This is about standing up for the truth. And it’s about ensuring that every girl and woman has an equal opportunity to a fair playing field. That’s why we’re standing with courageous female athletes like Selina Soule, Chelsea Mitchell, Alanna Smith, and Ashley Nicoletti.

This is exactly the situation Jessica Bates faces in Oregon. Oregon officials are preventing Jessica from adopting because they disagree with her Christian beliefs—despite ...

All because he wants to say what he believes without fear of government punishment. But let’s back up. Jack is a cake artist in Colorado. As the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, he gladly serves all people.
