In a significant legal ruling, a California appeals court determined that a Kern County baker, Catharine Miller of Tastries Bakery, violated the rights of a same-sex couple by refusing to provide a wedding cake based on her religious beliefs. This case, which began in 2017, hinged on whether the cake was considered a custom item or a generic bakery product. The court ultimately ruled in favor of the couple, emphasizing the role of anti-discrimination laws and the necessity to uphold equal treatment regardless of sexual orientation in commercial services.
The court found that the refusal to bake the cake was a violation of the couple's rights, emphasizing the importance of anti-discrimination laws.
The distinction between ‘custom’ and ‘generic’ cakes played a crucial role in the legal arguments, influencing the court's perspective on the case.
