A gay couple's attorney says a Colorado baker's religious beliefs do not give him a right to discriminate by refusing to make wedding cakes for same-sex ceremonies.
But the attorney for Masterpiece Cakeshop in suburban Denver says the baker has a right not to spread a message with which he disagrees.
At issue in the complaint from David Mullins and Charlie Craig against the cake maker is whether religious freedom can protect a business from discrimination allegations by gay couples.
An administrative judge in Colorado's Civil Rights Commission heard the case Wednesday morning. A ruling is expected later this week.
Colorado only allows civil unions. Mullins and Craig were married in Massachusetts, and planned to celebrate in Colorado.
