Jack Phillips: Christian Baker of Supreme Court Fame on Why He Couldn’t Bake that Gay Cake—and the Crazy Fallout

Harassment, death threats, national outcry, and financial fallout. Christian baker Jack Phillips faced all this and more after he refused to bake & design a customized wedding cake celebrating a gay wedding—an unexpected battle that ultimately took him all the way to the Supreme Court. He joins the show to discuss his new book, The Cost of My Faith, and his legal journey.

Is Jack really the anti-gay bigot the media made him out to be? Why not just bake the cake? Just how vitriolic and nasty was the targeted backlash Jack and his family faced? And how do we balance freedom of religion and speech with respect for LGBT Americans?

We discuss all this and more.
