Christians deserve equal protection too! - Christian baker case may go to Supreme Court

Case may uphold First And Fourteenth Amendments for Christians.

The case of a pair of bakers who refused to bake a cake for a lesbian couple, may go all the way to the Supreme Court and resolve the apparent infringement of their First and Fourteenth Amendments.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - The attorney for Aaron and Melissa Klein, Ken Klukowski, told The Blaze that he thinks their case will go to the Supreme Court and resolve the issue once and for all.

Presently, the case is on its way to the Oregon Court of Appeals, challenging the government's decision to force the Kleins pay $137,000 to a pair of women who demanded they bake a wedding cake for them.

The Kleins own Sweet Cakes by Melissa, a bakery that specializes in wedding cakes. The Kleins refused to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding.

Many Christians have expressed concern they may have to participate in same-sex ceremonies because the law considers such refusal to be a form of discrimination. However, the law puts people against their sincerely held religious beliefs, which means they feel they would be committing a sin by participating.

The current situation is akin to someone forcing a Muslim to eat pork. Why should a religious person be forced to participate in a same-sex ceremony against their religious convictions?

The Bill of Rights codifies freedom of religion and conscience, as well as equal protection under the law. Religious people deserve protection from discrimination too.

Klein told The Blaze, "The free exercise of religion is the right to live your daily life in accordance with your beliefs and traditions . it's not just what you say or think in your head; it's the ability to peaceably act about your faith," Klukowski said. "For a business owner that means the right to run your business with your faith."
