Abstract

The article discusses the legal rights of minorities in relation to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the 2018 case Masterpience Cakeshop v. Colorado Human Rights Commission which deals with religious freedom, antidiscrimination law, and the rights of LGBTQ persons in America. The U.S. Constitution's First Amendment and the doctrine of unconstitutional animus are examined, along with the legal rights of business owner Jack Phillips who refused to make a same-sex wedding cake.
