel. \u201cWhile it is disappointing the California Supreme Court has refused to correct the injustice Cathy has endured, we hope the U.S. Supreme Court will chart a different path and restore Cathy\u2019s religious liberty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colorado, when it tried to force cake artist Jack Phillips to violate his Christian faith by promoting same-sex weddings, lost at the Supreme Court and in addition got scolded for its \u201chostility\u201d to Christianity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colorado suffered another defeat when its attack on a web design company, 303 Creative, trying to force it also to promote same-sex relationships, ended up with the same result as the Phillips case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taxpayers in that state have been billed for millions of dollars for legal fees in the failed leftist fights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a post on the Colorado cases, but I wasn&#8217;t aware of this California case.
