"It's the California Civil Rights Department that has gone after Cathy for these past seven or eight years. During this time, this seven or eight-year period, the US Supreme Court has said twice ... when it comes to the wedding vendors who have a conscientious objection, 'Back off. Back off.' They said that in Masterpiece Cake Shop, which also involved a cake artist in Colorado, and they said it in 303 Creative, which involved a wedding website designer. So, the US Supreme Court has spoken very clearly, and California courts have not had ears to hear." -Adèle Keim, senior counsel at Becket

Adèle Keim, senior counsel at Becket, told CBN News that baker Cathy Miller, owner of Tastries shop in Bakersfield, California, has been in a years-long battle after declining to make a cake for a same-sex couple.

"What started this battle is Cathy's faith," Keim said. "Cathy Miller is a woman of faith. She's also a creative person. She's had her hands in all kinds of things. She has been a wedding planner, she taught for years at a Christian school, and her dream was always to open her own custom bakery, so she did that."

Once marijuana was legalized in California, Miller started having customers come in asking for weed brownies and other sexually-themed treats that she wasn't comfortable making, so she set standards about what would and wouldn't be acceptable for her to offer.

"She created what she calls the design standards," Keim said, noting Miller avoids grotesque Halloween themes, adult-themed products, and has other such restrictions, including the decision not to create products celebrating divorces or gay marriages.

In 2017, the situation came to a head when a same-sex couple requested a wedding cake. Miller reportedly politely declined and offered to instead send them to a willing baker.
