I'm the cake artist who won at the Supreme Court. Here's why I'm still in court

I'm an artist who is again facing punishment for declining to express a message I don’t believe. But it’s not just my freedom at risk. It’s yours too.

In these days of growing anger and social upheaval, civility is what my neighbors and millions of Americans are looking for. Coercion is not.

A few years ago, an attorney asked me to create a different cake, blue on the outside and pink on the inside. The attorney said this cake’s theme would "celebrate" and "symbolize" a "transition from male to female." I could see the symbolism. The attorney also asked me to create a custom cake depicting Satan smoking marijuana, admittedly trying to change what I believe. But I can’t create custom cakes expressing those messages for anyone. They go against what I believe. So I politely declined, offering the attorney anything I would provide to other customers.
