Washington (CNN)The Trump administration is backing a Colorado baker who refused to create a cake for the wedding of a same-sex couple.

The case -- one of the most important to be heard this term -- pits advocates for religious liberty against supporters of LGBT rights.

In a friend-of-the-court brief filed with the Supreme Court, the Justice Department urged the court to side with Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips, who says making a cake for a same-sex couple violates his religious liberty.

"Forcing Phillips to create expression for and participate in a ceremony that violates his sincerely held religious beliefs invades his First Amendment rights," Acting Solicitor General Jeff Wall wrote for the Justice Department.

1. Embarrass them.

Let it be known that they only want to sell to a very narrow set of their kind of people.
The religious bigots.
Maybe they can survive as an "Evangelical only" bakery. Good luck with that.

2. Do they have a problem baking a cake for Jews?

Atheists? Muslims? How about registered sex offenders? Or is it just a problem when the "difference" is plain to see? Maybe they should require a sworn statement of a personal relationship with Jesus before they agree to make a wedding cake.
