Colorado's Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed on procedural grounds a lawsuit against a Christian baker who refused to bake a cake for a transgender woman. Justices declined to weigh in on the free speech issues that brought the case to national attention.
Baker Jack Phillips was sued by attorney Autumn Scardina in 2017 after his Denver-area bakery refused to make a pink cake with blue frosting to celebrate her gender transition.
Justices said in the 6-3 majority opinion that Scardina had not exhausted her options to seek redress through another court before filing her lawsuit.
The case was among several in Colorado pitting LGBTQ+ civil rights against First Amendment rights. In 2018, Phillips scored a partial victory before the U.S. Supreme Court after refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple’s wedding.
Scardina attempted to order her cake the same day the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would hear Phillips’ appeal in the wedding cake case. Scardina said she wanted to challenge Phillips' claims that he would serve LGBTQ+ customers and denied her attempt to get the cake was a set up for litigation.

How is this a win for Jack? The justices gave the Gaystapo permission to keep attacking instead of putting this to bed for good.
Is this still dragging on? Unbelievable!
I’m surprised Jack Phillips has not moved to another city in Colorado or even outside that state.
He has needed to spend thousands of dollars fighting this stupidity. Should accuse the plaintiff’s lawyer of
Malicious Prosecution. This was never really about any ‘cake’.
Yes and time for the transgender woman to learn how to bake go all the way of back off only options.
Is a transgender woman a woman pretending to be a man or a man pretending to be a woman. I can never keep that straight.
Substitute fake for transgender and you’ll have your answer.
“Transgender” woman = fake woman = man, a person with XY chromosomes.
Again the cake shop owner. The perverts have been after this guy for years, just because he has standards.
Relations in this country be it race or identity took a major hit backwards under Obama it may take another 60 years to get back in balance.
They haven’t bled him dry yet and made him suffer enough.
People need to understand something. This is a small business, not some big place or some commercialized place. If you are ever passing through, stop in his shop. He is there and it’s not much bigger than an average Subway sandwich shop.
Grandkids are playing on the sidewalk outside or doing homework at a corner table.
He is usually there and exudes a deep calmness only a true man of faith really has. If you buy his book, he’ll sign it.
Stop in and get a slice of cake and some coffee.
If you go to the place, it will make you all the more disgusted at the people attacking him.
The perverts have several dozen options in town that are just as good but they seek him out and try to force him into a corner. It’s shameful that Colorado allows that and the cowardly Supreme court did not stop it.
This is a very decent man and he remains decent despite what the propaganda says.
That’s a man pretending to be a woman.
The process is the punishment.
“Is a transgender woman a woman pretending to be a man or a man pretending to be a woman. I can never keep that straight.”
It used to confuse me in the past as well. Then I learned this one neat trick. If you read “transgender” woman, replace the word “transgender” with “fake”. Fake woman means it is a man.
Hey pinkos, we are sick of your crap and aren’t taking it anymore. GROW UP!
If it wanted a blue cake with pink frosting it could have just ordered a blue cake with pink frosting. Why does the baker need to know what it is for?
They’ re ‘on the hunt’ for people they can sue - that’s why.
Why does the bakery need to know what the cake is for. Order a pink cake with blue frosting and leave your private life out of it. Does Doug Emhof have to tell the florist that the roses he is buying are for the nanny? No, he just buys them and keeps his mouth shut.
Sickening — talk about malicious prosecution! Phillips is probably second only to PDJT in that regard.
You said it!
Thanks to all of you for helping our my confusion. I guess it’s hard for me to remember because it’s a total psychotic fantasy anyway. I can sort of understand queers - they just happen to be attracted to their own sex, but thinking you’re XX when you’re really XY and visa versa is just insane.
