Masterpiece Cakeshop Owner Sues Colorado After Refusing to Make Birthday Cake Celebrating Transgender Woman's Transition
Summary from the AllSides News Team
Colorado baker Jack Phillips, who recently won a Supreme Court victory after declining to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, is suing the state after the Civil Rights Commission opened another case against him for refusing to create a birthday cake celebrating Denver attorney Amber Scardina's transition from male to female. Many on the Left have criticized Phillips for discriminating against the LGBT community, with some saying that this new case presents a tough legal precedent. Many on the Right argue that Phillips' critics are merely bullying him, citing several antagonistic requests he has received to make cakes with sexually explicit messages and Satanic symbols, which he believes came from Scardina.
