won a partial victory in the Supreme Court back in 2018 when he and his Colorado bakery, Masterpiece Cakeshop, refused to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple.
This time the issue is over a transgender-themed cake, as Phillips is now in court facing off against a trans woman he refused to bake a custom birthday cake for.When trans lawyer Autumn Scardina heard that Phillips’s case was going in front of the Supreme Court she decided to see if he was being forthcoming about his reasons for not making the cake.According to Phillips, he wasn’t discriminating against gay people as a whole, but wouldn’t make the cake because it involved a religious ceremony that he disagreed with as a Christian.
