Jack Phillips, the baker who was sued for refusing to make a cake for a same-sex wedding because of his religious conscience, was back in court on Thursday, this time for turning down a request for a “gender transition” cake.
The first lawsuit against Phillips, who owns Masterpiece Cakeshop in Colorado, worked its way up to the United States Supreme Court, which in 2018, reached a 7-2 decision that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission acted with hostility toward religion when it ordered Phillips to make cakes for same-sex weddings as well as conduct so-called sensitivity training for his employees.
The Christian Post reported on how Phillips will once again be represented in court by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF):
The same state agency pursued another case against Phillips because he declined to make a cake celebrating transgenderism. Phillips filed a lawsuit against the state alleging harassment and it subsequently dropped the matter.
After that, a local trans activist and attorney named Autumn Scardina called Phillips’ Denver-area bakery to order a custom made gender-transition cake. Scardina waited past the appeal deadline so he could file a new lawsuit in a different court.

This story is as silly as they come. They think we are all very stupid.
ReplyDeleteIf I don’t want someone’s business, I simply make an ugly cake. Or a cake that taste bad. Give the ladies’s their money back. Go on with your life.

So right. And charge an arm and a leg for it. Stop being so Damn self righteous.
DeleteDuncan Hines people.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this would be happening to a Muslim baker. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI want a bacon cake (4;10)
ReplyDeleteThey are being baited. Why would someone who already knows about the first refusal to bake a cake, go and ask them for this cake?
ReplyDeleteTo cause trouble
DeleteMs Autumn will be paying him for his counter suit.
ReplyDeleteIt is harassment.
ReplyDelete6:38 is on the right track. Since the plaintiff is an attorney filing a frivolous suit is verboten. Hope defendant blasts back, alleging harassment, intent to undermine the business, frivolous filing and asks for sanctions including punitive damages and payment of all costs. Both legal barrels!
@410 no it wouldn't because after you begin harassing one of us an army of us will show up on your doorstep or at your job to ask you to stop. It works. Christians should try it instead of crying about their oppression from their living rooms.
