#AutumnScardina didn't request any writing to be placed on the cake—removing the extremely weak justification that baking the cake would have forced #JackPhillips to express views he opposed. Still, the court dismissed the case.
This ruling exposes how flimsy the argument was that the #baker's refusal was about free speech or religion. It was actually about misusing those protections to justify discrimination against #LGBTQ and trans people, violating Colorado's clear #AntiDiscrimination law.
