TĐH: The clash of civil rights law prohibiting discrimination against LGBT on one hand and religious freedom to follow the Bible on the other hand is splitting America in halves and largely explains Trump’s rise to power with the support of the conservatives. The progressive left under Obama has pushed the issue to the degree of oppressing folks with religious beliefs, without carving out a religious exception for them, and thus created a cultural and legal war which is still in full throttle.

Baker Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, accepts congratulations and thanks in his Lakewood shop after the U.S. Supreme Court voted 7-2 in his favor saying his religious beliefs do not violate Colorado’s anti-discrimination law after refusing to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple on June 4, 2018.
