18 Years on Mission, in Marriage and with 10 Children (in Addition to 4 in Heaven) in An Island of the Pacific Ocean

Gabriel, 18, is the third child of Maruxa and David. He was only six months old when his parents arrived in Guam. When he arrived in the Island he didn’t speak English very well, and when he was little, he had no friends. In this regard he says that, although it has been difficult to jump over some obstacles, he sees that “God has made me happy.”

USA: Colorado Supreme Court dismisses LGBT+ lawsuit harassing pastry chef Jack Phillips

The same attorney who filed an unsuccessful complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission in 2017 commenced a lawsuit in state court over the same custom cake request the attorney made at that time. The request was for a custom-designed cake, pink on the inside and blue on the outside, to reflect and celebrate a gender transition. Masterpiece Cakeshop declined that request because the customer specifically requested that the cake express messages and celebrate an event in conflict with owner Jack Phillips’ religious beliefs. The decision was not because of the person who requested it, as Phillips would not create a cake expressing the requested message no matter who asked for it.
