Twelve years after first getting sued for refusing to bake a same-sex wedding cake, Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips won his third and what he hopes will be his final court case.
The latest lawsuit, which the Colorado supreme court dismissed on procedural grounds last week, alleged that Phillips discriminated against the transgender plaintiff by declining to bake and design a pink cake that, with blue frosting, would have celebrated the male customer’s gender transition. Phillips argued he declined to make the cake because the message conflicted with his Christian faith. His decision had nothing to do with the person making the request.
