A Colorado baker sued over his refusal to bake a cake for a transgender woman lost an appeal Thursday after a panel of judges ruled that his decision violated the state’s anti-discrimination laws.
Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips first made headlines in 2012, when he was sued for refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding. That case made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, with justices ruling in his favor in 2018.
His latest legal battle involved Denver-based attorney Autumn Scardina, a transgender woman who said the Christian-owned bakery refused to sell her a cake because of her gender identity.
