A Colorado State Commission has launched a new legal action against a Christian baker who refuses to make cakes that promote beliefs contrary to his own. The baker had previously refused to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding and now refused an order to bake a case celebrating a ‘gender transition’. The same baker, Mr Jack Philips, had been previously targeted by State officials for his original action. The case was fought all the way to the Supreme Court which narrowly found in the baker’s favour.

Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys representing Phillips and his cake shop filed a federal lawsuit late Tuesday against those officials for doubling down on their ‘anti-religious hostility’.

“The state of Colorado is ignoring the message of the U.S. Supreme Court by continuing to single out Jack for punishment and to exhibit hostility toward his religious beliefs,” said ADF Senior Vice President of U.S. Legal Division Kristen Waggoner. “Even though Jack serves all customers and simply declines to create custom cakes that express messages or celebrate events in violation of his deeply held beliefs, the government is intent on destroying him—something the Supreme Court has already told it not to do. Neither Jack nor any other creative professional should be targeted by the government for living consistently with their religious beliefs.”
