Mark Brnovich: Refusal to make gender transition cake is protected speech

Sixteen attorneys general have filed an amicus brief in the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, arguing that custom cakes are artistic works protected by the First Amendment. "There are many costs of doing business but they do not include your civil rights," Brnovich said. "Small business owners maintain the ability to express themselves in their words and their work." The suit centers on Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips who is now in court over declining to make a gender transition cake.
