Judge says bakery can refuse to make same sex wedding cake

A judge has ruled that a California bakery can continue to refuse to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.

The ruling allows Tastries Bakery Cathy Miller to continue to refuse to bake a wedding cake for Mireya and Eileen Rodriguez-Del Rio.

The couple filed a complaint last fall claiming the bakers refusal violated a law that prohibits public businesses to deny service to anyone based on gender, race, religion or sexual orientation.

"A wedding cake is not just a cake in Free Speech analysis," said the judge on his ruling. "It is an artistic expression by the person making it that is to be used traditionally as a centerpiece in the celebration of a marriage."

The judge's ruling stands until the case goes to trial.

Should bakers have to produce wedding cakes for same sex weddings if it goes against their personal beliefs? Please comment below or on the Greg Belfrage Show page at Facebook!
