Jack Phillips, of Masterpiece Cakeshop fame, is back in court for the third time since the Supreme Court’s 2017 decision. Phillips has most recently been sued in Colorado state court by Autumn Scardina, a transgender attorney who requested Phillips create a transgender transition cake. When Phillips declined, Scardina filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. After being sued in Federal Court, Scardina dropped the CRC complaint then sued Phillips in state court, alleging discrimination and false advertising under Colorado state law. The false advertising claim was dismissed; trial on the remaining discrimination claim began on March 22, 2021 and a decision is expected soon.
