Judge rules against Christian baker Jack Phillips in transgender 'birthday' cake case

A judge has ruled that Colorado Christian baker Jack Phillips violated state anti-discrimination law by refusing to bake a pink-and-blue transgender birthday cake.

Denver District Court Judge A. Bruce Jones ruled Tuesday that Phillips violated the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act by refusing to make the cake for Autumn Scardina.

In his opinion, Jones concluded that Phillips engaged in unlawful discrimination by denying “goods and services" because of Scardina’s “transgender status.”
