Superior Court

Secondo un giudice della Superior
Court of California, costringere un pasticciere, in contrasto con le
sue convinzioni religiose, a preparare una torta nuziale per un
matrimonio tra una coppia omosessuale costituisce una violazione del
primo emendamento, che tutela la libertà di espressione.

Come si legge nel documento:

"A wedding cake
is not just cake in Free Speech analysis. It is an artistic expression
by the person making it that is to be used traditionally as
centerpiece in the celebration of marriage."

The court rejected two inmates’ constitutional and statutory
challenges to their temporary suspension of access to the building in
which religious services were held. The step was taken because the one
of the inmates had gotten the Catholic chaplain improperly to mail
letters for them while the other got the chaplain to look up
information in the Inmate Management System.
