The attorney for a Christian baker who has been targeted by California officials over her refusal to make a cake for a same-sex couple is hoping to take the shocking case to the U.S. Supreme Court. 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.
That couple reportedly became frustrated and filed a complaint. “They ignited a firestorm on social media,” Keim said. “They accused her of turning them away harshly, turning them away completely, which she hadn't been trying to do. She'd been trying to work with them and help them as much as she could in good conscience – and she has been in court ever since.” Keim said Miller is being persecuted by her own government, noting that the case has volleyed through the courts.
