Description
Freedom of religion and speech are America’s foundation. Now, these fundamental rights are being challenged by sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) non-discrimination statutes and policies. The Supreme Court will soon hear the case of cake designer Jack Phillips. The State of Colorado ordered him to create a custom wedding cake for a same-sex wedding. Jack serves all customers, but his conscience won’t allow him to express all messages. Join us to hear Jack and others talk about the challenges of creating art and doing business in keeping with conscience in the 21st Century.
