As Jack Phillips faces his third discrimination lawsuit, a few salient points about the gay and transgender lobby and free speech and free exercise in America have become glaringly obvious.
Despite a narrowly defined Supreme Court ruling in his favor in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, he was hit him almost immediately with a lawsuit by Autumn Scardina, an attorney in Denver, contending that Phillips was illegally discriminating by refusing to bake a cake celebrating Scardina’s gender transition from male to female. That case was dropped, and now Scardina is trying again. The newest lawsuit sounds like a regurgitation of the second one, claiming, as CBS Denver reports, “Phillips discriminated against Scardina and used deceptive and unfair trade practices.”
