DENVER (AP) A discrimination complaint over a Colorado bakery's refusal to make a wedding cake for a gay couple is being heard in a court.
At issue in the complaint from David Mullins and Charlie Craig against Masterpiece Cakeshop in suburban Denver is whether religious freedom can protect a business from discrimination allegations from gay couples.
An administrative judge in Colorado's Civil Rights Commission heard arguments in the case Wednesday.
The American Civil Liberties Union initiated the process on behalf of the couple last year.
The bakery owner faces up to a year in prison if the court rules against him and he continues to refuse to make wedding cakes for gay couples.
