reat things in our lives lives amen amen before I go any further I'd like to recognize Danny marot and his family God is about to do great things for them they have stayed strong in the face of national criticism over religious freedom and freedom of speech as this case moves through our courts the press and most recently on the steps of Ovation cakes let's continue reading for the oppressive acts of Ruthless People or like a storm beating against a wall or like the Relentless heat of the desert
but you silence the Roar of foreign Nations as the shade of a cloud cools Relentless heat so boastful songs of Ruthless People are stilled amen amen amen I'd like to invite Danny to come up here and share the latest update thank you thank you Pastor and uh I want to thank all of you for supporting our family in prayer and buying our cakes we uh we started our business about 17 years ago because we uh we truly loved and believed in this community and we thrived because we're honest and we bake g
ood products I mean Ann and I certainly didn't ever dream that we'd be put in this position and it hasn't been easy but we felt that we needed to stand on our faith and the word of God so the news I have for you is uh the Supreme Court will be rendering its decision here in the next couple weeks and as soon as we get any new information you guys will be the first to know so thank you you believe in miracles Ovation cakes will prevail amen say amen amen amen nice to meet you nice to meet you it's
good to see you sir do it right hi hello Danny very nice to meet you nice to meet you if you guys want to take a seat I think we're ready thanks thank you R thank you for being here so let's start at the beginning why did you refuse to make Park and Fullerton a custom wedding cake I don't endorse same-sex marriages um so I apologized and told them that I was willing to sell them any of my other cakes just not a creative Custom Design you know I'm I'm an artist so to force me to make and bake a
cake that goes against my faith is to compel me to engage in speech that I don't agree with it violates his first amendment right we believe this case will Define the the line between anti-discrimination statutes and Free Speech but should Frank Fullerton and William Park be denied a service because Danny doesn't believe in same-sex weddings to me yes like I said it uh it goes against my faith and there are several other excellent bakeries in the area that uh I was more than willing to help them
get in contact with if baking a cake is speech then so are banquet services floral arrangements taking pictures any of these businesses could deny a same-sex wedding if it's artistic expression that communicates is speech and it's protected so I understand you've stopped making custom wedding cakes or just any Custom Cakes in general uh yes ma'am that's true um business has slowed quite a bit but look I just won't be forced to deny my faith in order to make a living why put everything at risk I
mean I don't mean to to be a flip but it's just a cake well with with all due respect my faith is not a risk uh I see it as a reward you know and and uh we try to honor God in everything we do wouldn't it be good to show that Christians are also tolerant and forgiving should not Frank and William be tolerant as well should they not honor Danny's choice and just find another Baker tolerance goes both ways way to go mom so I understand you're about to lose your home and your business uh no that's
not true honey that's not true we've adjusted our budget um God has always provided for us and and uh we're at peace with our decision who wants ice cream oh hey hey Dad yeah can I talk to you for a second the of course well just with everything that's been going on with the lawsuit I've been you know watching how you've handled it and just how you're doing the hard thing by standing up for what you believe in that really inspired me actually kind of been working on a new song oh yeah yeah do y
