Jack Phillips Bücher

In 2012, Jack Phillips faced a pivotal moment when he refused to create a custom cake for a same-sex wedding at his Masterpiece Cakeshop, sparking a national debate. The question "Why not just make the cake?" became central as Phillips defended his decision before the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and various courts, ultimately losing until the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in his favor in June 2018. Submitting would have spared him from harassment and death threats, and it would have been less costly than losing significant business when the state mandated he design cakes for same-sex weddings or none at all. However, for Phillips, deeper principles were at stake—principles he deemed too important to sacrifice for convenience or safety. These principles resonate with all Americans, including his critics, as the freedoms he fought to protect could be irretrievably lost. In this inspiring account, Phillips articulates his journey and the challenges he faced, aiming to encourage others to stand firm in their beliefs, no matter how daunting the obstacles may be.
