Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cake Shop, who refused to create a cake recognizing a gender transition, claims his concerns are rooted in his freedom of speech.
DENVER — The owner of a Lakewood bakery is trying to take his latest case to the Colorado Supreme Court.
On the same day the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would hear the case, Autumn Scardina called Masterpiece Cakeshop and requested a cake for herself.Scardina, who is a transgender woman, then expressed what the cake meant to her. "We were told that the colors were symbolic of changing from a man to a woman," said Phillips."And it was clearly a message, and I shouldn't be forced to create it."
That business owner sued to clarify whether her graphic design business would have to make wedding websites for same-sex couples. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to release its decision on that case in June.
