On the heels of a U.S. Supreme Court victory this summer for a graphic artist who didn't want to design wedding websites for same-sex couples, Colorado's highest court said Tuesday it will now hear the case of a Christian baker who refused to make a cake celebrating a gender transition.

The Colorado Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday, June 18, 2024, in a lawsuit against Phillips, the Christian baker who refused to make a cake celebrating a gender transition, one of three such cases from the state that have involved LGBTQ+ civil rights and First Amendment rights. Two cases have centered Phillips.

The Colorado Supreme Court took Tuesday’s oral arguments in the transgender celebration cake case under advisement without ruling right away. The case originated when Phillips initially agreed to make a cake for attorney Autumn Scardina but then refused after Scardina explained she was going to use it to celebrate her gender transition.
