Colorado Baker Sued Again Over Alleged LGBTQ Bias
posted on March 23, 2021Colleen Slevin of the Associated Press reports, “A Colorado baker who won a partial victory at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 for refusing to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple went on trial Monday in yet another lawsuit, this one involving a birthday cake for a transgender woman.” The plaintiff claims that the baker discriminated against her based on her gender identity, while he contends that his objection stems from his right to not violate his religious beliefs. The larger question of whether or not a business may legally refuse service to LGBTQ individuals based on religious convictions remains unresolved at the U.S. Supreme Court.
