The Colorado Supreme Court’s announcement is just another move in Jack Phillips’s years-long legal ordeal over his religious convictions. …

As CBN News reported in 2018, Phillips won a partial victory at the Supreme Court after refusing to make a cake for a gay wedding because promoting it would violate his religious beliefs.

He was immediately targeted by a transgender person named Autumn Scardina who called Phillips’ suburban Denver cake shop in 2017. … Scardina requested a birthday cake. … The shop refused after Scardina explained it would celebrate his transition from male to female.

The case involves the state’s anti-discrimination law that makes it illegal to refuse to provide services to people based on protected characteristics like race, religion or sexual orientation. The key issue in the case is whether the cakes Phillips creates are a form of speech and whether forcing him to make a cake with a message he does not support is a violation of his First Amendment right to free speech. …
