Charlie Craig and David Mullins got married in Massachusetts and wanted to celebrate their wedding where they lived in Colorado. In July 2012, they went to a local bakery, Masterpiece Cakeshop, a limited liability company in Colorado, and sought to purchase a wedding cake. The owner, Jack Phillips, refused to design and bake the cake, saying that gay marriage violated his religious beliefs. He said that he would be implicitly complicit in violation of his religion if he were to design and bake the cake. He was willing for his bakery to sell an already prepared cake for the couple, but not to make one for them.

There were two questions presented in Masterpiece Cakeshop that were not resolved by the Court: Would requiring services violate the free exercise clause of the First Amendment? Would requiring services be impermissible compelled speech in violation of the First Amendment?

At the oral argument in Masterpiece Cakeshop, Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito and Gorsuch asked questions and made comments that left no doubt as to how they would vote. Indeed, Justices Thomas and Gorsuch wrote a separate opinion in Masterpiece Cakeshop saying that the bakery should have won on free speech grounds. 2ff7e9595c
